Dresden (dpa / sn) - With the corona pandemic, there are also signs of a slight relaxation in Saxony.
The number of new infections every day continued to decline on Saturday.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the number of new infections reported per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days was 122.6.
On Friday it was still 134. After Thuringia (132.1), Saxony is still the state with the highest seven-day incidence.
Nationwide, it fell to 87.3 on Saturday.
Schleswig-Holstein has the lowest value (39.1).
In Saxony itself there is still a very differentiated picture.
With the district of central Saxony (238.1) and the Erzgebirgskreis (236.8), two of the three regions most severely affected nationwide are in the Free State.
Only in Coburg 255.6 is the value even higher.
Four areas in Saxony are now below the threshold of 100: the cities of Leipzig (59.9) and Dresden (74.9) as well as the former Corona hotspot Vogtland (78.3) and northern Saxony (91.5).
The RKI registered 610 detected new infections and five further deaths for Saxony within 24 hours.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, 277,434 people have been infected with the corona virus in the Free State.
9,372 women and men have died of or with Covid 19 disease.
