In Hesse, 352 new infections with the corona virus were registered within 24 hours.

This is evident from the numbers from the Robert Koch Institute on Sunday (as of 3:11 a.m.).

Thus, the nationwide seven-day incidence drops slightly to 42.3 after 46.2 the previous day.

On Sunday a week ago, the incidence was 75.4.

With Baden-Württemberg and Thuringia, only two federal states have a higher incidence than Hesse.

The corona numbers are usually lower on weekends, among other things because less testing is done.

With the incidence, the number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants is recorded within seven days.

Six other people have died in connection with Covid-19.

According to the RKI, the virus has claimed 7,325 lives since last spring.

A total of 286,463 infections were counted.

Even if the city of Offenbach has the highest incidence in Hesse with 73.7, the Offenbach residents can prepare for easing: Because Offenbach has had an incidence of less than 100 for more than five days, the city is moving into stage one of the state's escalation plan.

This means that residents of Frankfurt's neighboring city can shop at “Click and Meet” again without a negative test.

The mask requirement remains.

Outdoor catering is also allowed to reopen.

The individual requirements can be found here.

The district of Fulda and the Schwalm-Eder district will also be on the first level from Monday.

The residents of the city of Giessen can also look forward to it.

As of Sunday, the city is on stage two of the plan.

That means more freedom for people.

The Hessian state capital has the second highest incidence with 66.1.

The values ​​are lowest in the district of Fulda with 17 and in Darmstadt with 21.3.

Meanwhile, the state's vaccination offensive is showing success, at least in terms of the first vaccination rate: 41.9 percent of people in Hesse have received their first vaccination against the corona virus.

That is 0.1 percentage points more than the federal average.

The front runner is Saarland with 45.7, Rhineland-Palatinate with 40.5.

For the fully vaccinated, however, Hessen lags behind the federal mean.

Hessen has 15.2 percent, which is 1.9 percentage points below the average.

According to the data from the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (Divi) on Sunday (as of 09:19 a.m.), 244 adult Covid-19 patients were treated in intensive care units, 134 of whom were ventilated.
