In Hesse, 139 infections with the corona virus were registered within 24 hours.
This comes from the data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Sunday (as of 3:11 a.m.).
Four weeks ago, the number of confirmed new infections was 685. A total of 289,484 infections were counted in Hesse.
The seven-day incidence drops slightly to 20.8 from 22.1 the previous day.
Four weeks ago the incidence was 93. The corona numbers are usually lower on weekends, among other things because less testing is done.
With Baden-Württemberg (25.4) and Saarland (21.1) only two federal states have higher values than Hesse.
With the incidence, the number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants is recorded within seven days.
Four other people have died in connection with Covid-19.
According to the RKI, the virus has claimed 7,436 lives since the beginning of the pandemic.
With an incidence of 52.6, the district of Groß-Gerau is the only district in Hesse with an index number above 50.
The former corona hotspot Fulda has one of the lowest incidences in the country with 8.1 on Sunday.
Only in the Vogelsbergkreis has the infection rate cooled down.
There the index is 4.7.
After an intermediate spurt, Hessen is losing ground again in vaccination compared to the federal government: 47.7 percent of people in Hessen have so far received a first vaccination against the coronavirus. Hessen is now 0.4 points below the federal average. The front runner is Saarland with 51.6 - Rhineland-Palatinate comes in at 47.4. In the case of the fully vaccinated, Hesse lags more clearly behind the federal mean. Hessen has 23.1 percent, which is 2.6 percentage points below the average. A good three million people in Hessen are vaccinated at least once.
Since the end of the prioritization on June 7, more than 144,000 people in the country have registered for an injection against the virus in one of the 28 Hessian vaccination centers, according to the Ministry of the Interior in Wiesbaden. Regardless of this, doctors in private practice in particular experience a considerable rush of people who want to be vaccinated.
From Monday onwards, the city of Frankfurt intends to give those who have been vaccinated a corresponding QR code in the vaccination center in the festival hall - “provided that the federal government provides the necessary technical requirements in good time. A subsequent issue of a certificate for vaccinations carried out before this period is not possible in the vaccination center ”. It is about an addition to the yellow vaccination booklet that can still be used ("digital vaccination pass"). The Hessian Chamber of Pharmacists has called on people who have been vaccinated against corona not to rush into the pharmacies immediately to issue the new digital vaccination pass at the beginning of next week, as reported by the dpa. The pharmacies took time.
