The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the nationwide seven-day incidence on this Saturday morning as 544.0.
The day before, the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week was 553.2, a week ago 717.4 and a month ago 1251.3.
However, the incidence does not provide a complete picture of the infection situation.
Experts have been assuming for some time that there will be a large number of cases not recorded by the RKI - due to overworked health authorities and because not all infected people have a PCR test done.
Only these count in the statistics.
In addition, late registrations or transmission problems can lead to a distortion of individual daily values.
The health authorities in Germany recently reported 72,252 new corona infections (previous week: 87,298) and 184 deaths (previous week: 159) to the RKI within one day.
Here, too, comparisons of the data are only possible to a limited extent due to the test behavior, late registrations or transmission problems.
In general, the number of registered new infections and deaths varies significantly from weekday to weekday, as more and more federal states do not transmit to the RKI, especially at weekends, and report their cases later in the week.
105 injured federal police officers
Since the beginning of the corona pandemic, the federal police have registered around 400 attacks on police officers in connection with the enforcement of the mask requirement and other protective regulations.
According to a response from the federal government to a written question from MP Martina Renner (left), a total of 105 officers were injured in the 401 attacks.
At train stations and on trains, the federal police reported 1,309 criminally relevant offenses in connection with the measures to contain the pandemic and handed them over to the responsible state authority for further processing.
The opponents of the Corona measures have been propagating “rhetoric of violence against state institutions” for two years, Renner told the German Press Agency.
The high number of attacked federal police officers are not the result of spontaneous anger, "but the consequence of a massive mobilization from the right".
