German health authorities reported 13,565 new coronavirus infections to RKI in one day. This is evident from the numbers reflecting the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:09 in the morning. A week ago, the value was 13,531 infections.
According to new information, Germany recorded 35 deaths within 24 hours. 23 people died a week ago. Since the beginning of the pandemic, RKI has detected 4,030,681 detected Sars-CoV-2 infections. Since many infections have not been detected, the actual total may be much higher.
The number of hospitalized patients increased slightly
To date, the incidence of new infections has been the basis for many corona restrictions in the pandemic, for example as part of the Federal Emergency Brake that expires at the end of June. In the future, more consideration will be given to other values such as the number of admissions.
In its management report on Tuesday, RKI stated that the number of corona patients admitted within 7 days per 100,000 residents was 1.69 (1.64 on Monday). Due to large regional differences, no nationwide threshold is provided for the incidence of hospitalization. The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas.
The 7-day morbidity rate is calculated based on the RKI information based on the date reported to the local health department. According to this, the average interval from infection to hospitalization is about ten days, so this value reflects the infection with a significant delay.
RKI stated that the number of people who have recovered is 3,793,000. The number of people who died or was confirmed to be infected with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 92,448.
