#Germany #Coronavirus #UPDATES

The number of reported coronavirus infections in Germany has risen to 1,370,045. As can be seen from the information from the state authorities that I have evaluated, 21,948 new cases were added. That is 3990 more than last Tuesday.

The number of infection-related deaths rose 777 to 23,106. The previous high since the beginning of the pandemic was recorded on December 8th with 568 deaths. Around 341,400 people are currently infected.

In their daily reports, six federal states recorded four-digit increases, with four states even having more than 3000 new cases: Nordrhein-Westfalen (4083 new cases) ahead of Bayern (3763), Baden-Württemberg (3295) and Sachsen (3167) Hessen (1418)

and Berlin (1129) are over 1000. Measured by the number of inhabitants, Sachsom is the state with the greatest daily increase in new infections per inhabitant on this Tuesday: The Free State has 77.8 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

Thüringen has the second highest value with 36.4. The infection rate (R value) is given by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) as 0.95 (previous day: 1.12). This means that an average of 100 infected people infect 95 other people with Sars-CoV-2.

The 7-day R-value is currently 0.98 (previous day: 1.06). According to the Divi Register, 4735 Covid-19 patients are currently being treated in intensive care in Germany, 2679 of whom are ventilated.

Around 4680 intensive care beds are currently still available in the German clinics. But due to a data error on Monday by Sachsen the missing data will be added shared over the week.

-FYI

REMINDER: The RKI figures usually differ slightly from the case data that I share daily in the evening. For this purpose, I directly refer to the registration figures from the federal states, as published by the ministries and authorities on there site.
