The seven-day incidence rate of new infections per 100,000 residents has been rising steadily in Germany for more than two weeks.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for disease control and prevention early on Wednesday, the rate was 11.4; The previous day the value was 10.9. At the most recent low, on July, 6 it was 4.9.
The health authorities in Germany reported 2,203 new coronavirus infections to the RKI within one day, according to figures from early Wednesday.
A week ago, the figure for Germany was 1,548 infections.
The incidence has been the basis for many coronavirus restrictions in the pandemic so far, for example within the framework of the federal emergency brake, which expired at the end of June.
In future, other values such as hospital admissions are to be taken more into account.
According to the new data, 19 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago, there were 28 deaths.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the RKI has counted 3,748,613 confirmed infections with the coronavirus. The actual total number is probably much higher, as many infections are not recognized.
The number of people who have recovered was given by the RKI as 3,642,000. The number of people who died as a result of the virus rose to 91,416.
German Health Minister Jens Spahn has warned the population not to neglect protective measures in the face of rising corona numbers.
“If the incidence continues to double like this, every 12 days, then we will exceed 400 in September, 800 in October,” he said in Berlin on Wednesday. Everyone together must ask themselves the question: “Do we want to let this happen?” he added.
Spahn pointed out how important it was to open schools and day care centres in an environment of low contagion. He called for compliance with standard safety measures.
“It’s about wearing masks indoors. Getting tested regularly. If you are not vaccinated yet, get vaccinated,” he said. “We are deciding now, now in these days of July about how September, October, November will be.” The question, he said, is also what the trend could mean for hospitalizations and the possible situation in intensive care units, taking into account the vaccination rate.
