Berlin – The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in Berlin fell significantly on Sunday and is currently 264.8. The previous day the value was 282.7. Because there is less testing and reporting over the holidays, the figures are only of limited significance. In the last 24 hours there were 73 new infections in Berlin, as the health administration continues to report. No other deaths related to the virus have been reported.
The situation in the intensive care units continues to ease. Only 18.6 percent of intensive care patients in Berlin are Covid patients. The days before, the value was sometimes over 19 percent. Since the Omikron variant continues to spread in Berlin, the Senate will speak on Tuesday about possible tightening. A 2G-plus rule for gastronomy would be conceivable. This means that you might need a negative test for a restaurant visit in addition to 2G. However, this has not yet been decided.
The nationwide incidence is currently 222.7
Nationwide, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported an increase in the official nationwide seven-day incidence for the fourth day in a row. The RKI gave the value of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and week on Sunday morning at 222.7. Because there has been less testing and reporting between the years, the RKI assumes that the figures are underreported. For comparison: the previous day the value was 220.3. A week ago the nationwide incidence was 220.7 (previous month: 439.2). The health authorities in Germany reported 12,515 new corona infections to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 3:34 a.m. Exactly one week ago there were 10,100 infections.
According to the new information, 46 deaths were recorded across Germany within 24 hours. A week ago there were 88 deaths (with dpa).
