Corona in Hesse: The current number of cases from the RKI at a glance

The case numbers of the RKI may differ from those of the individual federal states. One reason for this is the longer transmission paths between the RKI and the responsible health authorities. The RKI’s Covid-19 dashboard can also be adjusted during the day. The RKI also warns: It could be that the decline in incidence does not reflect the actual infection process, but is the result of an overloaded reporting and testing system. In addition, it could play a role that some people do not have their positive self-test or rapid test clarified with a PCR test. They will then not appear in the statistics.

Hesse has also received new corona rules, and further easing is planned.* At a federal-state summit on Wednesday (February 16, 2022), the heads of the federal states and the federal government around Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) agreed on a gradual, extensive relaxation of the previous protective measures.

Self-test versus official test: If the corona result is positive, the subsequent steps in the holiday destination differ significantly.
