Not all cases count anymore
The federal government’s new test strategy has been in effect since February 12. The following applies: Anyone who wants to have a free PCR test done can only do so if an antigen rapid test previously carried out by a test center was positive.
Anyone who has a red warning in the Corona-Warn-App or has carried out a test with a positive result at home is no longer entitled to a free PCR test. But only PCR tests are included in the statistics.
The situation in the districts
Only two districts provided updated figures on Monday. Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf (+136) and Reinickendorf (+96).
► With the seven-day incidence, seven Berlin districts are currently between 1000 and 2000: the hotspot is currently Treptow-Köpenick with 1614.0. It is followed by Lichtenberg (1595.5), Marzahn_hellersdorf (1360.9) and Steglitz-Zehlendorf with 1330.5.

In order to include a more meaningful indicator in the Corona traffic light, the relative change in the seven-day incidence was replaced by the hospitalization incidence. The seven-day incidence and the occupancy of the intensive care beds remain unchanged.
► According to the management report, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants – equivalent to the seven-day incidence for all of Berlin – is 1105.9 (previous day: 1111.2) – the traffic light is RED.
► The seven-day hospitalization incidence is 22.3 (previous day: 22.8) – the traffic light is RED.
This indicator shows how many people per 100,000 inhabitants were hospitalized after a corona infection within a week. The indicator is green when the value is below 4. From 4 the traffic light switches to yellow, at 8 to red.
► The utilization of the intensive care beds by corona patients is 14.6 percent (previous day: 14.8 percent) – the traffic light is YELLOW.
The yellow limit here is 5 percent, and this traffic light also turns red at 20 percent.
