DThe Robert Koch Institute reported an increase in corona infections in Germany from 353 on Thursday morning to now 179.717 Cases. The number of deaths had risen by 62 the day before 8411 climbed.
According to the latest RKI figures, the number of reproductions, or R-value for short, fell to 0.68 from Tuesday (data status May 27, midnight). This means that each infected person infects a little less than another person on average. The R value shows the infection process approximately one and a half weeks beforehand. Since mid-May, the RKI has also given a so-called 7-day R. It refers to a longer period and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value recently dropped again to 0.76. It shows the infection process eight to 16 days ago.
No municipality in Germany currently exceeds the critical limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week. The city is currently hardest hit regensburg (49.8). The city was the only region to exceed the lower Bavarian limit of 35.
