There are now more than 4.0 in Germany00 positively tested people died – and there is also a new high among the infected. An overview of the current figures.
The Corona virus spreads further in Germany. How this happens and how the numbers of infected people are distributed across the federal states can be seen in the video above or in the infographics below. Nationwide there are 137,698 confirmed infections (As of April 17, 7:10 a.m.), as the Johns Hopkins University numbers show. 4,052 people have died. That is 248 more than the previous day. 77,000 people are now considered to have recovered.
The following map shows the absolute number of cases. Go to a county to see more information.
As this is a dynamic situation, the numbers may differ from those in other places.
By Friday (April 17, 6:38 a.m.), according to Johns Hopkins University, were worldwide 2,158,033 infections registered. 144,221 people have died.
The following table shows the number of days in which the corona cases in Germany double compared to other countries. So a higher value is better because it indicates a slower spread.
The next map shows which districts are most affected in relation to their population. Here the absolute number of cases in the big cities is put into perspective and the focus is on more rural regions:
Methodology:
t-online.de obtains the worldwide and federal German case numbers from Johns Hopkins University.
Because the university does not publish any figures on counties and federal states, these come from the Risklayer company. This in turn gathers the data in the so-called crowdsourcing process. This means that volunteers request the information from the regional authorities and enter it in a common document, where it is checked and verified several times by others. The respective websites of the counties and other official bodies serve as the main source.
The local authorities often report new cases faster than the state or federal institutions and update their information at irregular intervals. The total number at the state and federal levels in the data presented here may deviate from the figures of the Robert Koch Institute or the due to the delay in reporting Johns Hopkins University come.
In order to be able to reproduce new developments at district level in real time, we update our infographic every hour. This means that as soon as Risklayer completes its data, you will see this with us too. (Tip: You may have to zoom in closer to the map to see the cities.)
However, this data cannot reflect the actual outbreak. This is due, among other things, to factors such as the incubation period, the number of tests carried out and the respective diagnosis and reporting procedure in the regions. Experts assume a high number of unreported cases among those infected and those who have already recovered.
