Editor’s Note on Transparency: The RKI’s case numbers may differ from those of individual federal states. One reason is the longer transmission paths between the RKI and the appropriate health authorities. The RKI’s Covid-19 dashboard it can also be adjusted during the day. Furthermore, the RKI warns: it could be that the drop in incidence does not reflect the actual infection process, but is the result of an overloaded reporting and testing system. Also, it may play a role that some people do not have their positive self-test or rapid test clarified with a PCR test. So they won’t appear in the stats.
