The Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Germany's central authority for COVID-19 data, has shared new figures on Thursday morning, highlighting an increase in new coronavirus infections and deaths.
According to the RKI, a total of 14,659 new cases were reported within the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of people in Germany who have tested positive for the virus to 3,960,000. This represents a 17.0% increase compared to the previous Wednesday.
The incidence rate of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants within the last seven days is now 76.3, a slight increase from the previous week. Within the same period, there were 162 deaths, corresponding to an average of 23 deaths per day. This is approximately 33,000 more than the previous week.
The RKI also reported 23 deaths within 24 hours in connection with the virus. These figures are preliminary and may still be corrected by the RKI. This increased the number of deaths within 24 hours to 92,245, representing a 9.5% increase compared to the previous Thursday.
As of now, the RKI estimates around 122,600 active coronavirus cases with confirmation. These figures are subject to change and may still be corrected by the RKI.
It is important to note that the RKI has been the central authority for COVID-19 data gathering and situation reports in Germany since the initial outbreak in January 2020. Germany has experienced multiple waves, with surveillance measures evolving over time. Mortality data are currently estimated from provisional figures that are updated weekly, reflecting ongoing lag and adjustment processes in official records.
