36,295 Corona cases were reported to the RKI yesterday.
In the previous week comparison, there is a minus of 21 percent.
This is a surprisingly strong decline, after the minus in the past ten days was always less than 20 percent and recently even less than 10 percent.
Accordingly, the 7-day average, which had remained between 40,000 and 41,000 for three days, is falling again more significantly.
At 38,977, it fell below the 40,000 mark for the first time since June 9th.
It is not apparent that reporting glitches or the like would be responsible for the new downward trend, on the contrary:
The decline is across the board, with the incidence falling in 15 of the 16 federal states, with the exception of Bremen.
In a week-on-week comparison, all 16 federal states are now down, after six had already been up during the week.
121 corona deaths were reported to the RKI yesterday, 16 fewer than a week ago.
In total, we are at 806 deceased in the current week.
In a week-on-week comparison, there are already signs of a renewed decline.
(At the weekend there are usually no or almost no new deaths due to the reporting strikes by the RKI and the federal states.)
Every day we hear the new Corona case numbers. But what do they mean, where are we in the pandemic and what is the trend? Olaf Gersemann explains and evaluates the current figures briefly and concisely – every morning anew.
