"The children's turning point" - The current corona numbers explained for you

49 Corona cases were reported to the RKI yesterday.

These are - presumably incomplete - reports from Schleswig-Holstein.

The other 15 federal states were on reporting strikes on Sunday.

The number of reported active cases drops to 929,000.

This is the first time since June 21 that the million mark has been undercut.

The nationwide incidence was 282 at the beginning of the week, a decrease of 36 points compared to the previous week.

Not a single one of the federal states is in the plus in the previous week comparison.

The total number of cases has fallen again in the past week.

In the vulnerable age group 60, for example, the minus compared to the previous week was eleven percent.

Different in the age group U15.

The number of cases here rose again slightly in the past week, by two percent, after falling four weeks in a row.

One possible reason is the beginning of the return from the school holidays.

The school year started two weeks ago in North Rhine-Westphalia, and last week in Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein. A total of 29 percent of German citizens live in these federal states.

It is unclear to what extent the rising numbers among under-15-year-olds reflect an increased incidence of infection or only a falling under-recording due to increased testing - also because the data situation has become even worse after contact tracing has been abandoned.

806 corona deaths were reported to the RKI in the past week, 34 fewer than the week before.

It is the second decline in a row.

(At the weekend there are usually no or almost no new deaths due to the reporting strikes by the RKI and the federal states.)
