"The two 1000 clusters" - The current corona numbers explained for you

132,494 corona cases were reported to the RKI yesterday.

In the previous week comparison, there is an increase of 68 percent.

The daily value probably still contains late registrations that were due after the long weekend.

At the same time, obviously not all reported cases are actually reported by the RKI.

The federal authority for Baden-Württemberg reports almost 10,000 cases, while the Stuttgart state government reports 16,800 cases.

For Hamburg, on the other hand, there are only 269 cases officially – fewer than one was reported in an average Berlin district.

Baden-Württemberg and Hamburg are the only two federal states in which the 7-day incidence is falling today.

In the other federal states, the incidence is increasing, in some cases very significantly.

Nationwide, the incidence has increased from 414 to 462 today.

The number of urban and rural districts with an incidence of more than 1,000 increases from one to seven within a day.

All seven can be found either in the greater Munich area – or in Saarland.

In the case of Munich, a connection with the Oktoberfest that has just ended is obvious.

Saarland, on the other hand, was particularly affected by the autumn wave.

The incidence in Saarland is already 950.

One reason could be the proximity to France, where a pronounced autumn wave can also be observed.

According to Our World in Data, in absolute terms, more cases have been registered in France in the past seven days than in the USA, namely an average of almost 48,000. This is the second highest value in the world – right after Germany.

97 corona deaths were reported to the RKI yesterday, three more than a week ago.
