In the last 24 hours, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has recorded 12,690 new coronavirus infections and another 336 deaths related to Sars-CoV-2. There are currently about 353,300 active corona cases in Germany. This has lead to a necessary call to extend the hard lockdown in Germany.
The 7-day incidence in Germany is 141.2, according to RKI (January 2, 0.00).
In the district of Vogtlandkreis (Saxony) the incidence of 7 days is still extremely high, at 885.4. Since Christmas, the district has been battling a particularly high number of infections. It is difficult to explain why the Vogtlandkreis figures exploded.
Here are the most affected areas:
- Vogtlandkreis District (Saxony) – 885.4
- Meissen District (Saxony) – 594.1
- The city of Coburg (Bavaria) – 479.6
- Bautzen District (Saxony) – 420.3
- Hildburghausen District (Thuringia) 403.5
- Unstrut-Hainich-Kreis District (Thuringia) – 400.1
- District of Nordsachsen (Saxony) – 396.5
Germany is in a tough stalemate and will probably remain so for the time being.
