There are an estimated 112,477 active cases, that is, people currently infected. This figure is not officially recorded by the Robert Koch Institute.

According to the Intensive Care Register, 1,470 people are currently being treated for Covid-19 in intensive care units. This represents about 4.90 percent of the more than 30,000 intensive care beds in Germany.
