It is estimated that there are approximately 334,500 active cases, that is, people currently infected. This figure is not officially recorded by the Robert Koch Institute. However, as in other countries, it is determined by subtracting the number of deaths (24,125) and the estimated 1,047,600 recovered from all ever infected.
According to the Intensive Care Register, 4,833 people are currently being treated for Covid-19 in intensive care units. This represents approximately 19.8 percent of the approximately 24,400 intensive care beds in Germany.
