As of Tuesday, December 22, 1,530,180 cases of infection have been recorded in the country since the beginning of the collection of official statistical information on coronavirus. The total number of deaths from Covid-19 to date is 27,006 people. The R value over 4 days is approximately 1.05.
The seven-day incidence for Germany is 197.6. This figure shows how many people per 100,000 inhabitants have been infected in the past seven days. The recommended incidence is 50, when the infectious situation is considered controlled and all infected can be monitored.
It is estimated that there are approximately 366,500 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 (27,006) and the estimated 1,136,700 recovered from all ever infected.
According to the Intensive Care Register, 5,167 people are currently being treated for Covid-19 in intensive care units. This represents approximately 21.6 percent of the approximately 24,000 intensive care beds in Germany.
