According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), over the past day in Germany, the number of newly infected people has increased by 6,638, which is more than 1,500 cases more than yesterday (5,132).
As of Thursday, October 15, 341,223 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 9,710. The R value over 4 days is 1.04.
It is estimated that there are 46,913 active cases, that is, currently infected people. 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 (9,710) and the estimated 284,600 recovered from all ever infected.
According to the Intensive Care Register, 604 people are currently being treated for Covid-19 in intensive care units. This represents about two percent of the more than 30,200 intensive care beds in Germany.
