92,009 corona cases were reported to the RKI yesterday.
This is the lowest Friday reading in four weeks.
In a week-on-week comparison, this is the third minus in a row. The drop is a whopping 25 percent.
The 7-day incidence falls from 729 to 710.
And above all: compared to the previous week, there is a minus of 43 points. This is the first drop since Pentecost.
Incidences are declining across the board. Ten of the 16 federal states are down compared to the previous day. Only Hamburg, which is notorious for its values that are prone to fluctuations, recorded a significant increase.
In a week-on-week comparison, all west German federal states are in the red with their incidences - the only exception here is Bavaria.
It is unclear to what extent the turnaround in incidence reflects an actual decline in the incidence of infection or not, for example, a reduced frequency of testing.
In any case, the start of the summer holidays in the previously affected federal states has obviously had a dampening effect on the reported (!) number of cases.
And the holiday season is currently reaching its peak. With the weekend, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland go into the summer holidays.
The number of citizens living in federal states where holidays are held has increased from 48 to 59 million.
School is only still running in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
For the first time since the beginning of the summer wave at the beginning of June, the 7-day average of the new corona cases is clearly in the red compared to the previous week.
116 corona deaths were reported to the RKI yesterday, two fewer than a week ago.
In total, we are at 644 deceased in the current week.
Every day we hear the new Corona case numbers. But what do they mean, where are we in the pandemic and what is the trend? Olaf Gersemann explains and evaluates the current figures briefly and concisely - every morning anew.
