Corona situation: 17 new infections on Sunday, 60 since Friday

The Health Service reported 17 new infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Sunday, October 17.
For Saturday, October 16, 24 infections were reported and for Friday, October 15, 19 cases.

This means that the 7-day incidence has risen to 94.8. At 6.1%, the percentage ITS occupancy is above the threshold value for warning level 2 for the second day in a row. Warning level 2 would be triggered if the ITS value were to remain above 6% and the 7-day incidence were to exceed 100 for three days in a row.

Background to the incidence of infection

Newly affected facility:

Further follow-up cases were reported at these facilities:

Request to people who have tested positive

Contact tracing is becoming increasingly difficult due to the high number of infections. Therefore, the health department asks that all infected persons inform close contacts of their infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They must then immediately go into self-isolation.
