Important information:
When the cases are transmitted from the health authorities through the responsible state authorities to the RKI, there is a reporting and transmission delay of several days, both in the raw case numbers and the 7-day incidence rates. The discrepancies also arise from different collection times as well as various transmission routes. COVID-19 cases that meet the RKI case definition must be electronically transmitted by the responsible health authority to the competent state authority no later than the next working day and anonymized transmission to the RKI by the state competence center for infection epidemiology (LKI) must occur no later than the next working day.
The basis for the RKI case numbers are the reports from the health authorities up to midnight of the previous day. The basis for the MASFG case numbers are the reports up to 4 p.m. of the previous day. All transmitted figures represent the current and provisional data status. Changes are reserved.
