Important information:
When transmitting cases from the health offices through the responsible state authorities to the RKI, there is a reporting and transmission delay of several days, both for the pure case numbers and for the 7-day incidences. The differences also result from different collection times and various transmission routes. COVID-19 cases that meet the RKI case definition must be electronically transmitted by the responsible health office to the responsible state authority no later than the next working day and, on the part of the State Competence Center for Infection Epidemiology (LKI), anonymized transmission to the RKI must also take place no later than the next working day.
The basis for the case numbers of the RKI are the reports from the health authorities up to midnight of the previous day. The basis for the case numbers of the MASFG are the reports up to 4 p.m. of the previous day. All transmitted numbers represent current and preliminary data. Changes are reserved.
