The incidence of corona has jumped again in Berlin. According to the latest data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the value on 08 January 2021 was 647.9. The previous day, it was 511.5. The number indicates how many new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants were registered in the past seven days. After the holidays, the values were still below 300.

In the past few days, the RKI had always pointed out that a lower level of testing and reporting activity could be assumed over the Christmas holidays and the turn of the year, and that the data therefore only provided an "incomplete picture of the epidemiological situation". This reference no longer existed on Saturday. The corresponding information was also no longer displayed on the pages of the Berlin Senate's situation report on Saturday. Reports from all districts were available.
According to the RKI, 6060 new infections were registered in Berlin between Friday and Saturday. The total number of all proven infections since the beginning of the pandemic thus rose to 356,659. Four further deaths related to Covid-19 appear in the statistics. This means that since the beginning of the pandemic in Berlin, 4036 people have been proven to have died from or with the virus.
