On Saturday, twelve new deaths were reported in connection with Corona; since the beginning of the pandemic, there have been 4556 in Berlin.
Experts assume that the number of unreported cases is high
Experts assume that many Corona cases are not recorded because positive rapid tests are not always followed by a PCR test. Only these are counted in the statistics. In addition, not all health offices report their data on a daily basis, especially at the weekend and at the beginning of the week.
