According to RKI estimates in Germany, according to the management report on Tuesday, the number of reproductions, or R value for short, was 1.12 (previous day: 1.18). This means that one infected person infects a little more than one other person on average. The R-value depicts the infection rate about one and a half weeks beforehand. “The 4-day R-value has been above 1 since the second week of September,” the RKI said.
In addition, the RKI gives a so-called seven-day R in its current situation report. The value relates to a longer period of time and is therefore less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value was 1.03 on Tuesday (previous day: 0.98). It shows the infection process from eight to 16 days ago. (dpa)
