The seven-day incidence in Brandenburg remains at a high level: After 5,964 new cases within 24 hours, the number of new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants rose to 1,308.1 nationwide within a week, as the Ministry of Health announced on Saturday.
That was a slight increase from the previous day’s 1291.5 and significantly more than a week ago, when an incidence of 1023.9 was recorded. The number of people who have died with Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic has increased by 2 to exactly 5000.
The highest incidence value was currently calculated in the state capital of Potsdam at 1808.8. The location is best in the Elbe-Elster district with 442.2.
In almost all districts and urban districts in Brandenburg, stricter corona rules with exit restrictions for the unvaccinated apply due to high corona incidences and more intensive care patients. The districts of Elbe-Elster and Oberspreewald-Lausitz maintain these restrictions for non-vaccinated people, despite the fact that the incidence has fallen in the meantime.
