The number of confirmed coronavirus infections in Germany reached a milestone on Thursday, topping the 200.000-mark for the first time. However, the number of active and new infections remains at a very low level. More than 90 percent of coronavirus patients in Germany have already recovered. 

Coronavirus in Germany: 200.250 cases and 9.078 deaths

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, at least 200.250 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been registered in Germany, according to the latest figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), which were published at midnight on Thursday. Health authorities in Germany reported 534 new corona infections on Wednesday.

According to the RKI figures, 9.078 people infected with coronavirus have lost their lives in Germany to date - an increase of seven on the previous day. RKI estimates that 186.400 people have already recovered from the infection - although recovered patients are not required to register themselves with their doctor, for instance. 

Reproduction rate remains relatively steady

The RKI estimates that the reproduction rate (R-value - the number of people that each person with coronavirus goes on to infect) is 1,02, as of July 5. The R-value reflects the infection situation of approximately one and a half weeks ago. Authorities have repeatedly stressed that the R-value needs to remain below one for the pandemic to recede. 

Since mid-May, the RKI has also been providing a so-called seven-day R-rate. It refers to a longer period and is, therefore, less subject to daily fluctuations. According to RKI estimates, this value was 0,95 as of midnight on July 15.
