Germany's seven-day COVID-19 incidence rate continued to rise on Tuesday to a new all-time high of 213.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases said.
On Monday, the incidence rate was already at a record high of 201.1. The previous peak -- just below 200 -- was registered during the second COVID-19 wave in December last year.
The daily number of COVID-19 cases also continued to rise as 21,832 new infections were registered within one day, around 11,000 more than a week earlier.
According to the German Intensive Care Availability Register (DIVI), the number of COVID-19 patients requiring treatment in intensive care units (ICUs) also kept climbing and reached 2,687 on Tuesday.
