This weekend saw the biggest daily rise in Covid-19 cases ever. Meanwhile, more specifically, he Covid R number in Germany has risen sharply in recent days, with the number at 2.88 for the last 4 days. This ‘reproductive rate’ means that for every 100 people infected, it’ll be passed on to 288 people. It’s accepted that an R rate of below 1 is the aim.
