RKI dashboard on the corona infection situation is discontinued

More than three years after the outbreak of the corona pandemic, the Covid 19 dashboard of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) is to be discontinued. On (today) Friday, users can use the online offer for the last time.

The dashboard was partially updated daily and gave, among other things, an overview of the reported new corona infections and deaths as well as the 7-day incidence – nationwide, for federal states and at district level.

A spokeswoman for the RKI informed the German Press Agency that in the current situation it was no longer necessary to prepare the registration data in this form. According to the information, the Corona dashboard went online in March 2020. However, the data should still be available online from Monday to Friday: in the so-called Pandemic Radar of the RKI and in the online service Github.

Another companion from the times of the pandemic has only been available to a limited extent since Thursday: the Corona-Warn-App was put into sleep mode on June 1st. Contact tracing is no longer necessary, vaccination certificates can still be used if necessary. With 48 million downloads, the warning app is one of the most popular smartphone applications in Germany.
