At Monday’s lockdown summit all 16 federal states agreed to “consequently” apply the so-called emergency brake by returning to previous lockdown measures if the state’s 7-day incidence exceeds 100 on three consecutive days. The German capital had a 7-day incidence of 125 per 100,000 inhabitants on Friday and recorded a further 1,000 cases over the past 24 hours. Berlin uses a traffic light system that tracks the reproductions value, 7-day incidence and hospital occupancy. On Friday only the 7-day incidence was coloured red. The national 7-day incidence per 100,000 inhabitants rose to 119.1 on Friday morning, from 113.3 on the previous day.
