In total, 108 districts are above the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 residents in the last seven days.
When an area passes this threshold, new restrictions come into force such as bans on travelling and staying overnight in most other states in Germany.

Here's a summary of the situation:
What's the latest?
The number of new Covid-19 infections within a 24 hour period in Germany 4,325 – however, not all health authorities have submitted data, the Robert Koch Institute said on Monday.
Within this period, 12 people are reported to have died. A total of 9,789 people have died in total since the start of the pandemic. And there have been a total of 366,299 confirmed Covid-19 infections in Germany.
Keep in mind that coronavirus figures are usually comparatively low on Sundays and Mondays because not all health authorities transmit data on the weekend.
The number of new infections reached a peak on Saturday with 7,830 cases reported within a 24 hour period.
What's the impact of the increase of cases?
Public health authorities say they are having problems in tracing infection chains. According to a report in German newspaper FAZ, the RKI is finding out the origin of an infection in less than 30 percent of cases. A spokesman for the Health Ministry confirmed this to the paper. It's due to health workers being overloaded with cases.
On Saturday Chancellor Angela Merkel made an urgent appeal to the country's population to help contain the pandemic.
"We must now do everything we can to prevent the virus from spreading uncontrollably. Every day counts," Merkel said in her weekly podcast.

As of Monday 108 regions in Germany exceeded the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days. The number of regions with more than 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants stands just under 20.
