Corona numbers in the Offenbach district: Fewer new infections, what now?

On October 29, 2025, the Corona situation in Hesse and Germany remains tense. The current figures do not show any new data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) due to delays. But what does this mean for people in the region and beyond? Let's take a look at the current developments and the situation in the Offenbach district.

In the Offenbach district, 42 new cases were registered in the last seven days, resulting in a 7-day incidence of 11.6 per 100,000 inhabitants. These numbers reflect the general trend that can also be observed in Hesse, where a total of 2,984,420 positive tests were recorded. What is particularly noteworthy is that the 35 to 59 age group has the most infections with 1,159,235 cases.

Infection numbers in detail

A detailed look at the age groups shows the following infection distribution in Hesse:

• 0-04 Jahre: 71.896 Fälle (23,44 % der Bevölkerung)
• 05-14 Jahre: 347.464 Fälle (56,74 % der Bevölkerung)
• 15-34 Jahre: 868.064 Fälle (58,33 % der Bevölkerung)
• 35-59 Jahre: 1.159.235 Fälle (53,12 % der Bevölkerung)
• 60-79 Jahre: 405.709 Fälle (29,66 % der Bevölkerung)
• 80+ Jahre: 129.448 Fälle (29,85 % der Bevölkerung)

In a nationwide comparison, the situation looks similar. According to current reports from corona-in-zahlen.de, there are 39,108,086 COVID-19 infections in Germany, with deaths from or with COVID-19 at 188,144. The infection rate is 47.03% and the fatality rate is 0.48%. Encouragingly, the number of new infections has increased over the last 7 days, with an average of 816 per day, indicating a possible stabilization.

Vaccinations and hospitalization

An important component in the fight against COVID-19 is the vaccination campaign. In Germany, the vaccination rate (vaccinated at least once) is 78.1%, while the basic immunization rate is 76.5%. This agrees with the figures from the RKI, which administered a total of 188,244,457 vaccine doses.

But despite these positive signs, the hospitalization rate of 0.91 cases per 100,000 inhabitants within 7 days should not be underestimated. There are currently 768 people hospitalized, including 87 COVID-19 patients requiring intensive care. This makes it clear that the situation remains serious.

What are the most common symptoms?

According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19 affects people in different ways. Most infected people show mild to moderate symptoms, which usually improve without hospital treatment. The most common symptoms include:

• Fieber
• Husten
• Müdigkeit
• Verlust des Geschmacks oder Geruchs

Less common symptoms that may also occur include sore throat, headache, and diarrhea. If you have serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing or confusion, you should seek medical help immediately.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 therefore remains dynamic. It is important to follow developments closely and to act independently if symptoms occur. The next few weeks could be decisive in determining how the situation develops in our cities and communities. Stay healthy!
