cases until 16/03/2020 (see Table 1), after which only the electronically transmitted cases will be shown.

Case numbers in Germany
As of March 21, 2020, 00:00 a.m. (updated online at 10:00 a.m.)
The COVID-19 dashboard (https://corona.rki.de) provides a detailed description of the transmitted COVID-19 cases in Germany by district and federal state .
Erratum zum Dashbord from March 21, 2020, 12:15 p.m .: The death in Saxony-Anhalt was incorrectly transmitted as deceased. The data will be corrected on March 22nd, 2020 00:00. The incorrectly transmitted death was initially listed in the table below and was then removed.
...
Notes on recording and publishing COVID 19 case numbers:
In Germany, the approximately 400 health offices electronically transmit pseudonymized data on confirmed COVID-19 cases to the federal states at least once a day (in the current situation even more frequently) on the basis of the Infection Protection Act. They in turn transmit the data on the COVID-19 cases electronically to the RKI. Data reporting at 00:00 a.m.
The number of cases of sick and deceased are updated on the website after a short check once a day - in the morning each time.
On the other hand, the RKI publishes daily situation reports on COVID-19, which also contain case numbers: www.rki.de/covid-19-situationsbericht . The case numbers from the management report relate to the same data status, i.e. 00:00 each time.
There is a certain period of time between the becoming known of a case on site, the notification to the health authority, the entry of the data in the software, the transmission to the responsible state authority and from there to the RKI. According to the requirements in the Infection Protection Act, this can be two to three working days. In the current situation, the transmission is significantly faster than in routine operation because data is processed faster. The fact that some cases are electronically recorded in the health department with a delay is also due to the fact that the health authorities first have to carry out investigations into the individual cases and their contact persons and that priority must be given to infection protection measures, which is already taking up a lot of the resources of the health authorities. The data is also validated at the RKI, to publish reliable data. There may also be slight delays within this process.

Coronavirus latest: German death toll surpasses 100
Germany is assessing the damage that a shutdown of most public life could have in its economy. Meanwhile, there are mounting doubts about the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Follow DW for the latest.
...
10:02 Germany is "seeing signs that the exponential growth curve is flattening off slightly," said Lothar Wieler, the head of the Robert Koch Institute.
However, the public health institute would only be able to definitively confirm the trend on Wednesday, Wieler said. He added that he was optimistic, and attributed the potential flattening to social distancing measures including school closures and bans on public gatherings.
