The institute said 92,346 people have died of Covid-19 in Germany.
Top health officials have urged more citizens to get vaccinated.
More than 61% of the German population – 50.9 million people – are fully vaccinated, but that is less than in other European countries. The daily vaccination rate has been dropping for weeks.
