The increasing number of Covid-19 patients in intensive care units in Baden-Württemberg is approaching the 250 mark, which is crucial for tougher countermeasures. On Wednesday (as of 4:00 p.m.) there were 242 cases, 8 more than the day before. If the value of 250 is reached or exceeded on two consecutive working days, Baden-Württemberg calls out the so-called warning level with stricter rules, especially for unvaccinated people.
Stuttgart - For example, contact restrictions would then apply again: a household would only be able to meet five other people.
This does not apply to those who have recovered or who have been vaccinated, children and adolescents under the age of 18 and people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, for example.
In addition, people who have neither been vaccinated against the virus nor recovered from Covid 19 disease would have to show negative PCR tests in many areas.
The so-called hospitalization incidence also rose and was 4.2 on Wednesday after 3.9 on the previous day.
It indicates the number of people who come to a clinic with corona symptoms per 100,000 inhabitants within a week.
If it is 8.0 or above on five consecutive working days, this is also a criterion for the corona warning level.
However, the current number of hospital admissions is usually higher than indicated in the hospitalization incidence.
The complete values are often only available after one to two weeks.
The even sharper alarm level is called when the hospitalization incidence reaches or exceeds 12.0 on five working days in a row or the occupancy rate of the intensive care beds in Baden-Württemberg is 390 or more on two consecutive working days.
Saturdays are not considered working days, and Sundays and public holidays are not taken into account.
The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in Baden-Württemberg also increased and reached 161.3 on Wednesday (previous day: 148.4).
This number indicates how many new infections with the coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants were reported to the authorities within a week.
