Coronavirus in Germany: The number of new infections is high.

The German university hospitals are reporting increasing numbers of patients in intensive care units.

  • The Corona * case numbers are at a high level in Germany.

  • The careless handling of the corona virus is also driving up the number of infections in Berlin.

  • Here we offer you the

    current number of cases

     in Germany

    in a map 

    *.

Update from October 1, 8:55 p.m.:

According to information from

Focus Online

, the health authorities of the federal states have

reported

2589 new corona infections to

the RKI

.

In North Rhine-Westphalia alone there are 758 new cases.

16 more

deaths

are to be lamented.

Because Bavaria has canceled one death, the total number is now 9476. The Free State stands at 2661 - a sad peak among the federal states.

Pleasing: The nationwide

reproduction number

has fallen further to 0.9.

In Cologne (36.4), Duisburg (36.9), Gelsenkirchen (40.7) and the Oberbergischer Kreis (35.6), the

limit of 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants was

exceeded within one week.

Here,

restrictions

on celebrations in restaurants and spectator numbers at football games would apply.

The two

hotspots

Hamm (95.5) and Remscheid (59.5) are even above the second mark, the incidence value of 50.

Coronavirus in Germany: has there been a change in the quarantine requirement?

Update from October 1, 6.15 p.m.:

Apparently, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer wants to

bring about

a significant

reduction in quarantine for returnees from corona risk areas

.

The news portal

ThePioneer

, which refers to a

draft

ordinance by the Ministry of the Interior,

reports

on this.

The quarantine obligation for travelers returning from regions that are classified by the RKI as corona risk areas remains.

In the future, this should generally

include

ten days after entry

- four days less than before.

"From the fifth day in isolation there is the possibility of

ending isolation with

a

negative test result

," says the draft.

"The test may be

carried out

on the

fifth day after entry

at the earliest

."



Those affected should, however, have to inform the responsible authorities immediately if they should have

symptoms typical of

Corona,

such as cough, fever, runny nose or loss of smell and taste

within ten days of entry

.

The model ordinance of the Minister of Health should serve as a recommendation for the federal states.

Corona virus in Germany: police blow up wedding with 400 guests

First report from October 1:

Munich - The

corona cases in Germany

are picking up.

The number of registered new corona infections in Germany exceeded the threshold of 2,500 within a few days.

According to the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI), the health authorities reported 2,503 corona infections within 24 hours.

That was 705 more than the day before.

Twelve people died.

In order to slow the corona pandemic, the federal government and the federal states have agreed on new corona rules, local measures such as

limiting

the

number of participants

for private parties in public or rented rooms and introducing

fines for incorrect information in contact lists

.

In addition to the distance and hygiene regulations in trade and local transport, a mask requirement applies nationwide.

Corona in Germany: Police dissolve wedding celebration with 400 guests

However, many are quite relaxed about the corona virus.

Especially at private parties, hygiene regulations and distance rules to protect against corona infection are apparently quickly forgotten.

The

police in Bremen had to prematurely break off

a

wedding celebration with 400 guests

.

A large part of the celebrants did not adhere to the distance rules and did not wear mouth and nose protection, the police said on Wednesday.

In the restaurant, the permitted upper limit of 250 people was clearly exceeded.

After the organizer and the police tried several times in vain to influence the behavior of the guests, the wedding party was ended.

Violations were documented and several reports were made, according to the police.

The police had been notified by a caller late Tuesday evening via emergency call.

The corona situation in Bremen is serious.

The current

7-day incidence

is

31.2

, the RKI announced on Thursday.

Bremen as a federal state thus has the highest value and has Berlin in second place (7-day incidence:

29.4) is displaced.

Corona in Germany: Illegal parties and family celebrations - the virus is rampant in Berlin

The carelessness in dealing with the coronavirus is causing problems in Berlin.

Illegal parties in trendy neighborhoods, but also family celebrations, accelerate the number of corona infections.

The Berlin districts of

Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg

,

Mitte

and

Neukölln

are particularly affected

.

The infection process is slowly pushing the health authorities to their limits.

Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg

is particularly affected

.

There are currently no restrictions on public life there.

Due to the location of the district, it is also difficult to enforce.

"If we were a municipality like Garmisch-Partenkirchen, we would probably act similarly," said Knut Mildner-Spindler (SPD), City Councilor for Health in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, as reported by the Tagesspiegel.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen * (Bavaria) ordered mass tests after a corona outbreak and imposed far-reaching restrictions.

Munich * (Bavaria) had reacted to the rapidly increasing number of infections with contact restrictions and a mask requirement in the city center.

In

Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg

, a debate about the

help of the Bundeswehr

in the Corona crisis has broken out.

The Berlin district (green-left alternative) has so far categorically rejected the use of soldiers in the health department.

Federal Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer reacted in surprise.

Federal Minister Jens Spahn also reacted with incomprehension.

In other districts, the Bundeswehr supports the health authorities in tracking contacts.

In Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, the value in the past few days has always been just below the upper limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days.

Berlin-Mitte has already torn the value at 56.7 (as of October 1, 0 a.m.).

Corona: RKI reports new case numbers

  • 291,722 people in Germany

    have been proven to be infected with the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus, the RKI announced on Thursday.

  • 9,500 people have

    died of or in connection with a corona infection so far.

  • There are currently around

    24,300 known active cases

    in Germany

    .

Corona situation - "not yet dramatic" - University clinics are reporting increasing patient numbers

The German

university hospitals are

reporting increasing numbers of

patients in the intensive care units

, reports the AFP news agency.

The situation is “not yet dramatic”, but needs “very serious observation”, said the chairman of the 

Berlin Charité

, Heyo Kroemer, when presenting research projects at the university clinics on Covid-19 in Berlin.

According to Kroemer, the number of ventilated patients at the Charité has increased from six to 17 in the past two weeks.

It is "extremely important that we stay on the ball now," he said with a view to corona protective measures such as distance rules or wearing masks.

The numbers showed that the pandemic was far from over.

Nationwide, 355 Covid-19 patients have to be treated in intensive care.

195 of them are ventilated according to the RKI (as of September 30th) (ml)
