Berlin - The
Corona *
infection numbers
in
Germany
are still high.
The
Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
reported a supposedly low value with 15,741 new infections within one day on Sunday, but on
Friday
(
November
20) the number was still just under
22,600
infections.
The picture looks similar with the incidence values.
But where are people currently infected?
According to the Robert Koch Institute, the
incidence of infections is
currently mostly diffuse and difficult to assign.
However, accumulations
occurred
in “
households
, in community facilities and
old people's and nursing homes
as well as in professional settings and based on religious events”.
Due to the increased infection in old people's homes, the number of
Corona patients * treated in intensive care has
increased significantly
since mid-October
- from 655 patients (15.10) to 3,630 (21.11).
Virologists and ministers have already warned of a collapse of the hospitals.
However, there are currently no
bottlenecks,
the German Hospital Association has given the all-clear for the time being.
In some regions, however, predictable treatments are already being postponed in order to create free capacities.
Corona in Germany: Partial lockdown since the beginning of November - what's next?
- Extension or tightening?
A
partial lockdown has been in effect
in Germany since November 2nd
.
Restaurants and cafes
are
closed
and
leisure activities are put
on hold.
Even the big
New Year's Eve party
at the Brandenburg Gate is said to be canceled.
But the lockdown, originally planned until the beginning of December, does not yet seem to have the desired effect.
The number of
infections
is still
high
.
On Wednesday,
Angela Merkel
therefore
wants to
consult
with the country leaders about
extending
or
tightening
the measures.
For many politicians, the former seems to be already clear.
"Everything indicates that the current restrictions will have to be continued for a while beyond November 30," said Finance Minister Scholz, for example, of Bild am Sonntag.
Even
virologists and physicians
were in favor of
extension
of.
“The aim was to achieve a significant decrease in new infections.
Almost three weeks after the start of the measures, however, we do not see any significant drop, but a sideways movement, ”said the chief virologist at Heidelberg University, Hans-Georg Kräusslich, of the
Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung
.
Even if the general line seems to have been established, the
individual measures
have so far been
discussed
very
controversially
.
The SPD and the Free Voters in Bavaria are warning of an “endless” lockdown.
"Christmas * and New Year's Eve people should be able to meet their loved ones," said SPD circles.
The so-called
“one-friend rule”
is also criticized, as
reported by
Merkur.de
*.
Rhineland-Palatinate's Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) even accused her of being
“alien to life”
.
The new regulations will be finalized on Wednesday.
However, some details of the plans have already been made public.
