The situation in the hospitals in the Starnberg district is getting worse.

A mayor is in quarantine.

District

- Starnberg's

clinic director

Dr.

Thomas Weiler made an appeal to the citizens on Friday afternoon: “Please stay at home and do not do any dangerous things.” The reason for the haunting words: In the district there were only four

intensive care beds

with

ventilators

available.

There were none in the neighboring districts of Fürstenfeldbruck and Weilheim-Schongau, and two in Landsberg.

The four districts form a common

rescue network

.

There 74 patients received

intensive

care

on Friday

, including 24

Covid patients

and three urgent suspected cases.

Corona in Starnberg: Aggravated situation in the clinics - intensive care beds soon full?

What makes Weiler thoughtful: Two weeks ago the clinics had

reported

92

intensive care beds

, now there are only 80, 33 of them in the Starnberg district.

The reason for this is that smaller clinics should apparently not receive any compensation payments if they keep beds free for

Covid patients

.

Therefore, they would prefer more lucrative interventions.

"That creates a completely wrong incentive," says Weiler in the direction of politics and calls for a correction.

The smaller houses in particular would have

borne the greatest burden

in the first wave of the

corona pandemic

.

"The available beds are breaking away", warns Weiler.

At the weekend, this could mean that

intensive care

patients would have to be relocated

from the

Starnberg district

to other regions.

The number of people infected with corona in the Starnberg district continues to rise: On Saturday, there were again 16 cases, a little less than last week.

The incidence is just under 100.

Corona situation in the Starnberg district: Tutzing mayor in quarantine - her husband is positive

Regardless of this, the

mayor of Tutzing,

Marlene Greinwald, went into

quarantine

- initially voluntarily because of a suspected case, then also because her husband tested positive.

Last week, she was in contact with the municipal administration from her home office, and public appointments were made by her deputies.

From Friday, December 4th, she will be able to work again in the town hall.

Tutzinger mayor warns of false-negative corona tests: It is important to think for yourself

A family member went

to the doctor

with

flu-like symptoms

on Thursday a week

ago

and had himself

tested

for the

corona

virus, Greinwald reports

when asked by

Starnberger Merkur.

"That's why my husband and I had ourselves tested right away and put in quarantine to be on the safe side," says Greinwald.

Your result was negative, that of the family member and Martin Greinwald

positive

- the latter, however, only with the second test.

The first

quick test

was negative and therefore wrong.

“It shows me that you have to think for yourself and take responsibility.

Otherwise it won't work, ”emphasizes Greinwald.

She warns against the setting according to the motto: "It won't be that bad."

Even if the

quarantine situation is

strange, she speaks of a "very intense experience of experiencing it live".

Your impressions from the health department are positive: “We were able to call up my husband's positive result 48 hours later using a QR code.

The call came from the

health department

just

an hour later

. “Greinwald's husband was symptom-free.

It has not yet been clarified where the Corona case originated in your area.

The partial corona lockdown was extended again.

The case numbers level off at a high level.

The city of Passau is a new super hotspot in Bavaria.

According to Prime Minister Markus Söder, the corona numbers are still too high.

The partial lockdown has therefore been extended - and even tightened slightly.
