Clinic directors informed by email on Sunday evening
"We have noticed a significant increase in occupancy in the last 24 hours," confirmed the hospital coordinators Dr.
Viktoria Bogner-Flatz and Dr.
Dominik Hinzmann last night.
The two doctors put the third and highest level of the crisis plan for the hospitals into effect on Sunday evening.
It applies from today.
The clinic directors were informed by email on Sunday evening.
Another feat of strength for Munich's hospitals
Now Munich's clinics are forced to undertake another show of strength.
The legal basis is a general order from the Ministry of Health and the Interior Ministry.
A step model is anchored in it.
Clinics have to keep beds free
The highest level grants the clinic coordinators far-reaching powers.
You can oblige hospitals to keep beds free for corona and emergency patients.
In addition, corona patients, who no longer have to be treated as inpatients, can be accommodated in other facilities, such as in rehab clinics or quarantine hotels.
Relocations to neighboring districts are also possible.
Medical crisis manager: The situation is still under control
Nevertheless, the situation is still under control, explained the medical crisis managers Bogner-Flatz and Hinzmann: “We have known since the first Corona wave how efficient the Munich clinics are, if need be.
You are far from at the end of your possibilities. "
