Corona virus in Bavaria: 20 retirement home residents in Hof infected with corona - they have already received two vaccinations
As
reported by
infranken.de
, 30 residents in a retirement home in Hof (Upper Franconia) tested positive for Corona *, 20 of them had already received the second vaccination *.
The British Corona variant * has been detected in the "predominant part" of the 20 infected people, as quoted by the home manager Simone Rödel.
Those affected have tested positive, "but they have no symptoms - or only very mild ones".
The fact that the residents of the BRK facility “SeniorenWohnen” were infected with the virus despite being vaccinated comes as a surprise to the home management.
“We knew that the variant * was on its way now.
And we knew that it is highly contagious and aggressive, ”Rödel told
infranken.de, which is
why infections were always possible.
Despite the vaccination, nothing has changed in the procedures in the home.
"We didn't let up or take anything lightly because of it just because people were vaccinated now."
Home residents infected with corona after Biontech vaccination: Home management protects care workers
How the corona virus * made it to the home in Upper Franconia is not clear.
Rödel
protects
the employees from
infranken.de
: "The nursing staff are still the ones who are at the forefront and give their best." The nursing staff cannot be held responsible for the outbreak.
How the virus finally made it into the home is incomprehensible.
“We are not sealed off,” explains the manager.
"There are visitors, there are therapists, there are doctors," said the director.
A glimmer of hope: While 20 vaccinated residents tested positive the day before, there were only 14 on Thursday.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) writes on its website that the vaccines are very effective: “However, despite the COVID-19 vaccination, a COVID-19 disease can occur because the vaccination does not provide 100% protection offers. ”
