If the corona numbers continue to rise, the so-called warning level could be declared in Baden-Württemberg next week.
Then people who have neither been vaccinated against the virus nor recovered from Covid 19 disease would have to show negative PCR tests in many areas.
In addition, contact restrictions would then apply again: a household would then only be able to meet with five other people.
Stuttgart - Exceptions are those who have recovered and are vaccinated, children and adolescents up to and including 17 years of age and people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, for example.
Couples living separately are considered to be one household.
There are two independent factors as to when the warning level is called.
On the one hand, there is the so-called hospitalization incidence: when eight or more people per 100,000 inhabitants in the southwest have to go to hospital because of Corona on five consecutive days.
On the other hand, it is checked whether there are 250 or more Covid patients in intensive care units on two consecutive days.
The warning level applies as soon as one of the criteria is met.
To classify: On Thursday there were 207 patients in intensive care beds, the hospitalization incidence was 3.14.
Unlike in the past, national values count and no longer those of individual districts.
