After the stagnation in the number of cases in recent weeks, there is again a significant increase in new corona infections. In addition, the number of Covid cases in the intensive care units rose by 15 more infected people to 222 within one day, as the State Health Office announced on Thursday (as of 4:00 p.m.). "The medical profession in the intensive care units is on guard, the number of patients there is currently increasing continuously and could reach the critical value of 250 by the end of next week," said Health Minister Manne Lucha (Greens) in Stuttgart.
Stuttgart - The so-called hospitalization incidence was 3.4 and has risen sharply compared to Thursday a week ago - that is the number of people per 100,000 inhabitants who come to a clinic with corona symptoms within a week.
According to the country's current corona regulation, a first warning level applies as soon as 250 intensive care beds are occupied with Covid 19 patients or 8 out of 100,000 residents have been brought to a clinic with corona symptoms within seven days.
Then unvaccinated people need negative PCR tests for many public events.
However, the actual current number of hospital admissions is usually higher than indicated in the hospitalization incidence, because the complete values are often only available after one to two weeks.
The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in Baden-Württemberg is 122.9 (Wednesday: 114.2 / Tuesday: 103.3).
The value indicates how many new infections with the coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants were reported to the authorities within a week.
