After a brief decline, the number of corona patients in intensive care units in Baden-Württemberg has risen again.
On Saturday, however, with 221 Covid 19 sufferers, it remained below the 250 mark, which is important for calling out the so-called warning level with stricter rules, especially for unvaccinated people.
The day before, according to the data from the State Health Office (as of 16.
Stuttgart - midnight) 211 infected people in intensive treatment.
If the 250 is reached or exceeded on two consecutive working days, the stricter measures come into force nationwide.
Then contact restrictions would apply again: a household would only be able to meet five other people.
This does not apply to those who have recovered or who have been vaccinated, children and adolescents under the age of 18 and people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, for example.
In addition, 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.
The so-called hospitalization incidence was again at 3.4 on Saturday, the value from last Thursday.
It indicates the number of people who come to a clinic with corona symptoms per 100,000 inhabitants within a week.
If it is 8.0 or above on five consecutive working days, this is also a criterion for the corona warning level.
However, the current number of hospital admissions is usually higher than indicated in the hospitalization incidence.
The complete values are often only available after one to two weeks.
