The corona incidence and the occupancy of intensive care beds continue to rise in Saxony-Anhalt - from the perspective of the hospital society, however, the situation in the clinics is not yet critical.
"At the moment, the supply in Saxony-Anhalt is absolutely guaranteed," said Wolfgang Schütte, President of the Sachsen-Anhalt Hospital Society, on Tuesday of the German Press Agency.
Magdeburg - He does not think it is ruled out that planned operations will have to be postponed again in the future.
There are individual hospitals where, for example, due to a high level of sickness, a relevant staff shortage can be identified, Schütte continues.
If a new corona wave came, it could be resolved by withdrawing staff from other areas.
However, he does not see that the hospitals in the country have lost an excessive amount of staff.
“Everyone lost staff in the pandemic.
But you can't say a lot of staff in Saxony-Anhalt, ”said the pulmonologist from Halle.
The President of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (Divi), Gernot Marx, previously told "MDR Aktuell" that many nurses across Germany had ended their jobs or reduced their working hours since the pandemic began because of the stress. As a result, around 4,000 fewer intensive care beds would be available across Germany compared to the beginning of the year. The head of intensive therapy at the Magdeburg University Hospital also noted a loss of around 15 percent of the nursing staff compared to the “Volksstimme”.
According to data from the Divi register, which is updated hourly, there were 41 people with Covid 19 disease in the intensive care units in the country on Tuesday afternoon.
The number of patients who are ventilated was 20. A month ago around 10 Covid-19 patients were treated in intensive care in Saxony-Anhalt.
The hospitals in the country recorded the highest exposure on January 5, 2021 with 211 intensive care patients.
