In view of the increasing number of corona infections, concerns about bottlenecks in the Hessian hospitals are growing again.
In the past few days, the number of people who were admitted to a clinic with Covid 19 disease has risen continuously, and the situation is getting worse again, the Ministry of Social Affairs warned in Wiesbaden on Thursday.
Wiesbaden - 167 patients are currently secured in the intensive care units or at least treated with suspected corona infection (as of October 28, 2021).
"The overwhelming majority of people who are required to have intensive care are not vaccinated," the message said.
The vaccinated intensive care patients with Covid-19 are almost exclusively people who are very old or suffer from a chronic underlying disease.

“All the data confirm the positive effect of the vaccination.
The benefit of the vaccination far outweighs the side effects that occur rarely.
The long-term consequences of a Covid disease can be very serious, "warned Hesse's Minister of Health Kai Klose (Greens).
A vaccination reliably protects against getting so seriously ill with Covid-19 that patients would have to go to intensive care units.
