The sudden increase in the number of corona cases in Bavaria is leaving its mark.
Pink alert prevails in seven districts, and over 20 municipalities no longer report a single free intensive care bed.
Munich - The incidences in Bavaria continue to rise rapidly.
Since Tuesday (November 2), longer quarantine times for contact persons have been in effect again.
According to the RKI, the value is already over 500 in seven districts and even over 600 in three districts. The Mühldorf am Inn district currently has the highest value in Germany with a 7-day incidence of 650.7.
This is followed by Miesbach (620.9) and Traunstein (614.7).
The acute Corona * situation can also be felt in the Bavarian hospitals.

Corona situation in Bavaria: not a single intensive care bed is free in 23 municipalities
On Tuesday, 40 of the 96 Bavarian districts and independent cities reported that they had less than ten percent free intensive care beds available.
In 23 municipalities, not a single intensive care bed was free, as can be seen from the daily updated intensive care register.
Throughout Bavaria, 455 Covid patients were in intensive care units, almost 200 more than two weeks ago.
The intensive care units in the greater Nuremberg * -Fürth-Erlangen area are fully or almost fully occupied.
A chief doctor from Fürth recently complained about the current situation on Instagram and called for a change in the health system.
The situation in large parts of Upper Bavaria and in eastern Lower Bavaria is just as precarious.
Will new restrictions only come when the clinic traffic light turns red?
The state government's corona traffic light, which serves as an indicator of the load on the clinics, is still green.
The traffic light would be switched to red if the nationwide number of Covid intensive care patients rose to 600.
This would be linked to renewed restrictions on public life.
In a press conference tomorrow, Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) could, however, decide on stricter restrictions in advance.
Hospitalization | Intensive care bed utilization | |
limit | Yellow at 1200 | Red at 600 |
As of November 2nd | 504 | 455 |
The high number of corona intensive care patients is already restricting regular operations in some hospitals.
