In the southwest, stricter restrictions on unvaccinated people could soon apply.
The head of government clearly draws attention to the seriousness of the situation.
Stuttgart - In the Corona crisis, Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) warned against overloading the hospitals and prepared the population for further restrictions.
"The alert is expected to come into force in a few days, and with it far-reaching protective measures," said Kretschmann in a podcast, as announced by the State Ministry in Stuttgart.
“The 2G rule then applies in many areas of public life,” he added.
In the southwest, the number of corona cases is increasing and recently reached new highs several times during the pandemic.
According to the State Health Office, the number of corona patients treated in intensive care units reached 380 on Friday (as of 4 p.m.) - that was 29 people more than the day before.

In the southwest, the so-called corona warning level currently applies, which already entails numerous restrictions for many unvaccinated people.
Should the number of corona intensive care patients in the country rise to over 390 on two consecutive working days, the alert level would be reached.
The 2G rule mentioned by Kretschmann means that in many areas only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered are allowed access.
This applies, for example, to cultural institutions and public events, sports and leisure facilities, trade fairs and exhibitions as well as gastronomy, as the State Ministry announced.
The Southwest head of government said in the podcast that unvaccinated people should not be punished: “The measures are simply necessary, otherwise there is a risk of our health system being overloaded.
And they are proportionate in that they do not affect those who are vaccinated or who have had an infection. "
According to the State Health Office, the seven-day incidence increased significantly.
The number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants was 352.6 after 332.3 the previous day.
The district of Biberach registered the nationwide peak value of 689.7.
The alarm level has already been declared there: From this Saturday on, the 2G regulation will largely apply with numerous access restrictions for unvaccinated people.
According to the LGA, the number of reported new corona infection cases in the country rose by 7,977 to 697,454.
There were 38 other reported deaths related to the coronavirus, bringing the number of deaths recorded related to the pandemic to 11,242.
