These are the pictures that nobody wanted to see: In the Rottal-Inn district, 23 people suffering from Covid 19 were relocated in an elaborate campaign - because they can no longer be treated there.
Rottal-Inn - Everyone is talking about hospitals at their limit, five to twelve and the clinic collapse that will soon begin.
All of this is already a reality in the Rottal-Inn district *: Last Friday, the clinic network, to which the hospitals in Eggenfelden, Pfarrkirchen and Simbach belong, had to move 23 patients to other hospitals.
All of them are infected with the coronavirus * and have Covid-19 - four of them so severe that they have to be treated in intensive care.
Rottal-Inn: Corona patients have to be relocated
"The relocation became necessary because the Rottal-Inn clinics reached the limit of the supply options for Covid-19 patients due to the high incidence figures in the district," write the Rottal Inn clinics on Instagram and publish photos of the laborious relocation campaign.
50 emergency services were on hand with 19 ambulances to transport the sick to clinics in northern Bavaria.
The whole thing took five hours.
The Rottal-Inn district is one of the worst hotspots in Germany in the fourth Corona wave *.
On Wednesday the incidence was 1298.0.

Rottal Inn clinics no longer have any capacity for Covid patients
With the relocation, there was again room for maneuver for patient care in the Rottal-Inn * clinics, according to Medical Director Dr.
Klaus Kienle.
Only a few days earlier, the clinic association had turned to the public with an "urgent request for help".
In it he asked nurses and doctors to register for “any support services that may be required”.
This is necessary to maintain patient care in the district.
While the clinics are on the verge of resilience, some commented on the photos of the transfer that it was fake or that the patients were sick because they had been vaccinated.
The clinic association immediately took action against this “targeted misinformation” and deleted various comments.
