The neighboring state of Saxony wants to restrict large parts of public life from Monday.
New restrictions are also likely in Brandenburg.
Prime Minister Woidke does not give any details, but says when a decision will be made.
Schönefeld - Brandenburg is facing stricter restrictions in the fight against the spread of the corona virus. "We have to make the necessary decisions to protect life and limb," said Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) on Saturday in Schönefeld. That applies even if the decisions are tough for the individual. Intensive discussions are currently being held. The cabinet wants to decide on Tuesday. In the south of Brandenburg, the situation in the hospitals is dramatic, said Woidke. “Patients have to be relocated.” In Brandenburg, two districts in the south now have a seven-day incidence of over 1000.
The hospitals in the south of Brandenburg are increasingly burdened. "The relocation of Covid-19 patients within the supply regions or within the state of Brandenburg has already been carried out," said the spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Gabriel Hesse. "This included in particular relocations from smaller hospitals to hospitals with higher levels of care."
The hospitals work together in regional networks. If the capacities in Brandenburg are not sufficient, the state can fall back on help from neighboring countries. The federal states are divided into five groups, so-called clovers. Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia form the east clover leaf. According to the Brandenburg Ministry of Health, however, a tense situation without the possibility of admission is currently reported in all of these federal states.
The head of government called on vaccine skeptics to protect themselves and others. "I think it is necessary to be very clear that only vaccination can get us out of this pandemic emergency," said Woidke. "Vaccination is lived humanity, vaccination is also lived solidarity." At a vaccination summit, the state government agreed with local authorities, doctors and hospitals on Friday to increase the number of vaccinations to 160,000 be crossed, be exceeded, be passed. With the help of local authorities, 100 new vaccination centers are to be built.
The demand for vaccinations against the coronavirus is increasing. According to the city, a vaccination day planned for next Wednesday in Teltow (Potsdam-Mittelmark district) with around 250 appointments in a few hours was already booked out. It was about first, second and booster vaccinations.
The value of new corona cases per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days not only rose further to 1207.9 in the Elbe-Elster district, it is also above this mark in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district with 1134.7, said the Ministry of Health.
This means that Elbe-Elster has the fourth highest value nationwide, Oberspreewald-Lausitz the ninth highest.
The nationwide incidence rose to 552.4, down significantly a week ago at 342.7.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, the value in Brandenburg is the fourth highest nationwide after Saxony, Bavaria and Thuringia.
In Berlin it is 355.8.
