Hanover - The corona situation in Germany * is still tense.

On Tuesday (January 11th, 2022) the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported 45,690 new corona infections and a seven-day incidence of 387.9.

The number of corona cases in Lower Saxony is also at a high level.

The state's Corona crisis team around Health Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) will therefore inform you again about the current situation on Tuesday (January 11th, 2022).

We will report live on the press conference at this point.

Corona crisis team in Lower Saxony: Omikron and hospitalization should be an issue

The main topic of the Corona crisis team in Lower Saxony should be the spread of the Omikron variant.

In addition, the current figures on hospitalization and the occupancy of intensive care beds in hospitals in Lower Saxony should go.

Furthermore, the question of how things will continue after the planned end of warning level 3 as part of the so-called Christmas and New Year's rest on January 15 in Lower Saxony should be addressed.

Last week, various measures to contain the Omikron variant had already been decided at the federal-state conference.

For Lower Saxony, however, these changed regulations do not mean any major changes for the time being, as they essentially correspond to the Christmas rest period currently in force.

Corona in Lower Saxony: Four regions with an incidence over 500

The RKI states the number of new infections for Lower Saxony on Tuesday (January 11th, 2022) as 3,267, the seven-day incidence in the state increases to 322.4.

The following regions in Lower Saxony recorded an incidence of over 500 on Tuesday (January 11th, 2022):
