Munich – The current corona trend in the Free State continues: Day after day, the incidences make a huge leap upwards.

On Saturday morning, February 5, the Bavaria-wide value is 1741.2 according to the RKI.

For comparison: the day before it was 1695.6.

In the state capital of Munich, too, the numbers continue to skyrocket.

Here the incidence rises to 2,277.8 (previous day: 2119.3).

Despite the high number of Corona * infections, calls for early easing in Bavaria - including from Prime Minister Söder * - are getting louder.

The Munich infectiologist Clemens Wendtner warns against quick loosening.

Corona numbers are rising in Munich - Munich's chief physician warns of easing

The clinics are still facing major challenges, the chief physician for infectiology at the Munich Clinic Schwabing told the

“Augsburger Allgemeine”

.

“And the occupancy of the intensive care beds is not the whole truth either.

Because at Omikron, the normal wards are in high demand instead.” There are just as limited capacities there.

"For me as a clinician, it doesn't matter whether someone is in a hospital with or because of Corona*," Wendtner clarifies.

"Covid-19 is a significant risk factor for people who are hospitalized for other reasons." Day after day he sees the patients in the clinic.

"This is suffering, people are scared to death."

Omikron demands normal wards in clinics

You can now think about easing, “but you shouldn’t implement them just yet”.

The doctor urgently warns: At least until at least April “we will still be dealing with the high incidence figures.

Although Omikron's courses are not that severe, there are still 0.5 percent of newly infected people who, statistically speaking, become seriously ill." In view of the high number of cases, more than 1000 people are affected every day.
