Important comparative values ​​are climbing

For people with a completed series of vaccinations, the value according to the authorities is 15.1 (previous day: 15.0). The proportion of those infected under the age of 20 continues to rise. According to the State Health Office, of the 9,048 Covid 19 cases in the past week, 1,174 were vaccinated people. 7,874 people were non-vaccinated or people with an unclear vaccination status.

BW state government highly concerned

“The situation is serious. We must now do everything we can to ensure that we do not overload the health system,” said State Secretary Dr. Ute Leidig (Greens) in Stuttgart. “When our intensive care units are full, we have to turn seriously ill people away – we absolutely have to prevent such a scenario. The most effective protection against this is vaccination.”

The State Secretary also emphasized that the other established precautionary and hygiene measures – such as wearing the mask – are still urgently necessary against this background.
