Update from Friday, 09/10/2021, 7:05 a.m .: The corona situation in Hesse remains tense. The number of corona infections in Hesse rose by 1296 cases on Friday to a total of 319,332. This is reflected in the data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) from Friday morning. The health authorities in Hesse also registered eight more deaths in connection with Covid 19 disease. The total number of deaths since the beginning of the pandemic has risen to 7,660 in Hesse.
The seven-day incidence rose again by leaps and bounds, especially in Offenbach am Main. While the incidence value here on Thursday (09.09.2021) was 182.6, it was again 236.1 on Friday – higher than anywhere else in Germany. Overall, however, the incidence in Hesse decreased slightly, from 110.5 to 109.8. The national average is currently 83.8.

Corona in Hessen: Few new infections in schools after the summer holidays
According to current figures, however, the schools are not to blame for the dynamic situation in the pandemic. According to the Ministry of Culture in Hesse, there were even comparatively few corona infections at the beginning of the new school year. Around 1000 schoolchildren (0.13 percent) and around 60 teachers (0.10 percent) are currently in official quarantine, the dpa ministry said. Before the Christmas holidays at the end of last year, the number was significantly higher at 17,000 to 18,000 students (more than 2 percent).

Corona in Hessen: Jens Spahn (CDU) warns of “pandemic of the unvaccinated”
Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) warned on Wednesday (September 8th, 2021) of the increasing number of infections across Germany. “Take the chance, get vaccinated”, appealed Jens Spahn. He underlined that vaccination rates now need to be increased – to protect yourself and others. “Every single vaccination decides how safely we get through the autumn,” said Spahn. “What we are currently seeing is a pandemic for the unvaccinated.”
So far, 61.5 percent of the population in Germany has been fully vaccinated, 65.9 percent have at least one vaccination. In order to level off the fourth wave of the pandemic, a vaccination rate of 80 to 90 percent is considered necessary.
The Hessian corona regulation will soon have to be extended. Prime Minister Volker Bouffier has announced innovations for the next version. (marv) * fnp.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
