Even in Baden-Württemberg, more and more people are re-infected with Corona. This also means that more people need to be treated in the hospital.
Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) Uncomfortable autumn weather pushes people more and more indoors, where corona viruses spread more easily. And so the number of corona infections in the Southwest is also increasing significantly again. 140 Covid 19 patients would be cared for in the intensive care units of Baden-Württemberg, as announced Thursday by the state health office in Stuttgart. This is an increase of 47 cases compared to the previous week.
The number of coronary patients in Baden-Württemberg clinics is on the rise
1,374 people with Covid-19 were last treated in regular wards, 519 more than seven days ago. The State Health Office (LGA) does not differentiate between whether a person is being treated or with a corona infection. The nationwide 7-day incidence was 536.9. In the previous week, the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants was 412.1 in seven days.
Most experts agree that a renewed increase in the number of cases is unlikely to overwhelm the healthcare system. The background is that the omicron BA.5 variant of the coronavirus is extremely contagious, but the health consequences are usually not that severe.
