* These patients are on the one hand SARS-CoV-2 positive hospital patients whose reason for admission is an underlying disease that was so aggravated by a SARS-CoV-2 infection that hospital treatment became necessary. On the other hand, these are SARS-CoV-2 positive hospital patients whose original reason for admission is not related to COVID-19. These hospital patients also cause increased care and isolation costs due to their SARS-CoV-2 infection.
