DThe incidence of new infections within 7 days increased slightly again.according to Robert Koch Institute (RKI) It was 75.7 on Wednesday morning-the price fell again for a long time the day before, to 74.8. It was 61.3 a week ago. German health authorities reported 13,531 new coronavirus infections to RKI in one day. This can be clearly seen from the numbers reflecting the status of the RKI dashboard at 4:10 in the morning. A week ago, the value was 11,561 infections.
According to the latest news, 23 death toll record. 39 people died a week ago. Since the beginning of the pandemic, RKI has counted 3,956,387 detected Sars-CoV-2 infections. Since many infections have not been detected, the actual total may be much higher.
Check vaccination status
The Federal Attorney General has joined the debate on whether employers have the right to know the vaccinations of their employees Christine Lambrecht Turn it on now. She believes that the right to information is only reasonable under special circumstances: “Employees’ health data is particularly sensitive, including the issue of vaccinations against the coronavirus,” the Social Democratic Party politician said in the newspaper of the Funke Media Group (Wednesday). Therefore, the right of employers to obtain information can only be imagined under certain circumstances in “special dangerous situations.”
Federal Minister of Health Jens Spann (CDU) has debated whether the Infection Protection Act should be amended so that employers can inquire about employees’ vaccinations for at least the next six months. He tends to change like this, so Spahn.
Hospital code as an important parameter
Incidence New infection It is the basis for many corona restrictions during the pandemic, for example as part of the Federal Emergency Brake that expires at the end of June. In the future, more consideration will be given to other values such as the number of admissions.
The 7-day hospitalization rate indicates how many Covid 19 hospitalized patients were reported for treatment per 100,000 residents in 7 days. On Tuesday, RKI stated in its management report that the value has been rising slowly for several weeks to 1.75. Because of the large regional differences, there is no national threshold for the incidence of hospitalization, from when the situation can be viewed critically.
The previous high was around 15.5 around Christmas. The 7-day morbidity rate is calculated based on the RKI information based on the date reported to the local health department. According to this, the average interval from infection to hospitalization is about ten days. Therefore, the incidence of hospitalization reflects the situation of infection, and the response is obviously lagging behind.
RKI said the number of people who recovered on Wednesday morning was 3,744,600. The number of people who died or was confirmed to be infected with Sars-CoV-2 rose to 92,223.
Baden-Württemberg starts third vaccination
Starting today, Baden-Württemberg will provide a booster vaccination against corona. Initially, only the third vaccination was allowed for certain groups of people. People over 80 years of age, people in need of care who live in their own homes, and people with immunodeficiency are eligible for the vaccine. The prerequisite for booster vaccination is at least six months before the second vaccination.
Regardless of age or previous illnesses, anyone who has previously only been vaccinated with the so-called carrier vaccines of AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson can be vaccinated. According to RKI, there are approximately 750,000 people in Baden-Württemberg.
Hamburg vaccination center closed
In Hamburg, Germany’s largest vaccination center became popular again on the last day. As Dekheinrich, the medical director of the German News Agency, said, as of Tuesday afternoon, about 3,200 people had come to the facilities in the Hamburg showroom. It is expected that there will be approximately 6,000 women and men in total before the final closure at 8 pm, most of whom will receive Biontech’s second vaccination. Spontaneous people can also be vaccinated once with Johnson & Johnson’s active ingredients. According to the Social Welfare Department, 1.16 million vaccinations have been given since it opened.
In addition to vaccination centers, clinics, medical institutions, companies and schools also conduct vaccination. In addition, there should be special vaccination campaigns, such as in church parishes, townhouses, shopping malls, and football matches. The German second football team Hamburg SV will provide vaccination in the VIP area of Volksparkstadion on September 3 and October 1. Participants are invited to participate in a free guided tour of the stadium and receive a discount at the fan shop on the first day.
In Berlin, this is also the last day of the two vaccination centers: the last vaccination is scheduled for Tuesday night in the center of the Treptower Arena and the Erika-Heß-Eisstadion center during the wedding. The arena’s vaccination center is the first and largest in the city. According to data from the German Red Cross Regional Association, approximately 600,000 vaccinations have been vaccinated in the past eight months. Two other vaccination centers in the city have been closed, and the other two are expected to continue operations until the end of the year.
