Update from November 24th, 4:18 pm: It is now clear how many intensive care patients are to be relocated from Bavaria. Nuremberg’s fire director Marc Gistrichovsky, coordinator of the cloverleaf installation, spoke of 50 patients on Wednesday. When and where is still unclear. “The planning is ongoing.” The “target areas” would be determined after the suitable patients had been recorded.

Update from November 24th, 3:51 p.m .: It is not clear whether it is due to the tightening of the rules or because the topic is currently on everyone’s lips. However, the number of vaccinations has increased significantly in the past week. As the dpa found out when asked by the Bavarian Ministry of Health, 128,000 vaccinations were carried out across Bavaria on Tuesday alone. Of these, around 100,000 were booster vaccinations, 10,500 second vaccinations and at least 17,000 first vaccinations.

For example, the majority of the vaccinations were administered on Tuesday by resident doctors – just under 78,000. The other 50,000 or so were in vaccination centers, mobile vaccination teams and hospitals. A weekly comparison shows the increase in the numbers very clearly: In the first week of November, a good 179,000 vaccinations were administered, in the second week 336,000 and last week 499,000. The number of first vaccinations has doubled from 42,000 (first week of November) to 75,000 (second week) and now 87,000 (third week).

Corona: A quarter of all intensive care patients in Germany come from Bavaria

Update from November 24th, 2:15 p.m .: Another bad news from the hospitals in Bavaria. The nationwide DIVI intensive care register first reported a Covid intensive care patient number of 1006 for the Free State. This means that 41 new patients have been added since yesterday. The Free State thus clearly tops the Germany-wide list. Of the 4047 people who need intensive medical treatment for a Covid 19 disease, around a quarter are in Bavarian wards. The hospital traffic lights switched to red in 600 patients.

On Wednesday, fewer than ten percent of the intensive care beds were free in exactly half of the 96 Bavarian rural districts and urban districts, and there was not a single free intensive care bed in twenty municipalities. The death toll is also rising rapidly: In the past seven days, according to data from Munich’s Ludwig Maximilians University, 432 corona patients have died in Bavaria, which is more than a week more than in October as a whole.

Corona in Bavaria: the incidence of hospitalization continues to rise

First report from November 24th, 1:35 p.m .: Munich – It’s probably not a trend reversal yet, but it is still a step in the right direction: The incidence in Bavaria fell slightly on Wednesday, November 24th today – but only after the decimal point. It is 644.3 (previous day: 644.9). More has happened in the hotspot regions. Only eight districts and cities are over 1000. Here people will go into lockdown from tomorrow. The new rules were approved by the state parliament yesterday following the government declaration by Prime Minister Markus Söder.

In addition to the incidence, the occupancy of the hospitals is of decisive importance. Here one speaks of a so-called hospitalization incidence. It indicates how many corona patients per 100,000 inhabitants were admitted to the hospital within a week. The State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) gave a value of 9.6 (as of November 23). The day before, the value was 8.7. The clinics are filling up faster and faster. Only 294 of 3190 intensive care beds are still unoccupied in the Free State. 975 people need intensive medical treatment for a Covid 19 infection. 515 of them are ventilated.

Corona in Bavaria: intensive care patients are being relocated to other federal states

The situation at Bavarian hospitals is now so dramatic that preparations have already been made to move a large number of intensive care patients to other federal states. The so-called cloverleaf concept for the strategic transfer of intensive care patients within Germany has now been activated for the Free State. This was announced by the German interdisciplinary association for intensive care and emergency medicine (DIVI) on Wednesday night.

In the next few days, a larger number of patients will be relocated to other clover leaf regions. Bavaria is the clover leaf south in the emergency structure. The states of Thuringia, Saxony, Berlin and Brandenburg, which are also particularly affected by Corona, have also activated the concept, they belong to the east clover leaf. At the moment there was still free capacity in the north and in Hesse. (tel with dpa) * Merkur.de / bayern is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
