Halle (Saale) –
In Saxony-Anhalt, the number of confirmed corona infections has increased even more. In the period from Sunday to Monday, 192 cases were added, according to the Ministry of Health.
According to the authorities, at least 2,641 people in Saxony are currently infected with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2. That’s a good 600 more than a week ago. There have been 6,931 infections since the start of the corona pandemic in the spring.
Significantly more corona cases in Saxony-Anhalt
The number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week rose to 64.2 and is still above the highest alarm threshold of 50. A week ago, the value was 56.
Germany imposed strict crown rules in November to reduce the number of new infections below the highest alarm threshold.
Jerichower Land particularly affected
In Jerichower Land, the burden of 110.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per week is almost double the national average. The district is therefore the most affected region, ahead of Salzwedel (89.0) and Magdeburg (83.8).
With Stendal (47.7), Dessau-Roßlau (43.7) and Wittenberg (41.6), only three districts are below the critical value of 50 infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
Currently 34 patients in intensive care
According to statistics, at least 661 people with Covid-19 are being treated in hospitals, 34 of them in intensive care. Since the pandemic began, 93 people have died related to Covid-19. (dpa)
