Already this Thursday, the first patient transports to Berlin are being prepared at Brandenburg clinics; otherwise, some Brandenburg clinics are threatened with overload. According to information from Tagesspiegel, the state will transfer up to 51 patients from the Niederlausitz, Elbe-Elster, Cottbus and Eisenhüttenstadt Clinic to Berlin on Friday.
“Transports from Brandenburg to Berlin start early Friday,” Berlin health senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD) told the Tagesspiegel. “We are happy to help.” Kalayci’s colleague from Brandenburg, green politician Ursula Nonnemacher, had asked Berlin for help. Like neighboring Saxony, southern Brandenburg is a coronavirus hot spot. Nurses were urgently needed there, but also in Berlin, even before the pandemic.
Now clinics in southern Brandenburg, in particular, seem to be relieved. Both regular patients and Covid-19 cases will be transferred to Berlin. The Brandenburgers are housed in normal Berlin halls.
In the almost 60 hospitals in the capital plan, there are more than 2,300 corresponding beds available. Plank hospitals are clinics that are classified as necessary for national supply and therefore entitled to public investment. These include state, private, non-profit organizations, and churches.
According to information from Tagesspiegel, some of the Brandenburgers are taken to the state-owned Vivantes clinics in Berlin. A week ago, its board of directors was concerned about having to unregister individual houses from the rescue system, also because Vivantes already deals with so many Covid 19 cases. Meanwhile, the situation at Vivantes has apparently relaxed a bit.
Initially, some in the Potsdam state government assumed that the Brandenburgers would be relocated to the Covid-19 emergency clinic at the Berlin exhibition center. The “Corona Jafféstraße Treatment Center”, in hall 26, is available as a reserve hospital. But as long as there is room in the regular clinics, Senator Kalayci doesn’t want the Brandenburgers to be treated at the fair. The emergency hospital is available as a reserve and is not yet operational.
Clinics in eastern Germany are supposed to help themselves like a cloverleaf region
The situation in Berlin’s intensive care units is more critical. As reported, about 90 percent of beds are occupied these days and experienced nursing staff is in short supply.
La Charité, which is equipped for especially sensitive cases, workers’ rental books. The university clinic also received inquiries from West German university hospitals about whether it could travel there.

Brandenburg will probably also ask Saxony-Anhalt for the capacity of patient beds, Nonnemacher announced. Saxony is out of the question because the situation there is catastrophic. In eastern Germany, clinics in Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia are supposed to help each other as a region called clover.
In the fight against coronavirus, the biggest bottleneck in Brandenburg clinics is currently the available hospital staff. Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) said Thursday at a special meeting of the state parliament health committee in Potsdam.
Number of corona infections in Brandenburg at the highest level
In the spring, the state expanded ventilation beds to 1,032 available spots. “But we don’t have the necessary personnel,” Nonnemacher said. “In many clinics the maximum theoretical capacity has been reached.”
Therefore, the state has already asked all nurses who are currently at home for family reasons or who have changed jobs to contact the staffing platforms of the clinics. In Brandenburg, as of Thursday, 879 people are being treated in hospital for a Covid 19 disease, 156 of them are in intensive care, 111 of them need ventilation. Of the 1031 intensive care beds in the country, 732 are currently occupied.
Furthermore, the number of new corona virus infections in Brandenburg has reached a new record. The Health Ministry announced in Potsdam on Thursday that 1,217 cases had been added in one day.
The previous maximum was reached last Saturday with 1019 new infections. In addition, there were 42 deaths on Thursday, more than ever. Some district administrators in southern Brandenburg are on the verge of declaring a disaster, Nonnemacher said.

Brandenburg had already proclaimed a “mass seizure of the sick”, a kind of preliminary stage to a disaster. Even in this case, the coordination for the transfer of patients can be controlled centrally by the emergency services, and the health service can access vehicles of other authorities.
The infection process in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Spree-Neisse and Elbe-Elster districts in southern Brandenburg, which are currently particularly affected, is diffuse, Nonnemacher said. In the south of the country in particular, the seven-day incidence value – the number of new cases reported per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days – is more than 500. This means that the southern districts are in line with Saxony .
“You are a dentist and a right-wing extremist”
Health Minister Nonnemacher broke her neck Thursday in state parliament, it was a veritable outburst of anger at the lectern. The parliamentary group AfD once again accused them of “Crown actionism.”
“I am tired of his denial of the crown,” Nonnemacher told the AfD, especially his parliamentary group leader Hans-Christoph Berndt. Berndt is classified as a right-wing extremist by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, spoke in the state parliament of “ruling through fear of the crown” and praised so-called “lateral thinkers” as the “citizen movement of the thoughtful and courageous. “
Nonnemacher said, “You are a dentist and laboratory physician, you have been on leave since 2006 and have never experienced an emergency room job,” said Nonnemacher, who worked as a physician in the emergency room at Spandau Vivantes Hospital until 2009. “They do not know what it is like when people suffocate because they can no longer breathe and when they die of fear. You are still a dentist and a right-wing extremist. “
