2:25 pm | Greater controls announced in the Ore Mountains
For next weekend, district administrator Frank Vogel has announced that he will focus on controls to ensure compliance with Corona regulations in the Erzgebirge district. The police, law enforcement offices, and federal police must verify hygiene rules, the mask requirement, and regulations in restaurants and religious institutions. “We are not allowed to give up and we will not,” Vogel said on the question of whether the health department can follow up on contacts. Around 2,5000 contact persons should be tracked every day. That is not manageable on a daily basis, despite the help of the Bundeswehr and other offices. “In a way, we are pushing a mountain of tasks ahead,” Vogel said.
District Administrator Vogel is concerned about the doubling of the number of seriously ill Covid 19 patients in the district’s intensive care units. “If the numbers continue to double each week, we will soon reach our limits.”
2:02 pm | The incidence value in Erzgebirge has fallen slightly
In the Erzgebirge district, the so-called incidence value has been slightly reduced. The number of new infections per 100,000 residents in a week is 188.1 as of Wednesday, according to the district office. District administrator Frank Vogel said Wednesday afternoon that the value had fallen by more than 190 in recent days. “This is progress, the value has not increased any further. We have stabilized at a very high level,” Vogel said.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, 2,518 people in Erzgebirgskreis have been shown to be infected with coronavirus. 73 deaths related to Covid-19 were recorded. According to the District Office, the average age of those affected is 52 years. The age group most affected at this time are those between 41 and 60 years old. According to the district administration, this is the age group that is most mobile in everyday life.
Frank Reissmann, Head of the Department of Order and Social Affairs at the District Office, found that most corona infections are mild. Many Erzgebirge reacted in surprise when they received the Covid-19 result because they had not noticed any symptoms beforehand. “On the one hand that is good, but on the other hand it is also difficult because they do not realize that they are distributing the virus,” Reissmann said.
