Magdeburg (dpa/sa) – In Saxony-Anhalt, the existing corona rules will be extended – so the people will remain with the previous measures. Medical mouth and nose protection must still be worn in local public transport, as Health Minister Petra Grimm-Benne (SPD) announced on Tuesday in Magdeburg. The Corona Containment Ordinance is now valid until November 26th.
The Robert Koch Institute gave the incidence for Saxony-Anhalt on Tuesday as 617.3 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and seven days. At the end of September, the value was still 303.8. The number of unreported cases is likely to be much higher. Experts have been assuming for some time that there has been a high number of unrecorded cases – mainly because not all infected people have a PCR test done. In addition, late registrations or transmission problems can lead to a distortion of the values.
