Schwerin/Rostock (dpa/mv) – For Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania there is no all-clear in the current flu wave. “We have to assume that the peak has not yet been reached and that the proportion of staff shortages will remain high,” said Health Minister Stefanie Drese (SPD) on Thursday in Schwerin. She referred to the latest data from the State Office for Health and Social Affairs. According to this, 2670 new flu infections were reported to the office in the week from December 5th to 11th. The week before it was 1412.
Since the beginning of this year’s surveys in early October, the number of registered flu cases in the country has totaled 5,133. According to the health department in the north-east, only 8 cases were reported in the entire previous season.
