Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – The number of Covid 19 sufferers in the intensive care units in Baden-Württemberg clinics has risen again. There were 108 patients there, as the state health department in Stuttgart announced on Thursday (as of 4 p.m.). A week earlier it was 89. The number of people infected in the normal wards rose from 794 to 889 in the same period. The number of registered deaths related to the virus rose to 16,344. That’s twelve more than a week ago.
The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in the southwest was 564.4. In the previous week, the value was 486.7. However, the incidence does not provide a complete picture of the infection situation: For some time now, experts have been assuming that there is a high number of cases not recorded by the RKI, mainly because by far not all infected people have a PCR test done. Only positive PCR tests count in the statistics. In addition, late registrations or transmission problems can lead to a distortion of individual daily values.
