Hospitalization incidence is 7.3 – easings in western MV
The incidence value of corona patients who were brought to a clinic for treatment within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants is 7.3 (-0.6). As the state government announced on Sunday, the corona protective measures of the “orange” level will apply from Monday (January 3rd) because the hop hospitalization incidence nationwide was below 9 for five days in a row. Therefore, in regions that are not classified higher than “orange” – currently these are Ludwigslust-Parchim, Northwest Mecklenburg and Schwerin – some easing takes effect.
According to figures from the LAGuS and the Ministry of Health, 305 (+1) people across the country are currently being treated for Covid-19 in a hospital; according to LAGuS, 87 (-2) are in an intensive care unit. According to the intensive care register (as of Sunday 4:05 p.m.), 46 (+2) patients are being ventilated invasively.

Hospitalization incidence highest in the Mecklenburg Lake District
The Mecklenburg Lake District has the highest incidence of hospitalization at 13.6. This is followed by the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald with 11.0, the district of Rostock with 7.8 and the district of Vorpommern-Rügen with 6.7. Schwerin reports 5.2, the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim 4.2, the district of Northwest Mecklenburg 3.8 and the Hanseatic city of Rostock 2.4. The seven-day incidence of new infections is only a secondary criterion for determining the corona protective measures in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It rises to 277.0 (+13.2). The district of Vorpommern-Greifswald has the highest incidence of new infections with 335.9, Schwerin has the lowest with 167.3. The LAGuS no longer shows the incidence separated into vaccinated and unvaccinated persons, because data that are transmitted late would result in “incomplete presentations”. In addition, the LAGuS made further changes to the management report and the tier map.

Almost 40 percent of all North Germans were boosted by the end of 2021. The number of weekly first vaccinations more than doubled in mid-November, but has stagnated at a comparatively low level since then. The NDR shows every week how the speed of first, second and booster vaccinations is developing in the northern German federal states.
