Brandenburg wants to ask other countries for help because of an impending corona-related bottleneck in hospitals.
The number of new infections has risen to a record value of 1021, said Health Minister Ursula Nonnemacher (Greens) on Thursday in the responsible state parliament committee in Potsdam.
Some district administrators in the south of Brandenburg are about to declare a disaster.
She asked Berlin's Senator for Health Dilek Kalayci (SPD) to take over 50 Covid-19 patients from Brandenburg in the emergency hospital on the exhibition grounds who would not have to be treated in the intensive care unit.
When the emergency clinic will open is unclear.
In addition, Brandenburg will probably ask Saxony-Anhalt for bed capacity for patients.
Saxony is out of the question because the situation there is catastrophic.
