In the model municipality of Tübingen, with easing and mass tests, the number of corona cases also rose sharply on Wednesday.

According to the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Health, the seven-day incidence in the city increased to 89.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and within a week.

The previous day the value was 78.7.

Since last Friday, the incidence in the city of Tübingen has more than doubled.

For comparison: on March 18, it was 19.7.

First the "Schwäbisches Tagblatt" reported on the new value.

The nationwide seven-day incidence of new corona infections also increased: on Wednesday (as of 4 p.m.) it reached a value of 129.8 infections, as the State Health Office announced.

In view of the steadily increasing number of infections, a continuation of the model project until mid-April is open.

"Should Tübingen continue to have increasing incidences and steadily approach 100 or even exceed this mark per 100,000 inhabitants, it must be examined to what extent the project has to be suspended," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Stuttgart on Wednesday.

Against this background and also due to the increasing number of infections in the middle of the third wave of pandemics, the ministry is currently not thinking of designating further model projects.
