Leipzig (dpa / sn) - The head of intensive medicine at the University Hospital (UKL) Leipzig, Sebastian Stehr, considers the corona situation in Saxony to be worrying.
Of the ten districts with the highest incidence nationwide, four are in Saxony.
From an intensive care point of view, this is like seeing a storm approaching the horizon, said the doctor.
Currently, 20 corona patients are being treated in the intensive care unit at the UKL.
In the first wave in spring it was significantly less.
The lockdown light, which has been in effect since the beginning of November, is not yet reflected in the figures in intensive care medicine.
Only a tightening would probably be what would bring a visible effect, said Stehr.
According to the Ministry of Health, the number of new corona infections in Saxony "continues to increase very sharply".
According to an overview by the Robert Koch Institute, the Free State currently has the highest incidence of all territorial states.
Only Berlin has an even higher number of new cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the past seven days.
