Munich (dpa / lby) - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has pointed out the serious consequences of the currently high number of infections in the corona pandemic.
"The hospitals are full," said Söder, the first clinics were sending emergency signals.
If the current number of 83 deaths per day continues until Christmas, 2500 people would die in Bavaria alone by then.
"This is a difficult fate for the people," said Söder.
Söder described the currently applicable partial lockdown as a partial success. Tougher measures would lead to faster discharge, said the Prime Minister on Thursday in Munich after a meeting of his cabinet. The level of infection is currently the highest in the entire pandemic to date. "We are experiencing a very heavy burden, even though we have more intensive care beds," said Söder, referring to the situation in the healthcare system.
