At the end of January it was clear that the British corona mutation had established itself in Flensburg. "More and more patients" have come, reports clinic director Klaus Deitmaring, "and above all: significantly younger patients with extremely difficult courses". After he had warned that the care of corona patients could no longer be guaranteed if the number of infections continued to rise, Mayor Simone Lange (SPD) took "drastic measures". Even chatting with neighbors is no longer compliant. For some this means: complete isolation.
