Rostock (dpa / mv) - The number of corona infections has skyrocketed a few days after Easter in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The State Office for Health and Social Affairs (Lagus) in Rostock reported 433 detected new infections on Wednesday after 436 the day before.
A week ago, 303 new infections were reported.
The state office also reported eleven deaths in connection with a Covid 19 infection, bringing the total number of fatalities in the pandemic to 897.
For the first time in several weeks, the number of newly reported deaths was in double digits again.
With reference to the reduced number of corona tests over Easter, doctors had predicted the significant increase in detected infections after the holidays.
Daily values of more than 400 new infections had already been reported in isolated cases in December and January.
The third corona wave has arrived in the hospitals: The state office reported 299 Covid patients in the clinics on Thursday, 26 more than a week ago.
There were 82 corona patients in the intensive care units, 9 more than a week ago.
A month ago, on March 8, 255 corona patients were in the clinics, 47 of whom were treated in intensive care units.
