The seven-day incidence in Hesse fell again slightly on Monday.

The number of people infected with the coronavirus per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days fell to 28.2 after 28.7 at the lecture.

This comes from the data from the Robert Koch Institute on Monday (as of 3.11 a.m.).

According to the information, 65 new corona infections were registered in Hesse within 24 hours.

The total number increased to 288,323.

The number of people who have died with or from the virus has increased by three to a total of 7,400 deaths since the pandemic began.

The regional incidence was highest in the district of Groß-Gerau with a value of 64.9.

188 Covid-19 patients were treated in the intensive care units of Hessian clinics on Monday (as of 7.19 a.m.).

According to the information, 96 people had to be artificially ventilated.

At the beginning of the new week, changes will also take effect in Hesse, particularly those relating to corona vaccinations.

From this Monday (June 7th) the prioritization for an injection against the virus ends with a fixed sequence.

Then it says: "Anyone who lives in Hesse and does not belong to any prioritization group has the option of registering online or by telephone for the vaccination against the coronavirus in one of the 28 Hessian vaccination centers from June 7, 2021," said the Ministry of the Interior about the innovation With.

Vaccine quantities are insufficient

In many cases, however, it will take until the first injection: “However, those newly registered will usually not be able to receive timely appointment offers due to the still inadequate amounts of vaccine,” the ministry added.

According to this, around 476,000 already registered Hessians are currently waiting for their personal appointment offers.

The reversal of the order preferred by risk groups such as the elderly or people with previous illnesses also applies to vaccinations by general practitioners, specialists or company doctors.

General practitioners and specialist practices have been vaccinating against the corona virus since April, and company doctors can also do this nationwide from Monday.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, up to and including June 4, 44.5 percent of Hessians had received at least the first vaccination, which is almost 2.8 million people.

There are also changes in the school sector: on Monday, for the first time since the lockdown began in autumn, all students in grades 1 to 6 will be able to go to school every day of the week.

After months of distance or alternating lessons, more normalcy is returning to the everyday life of around 360,000 students and their parents, according to the Ministry of Culture.

Everyday school life is accompanied by regular corona self-tests before the start of lessons.

The first thermal baths open again

A touch of normality is also returning to the Hessian bathing and thermal baths landscape. After a compulsory break for months, the first thermal baths have reopened. We are happy that some baths can now receive visitors, said Almut Boller, managing director of the Hessian Spa Association. It is also a challenge to restart the facilities after the lockdown. In addition, a cost-covering operation is far away, because only significantly fewer visitors are allowed to the thermal baths, she said with a view to the pandemic-related access restrictions. “That’s difficult. Nonetheless, it is the task of society as a whole for the spas and health resorts that we make this facility available. "

The Spessart-Therme in Bad Soden-Salmünster has been one of the houses that have opened again since Monday.

"We are just happy that things are starting again now," reported Spa Director Stefan Ziegler.

But it is clear: “It is a restart.

Hopefully this will increase again point by point. "

Swimming pools and thus also thermal baths may open subject to conditions in those regions in which the second corona easing stage of the state of Hesse is in force.

Among other things, a maximum number of visitors and appointments apply.
