Stuttgart (dpa/lsw) - The Evangelische Heimstiftung expects significant supply bottlenecks in nursing homes and outpatient care in autumn due to the corona pandemic. "We no longer have any reserves to compensate for the many sick leave," said Bernhard Schneider, general manager of the foundation, which is one of the largest nursing home operators in the southwest, on Monday in Stuttgart. A new bloodletting is imminent.
According to the announcement, nobody at the home foundation believes in a forward-looking corona policy anymore. What is needed is a "strong, convincing vaccination campaign, the will to introduce general compulsory vaccination with a vaccination register and a sustainable strategy for a convincing hygiene concept with test offers and mask requirements".
The experts of the Corona Expert Council of the Federal Government expect a significant burden on the health system and the infrastructure that is critical for the population and the state, as can be seen from a statement presented last week.
