Rostock (dpa/mv) - The seven-day incidence of new corona infections has fallen further in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The number of new infections reported in one week per 100,000 inhabitants was 220.2 on Wednesday after 228.0 the day before and 285.6 a week ago, according to the State Office for Health and Social Affairs (Lagus).
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the nationwide incidence in the morning as 281.8. However, it does not provide a complete picture of the development of the infection, also because the official reporting data depends on the testing behavior of the population.
Six more deaths linked to coronavirus infection have been reported in the Northeast. Their total number has risen to 2231 since the beginning of the pandemic.
The state office recorded 580 new infections within 24 hours. A week ago there were 683. In the country's clinics, 185 patients infected with corona were treated on Wednesday, two fewer than on Tuesday. There were 14 patients in the intensive care units, three fewer than the day before. The hospitalization incidence, i.e. the number of new corona patients admitted to hospitals per 100,000 inhabitants within a week, was given by the state office on Wednesday at 1.0 - a slight increase of 0.1 compared to Tuesday.
