President of German Hospital Federation: Indications of The Decline in Number of Coronavirus Cases in Germany

The head of the German Hospital Association, Gerald Gass, told the widespread newspaper Bild that the stability of the number of new cases of Covid-19 in Germany raises hopes that the burden will not be increased on intensive care units.

“We are looking for the numbers of new cases to stabilize for about two weeks, so that we get rid of the worry about the huge increase in the number of patients who need intensive care,” Gass added.

Bild said that 5,019 coronavirus patients are currently undergoing treatment in intensive care units across Germany, down from a peak of 5,106 on April 26 amid the third wave of the epidemic in the country.

Gas said the pressure on hospitals and personnel was still too high.

Health officials said on Thursday that vaccinations were continuing

In record numbers that should help the infection subside, but they warn it is too early to feel relief as hospitals remain overcrowded.
