ODENWALDKREIS – The health department of the Odenwald district, which is particularly badly affected by the corona pandemic in Hesse, continues to achieve test results that confirm the suspicion of COVID 19 for patients already being treated. However, the authority can also lead an increasing number of those affected to be removed In contrast, as of Wednesday afternoon, the infection was fatal for 16 infected people, one more than the previous day. Older and health-impair people have died almost without exception, most of them from the three old people’s homes and nursing homes where the virus has taken root.
This regional progression of the corona pandemic can be derived from the latest bulletins that the district office and the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs issue daily. The district administration focuses on local development, while the state government also provides comparative values. However, due to compliance with the reporting sequence, their information is usually somewhat behind in terms of topicality.
According to the district’s most recent assessment, 161 women and men tested positive for the Sars-CoV-2 virus in the Odenwald district on Wednesday, 23 more than the previous day. Six more of them, 42 in total, remained symptom-free or remove By Thursday noon, 157 case reports had been registering the country. In the statistics of the last seven days, which the Ministry of Social Affairs has also been keeping for a week and uses the basis for determining the infection rate per 100,000 inhabitants (“incidence”), the number came to 59 infected persons, which is after the 68 from the previous day had decreased for the first time in the recent past. The incidence fell from 70 to 61 but remained significantly above the national average of 19.
