- Although Lower Saxony’s isolation order expires at the end of January and the mask requirement on public transport ends in early February, the hospitals are initially leaving their rules unchanged.
- Patients with COVID-19, RSV or influenza are still to be isolated at the hospitals in Aurich, Norden, Emden, Leer and Wittmund, while Stephan Rogosik describes the measures for COVID-19 and RSV patients as similar.
- According to Tina Schmidt, staff at Leer Hospital continue to perform self-tests at least twice a week, while Rogosik says stricter visitor rules and an FFP2 mask requirement for external visitors will initially remain in place until at least 7 April 2023.
- The hospitals operated by the carrier were treating 32 COVID-19 patients on 13 January, after the daily peak had reached 70 in December; two patients were in intensive care in Aurich district, one in Emden was invasively ventilated, and none were in intensive care in Leer or Wittmund.
The illness continues to pose a challenge to the health care system. Even though the general level of immunity suggests a transition to an endemic state, the virus is no less dangerous and the burden on the clinics remains high. Very sick patients are still being admitted and treated.— Annika Weigelt, spokesperson for the hospital trust running clinics in Aurich, Norden and Emden
