The number of deaths stands at 2,020, while the number of recovered cases rises to 471,617. Currently, 6,241 people are considered actively infected.
Currently, 279 people infected with the virus are being treated as inpatients – 18 of them in intensive care (as of 01/03/2023).
In calendar week 52, 4,596 PCR tests were analyzed in Saarland laboratories. The proportion of positive laboratory cases was 36.81%.
Important Information:
When transmitting cases from the health authorities via the responsible state authorities to the RKI, there is a reporting and transmission delay of several days, both for the raw case numbers and for the 7-day incidence rates. The differences also arise from different collection times and various transmission routes. COVID-19 cases that meet the RKI case definition must be electronically transmitted by the responsible health authority to the responsible state authority no later than the next working day, and anonymized transmission to the RKI must be done by the State Competence Center for Infection Epidemiology (LKI) no later than the next working day.
The basis for the RKI case numbers are the reports from the health authorities up to midnight of the previous day. The basis for the MASFG case numbers are the reports up to 4 p.m. of the previous day. All transmitted figures represent current and preliminary data. Changes are subject to change.
In particular, during and after the Christmas holidays, a certain degree of inaccuracy in the reported case numbers is to be expected, as there may be increased delays in reporting. Additionally, the Regional Association of Saarbrücken is undergoing a technical software transition, so reporting delays or inaccuracies are also to be expected for the duration of the transition.
Behavioral note:
The pandemic is not over yet. Measures such as maintaining distance, observing hygiene, wearing masks in everyday life, and regular ventilation can still help to improve the infection situation. Celebrations should, if possible, take place on a small scale to avoid further outbreaks.
The Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Women and Health wishes all citizens a good start to the new year and asks for continued responsible behaviour.
