It’s not easy to reach Georg Goutrie on the pone. But between two night shifts and an early morning shift, the 21-year-old nurse finds a moment to answer, reported DW. “What day is it? Sunday, right?” he asks with a laugh. Goutrie’s three-year training to become a nurse began right in the middle of the pandemic. At his current post, Goutrie will likely be spared a similar crisis situation like he has lived before. “My ward now can’t be closed.” For the time being all patients are being handled as though they were positive Covid 19 cases: in isolation until they get a negative PCR test result. Case numbers are rising even in summer and the health system is already approaching its limits, according to the Marburger Bund doctors’ association. While in early June the 7-day incidence rate was the lowest it had been all year, numbers have since spiked rapidly, reported DW.
One explanation is the new BA.5 virus subvariant. Even more contagious than previous variants, experts say that it could spread rapidly well into summer. Those who have been vaccinated or already recovered from an omicron variant infection aren’t safe. Two-thirds of Covid infections are now attributable to the BA.5 subvariant. The spread has been facilitated, as authorities have relaxed prevention measures. People in Germany are no longer subject to contact restrictions or mask requirements in most public spaces. Many are also traveling and attending events once again, as reported by DW.
