Further information about the infection
So far, 27 viral mutations have been typed, which means the detection of an altered variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 6 British and 5 South African mutations have currently been identified in Jena by the more lengthy sequencing.
Since the beginning of the year, a total of 18 facilities/groups have been affected by quarantine measures in emergency care status in schools and day-care centres due to one positive case in each of the facilities. Approximately half of the cases were distributed among pupils and half among pedagogical staff.
Infections in the professional environment also occur again and again. The spread of the virus is very often due to breaks spent together. In this context, the Health Department appeals to all employees to observe contact limits and distance regulations in their working environment.
As of the end of this week, vaccinations have been carried out in 12 of 13 Jena nursing homes by the mobile vaccination team of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. The second vaccinations are running according to plan in the facilities.
