Chief of the cantonal doctor: ‘There are no indications of massive overload’

The top canton needle doctor Rudolf Hauri does not see the peak of the Corona autumn wave being reached yet. Yet the health system is not currently in acute danger.

“There is currently no evidence of massive overload,” Hauri said in an interview published Wednesday. Because of Corona, according to Hauri, it should no longer be as busy in intensive care as it used to be. “I am more concerned that a stronger flu wave is expected this year in addition to an increase in the number of corona cases.”

Pressure on the health system, which is currently still high due to a lack of staff, is therefore likely to increase.

“The pandemic is certainly not over yet.”

It’s too early to make anything clear about the pandemic front, Hauri said. “The pandemic is certainly not over yet.”

Whether the current situation is an actual decline in numbers or just an intermediate plateau will only become clear in about two weeks. “The still high positivity rate also points to a high number of unreported cases. In real terms, there’s a good chance that five to six times more people will be infected with the coronavirus than has been officially confirmed – that’s more than 20,000 people a day. »

After all: Hauri doesn’t believe that there will be another virus mutation that turns out to be a “game changer” and throws everything overboard. The population has now learned to deal with the virus. The virus will keep us busy for a while. “But I expect it to lose its importance in everyday life tremendously over the course of 2023.” (sda)
