Contrary to the national trend, Coronavirus infection numbers are down in Berlin.
Fewer intensive care beds occupied by Covid patients
However, experts assume that a high number of cases are not recorded in the official data, with reasons being the capacity of health offices and the fact that many infections are no longer confirmed via a PCR test. However, the proportion of ICU beds occupied by patients with a Covid-19 infection is also declining in Berlin. On Monday, it was 10.2 percent, down from 11.4 percent a week ago and 13 percent two weeks ago.
