According to new figures from the national clinical quality program (RKKP), very few of the people hospitalised with COVID-19 end up in the nation’s intensive wards.

The figures showed that only  1 percent of 10,000 corona-related hospitalisations last month ended up requiring intensive treatment.

In comparison, 6 percent of corona hospital patients needed intensive care treatment in November and December.
