Corona situation in the district: zero new infections and full intensive care beds!

On June 23, 2025, the Corona situation in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district is as calm as a sleepy village on Sunday morning. According to current figures from news.de There were no new infections compared to the previous day, which brings the 7-day incidence to a remarkable 0.0 per 100,000 inhabitants. A total of 54,088 positive tests have been registered so far. With a population of about 120,000 people, the county's infection rate of 45.01% is remarkably low.

The entire Corona situation in Hesse shows similar trends: Here too, new infections remain stable at 0, and the 7-day incidence is 0.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. In total, more than 2.9 million positive cases have been recorded in Hesse, but most people appear to be gradually recovering.

Intensive care beds in the district

The healthcare system in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district can breathe a sigh of relief: of the 27 available intensive care beds, 12 are currently occupied, although fortunately none of the patients are suffering from COVID-19. This means that 15 beds are ready in case an unexpected wave of COVID-19 patients occurs. The Numbers from corona-in-zahlen.de show that no COVID-19 patient is receiving intensive care treatment in the entire region.

The overall occupancy rate is 54%, which shows that capacity can be quickly increased again if necessary. This gives both the employees in the clinics and the citizens a good feeling.

The new variant Nimbus

A look into the future shows that the new Corona variant Nimbus, which has been observed since January 2025, remains under the radar. The WHO has classified it as a “variant under observation”, but so far there is no evidence of more severe disease progression. This could provide further cause for hope, especially considering that vaccination rates in the country are also favorable.

The vaccination rate in Germany is 76.3% for people with basic immunization and 77.9% for at least one vaccination. The distribution of these vaccinations shows that Biontech and Moderna in particular are very popular, which could ensure the long-term health of the population.

Overall balance and outlook

Overall, it appears that the situation in the region and also in Germany appears to be largely stable. With 39,061,510 infected people since the beginning of the pandemic and a mortality rate of 0.43%, one can look forward to the coming months with optimism. Everyday life is increasingly returning to its usual routine, and people in Hersfeld-Rotenburg and far beyond are breathing a sigh of relief.

However, health authorities remain warned and are closely monitoring how the situation develops. A look at the occupancy of intensive care units in Germany, queried via Statista, sheds light on the nationwide situation and shows that flexibility and willingness to adapt are still required. But at the moment: everything is quiet in the Hersfeld-Rotenburg district!
