So, the minister added:” With the Delta variant, what I have summarized is very probable. Unvaccinated people are very likely to contract Covid. “In short, in his opinion, it is impossible to avoid the disease: either contagion, or death, at least for those who choose to avoid the vaccine.
In the meantime, the health situation in Saxony is very serious, so much so that the time is approaching when triage in the ward will be necessary. This is what the president of the Chamber of doctors said, Erik Bodendieck. “If the situation does not change, we will have to think about who should be treated and who should not. Triage will have to be implemented and we will talk about this this week with my colleagues and my colleagues in the hospitals,” she said.
