New infections in Jerichower Land: Corona remains the No. 1 topic!

The Corona situation in Saxony-Anhalt remains tense, but the numbers show a positive trend. On October 8, 2025, the Jerichower Land district reported a new infection with the coronavirus. A total of 7 cases were registered last week, giving a 7-day incidence of 7.8 per 100,000 inhabitants. This means that the situation in the district has stabilized; the total number of people who tested positive there is now 41,807. According to news.de, the incidence remains in Saxony-Anhalt at 5.0, slightly below the German average of 4.8.

Overall, the state reported 19 new infections on the same day and still no new deaths, while the total number of positive tests rose to 997,933. There have been 6,849 deaths so far, which corresponds to a mortality rate of 0.686%. 110 new infections were detected last week, a decrease of 12.7% compared to the previous week. This positive development is a ray of hope in the current situation. The last death in Saxony-Anhalt was 26 days ago.

Vaccination rate sets positive accents

The vaccination rate in Saxony-Anhalt also shows encouraging trends. According to the latest figures, 1,624,504 first vaccinations have been administered so far, giving a vaccination rate of 74.3%. In addition to the initial vaccinations, there are already 1,278,022 booster vaccinations, which corresponds to a rate of 58.4%. Around 12.6% of the population even received a second booster. These numbers are also reflected in the total number of doses vaccinated, which amounts to 5.3 million. The vaccines from BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna are particularly popular, accounting for the majority of doses administered, as corona-zahlen-heute.de also notes.

The hospitalization rate for COVID-19 patients in Saxony-Anhalt is 1.46, with 88% of patients over 60 years old. Although the incidence has remained consistently below 100 over the last 1001 days, the actual incidence value could even be higher, according to the experts. The observations make it clear that it remains important to remain vigilant and maintain appropriate protective measures, even though most measures have already been largely expanded since March 1, 2023.

Incidence development and outlook

The current 7-day incidence in Saxony-Anhalt shows that the situation is declining slightly. Nevertheless, the infection rate remains worrying at 45.6%. This makes it all the more important to further increase vaccination rates in order to better protect the population. When it comes to age groups, child cases are particularly badly affected: 37.91% of cases affect 0-4 year olds, while in the 15-34 year old group the numbers are also almost 60%. This shows that Corona remains a serious challenge that requires constant attention.

Overall, it can be said that Saxony-Anhalt is on the right track to containing the corona pandemic. But clear measures and a continued high willingness to vaccinate are essential in order to consolidate the positive development and protect the population as best as possible, emphasizes corona-in-zahlen.de.
