Sömmerda in Corona luck: No new infections reported!

On September 16, 2025, there is encouraging news from the Sömmerda district, Thuringia regarding the COVID-19 situation. No new coronavirus infections were reported today. The last seven days also remained without new cases, resulting in a 7-day incidence of 0.0 per 100,000 inhabitants [news.de]. A total of 28,262 people in the district have tested positive since the beginning of the pandemic.

Another bright spot is the situation in the district's intensive care beds: As of September 15, 2025, out of a total of 8 available beds, only 3 were occupied and there were no COVID patients in the intensive care unit. This provides some relief for the health system, which was under heavy strain in times past.
