The almost 3,000 delta cases were clearly exceeded by almost 4,400 omicron cases. According to the Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), the highest seven-day incidences in the period from December 27 to January 2 were found in 15 to 24-year-olds with 459.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by 25 to 34 -Year-olds with 411.7.
Values in children decreased
The Christmas holidays were noticeable among the toddlers and school-age children. As a result of the closed educational establishments, the incidence among six to 14 year olds was 198.0 and among those under six it was 116.9. The 35 to 44 year olds (331.1) and the 45 to 54 year olds (251.5) were affected much more severely.
Seniors largely spared
So far, the Omikron variant has hardly “caught” the seniors. For the 65 to 74 year olds a seven-day incidence of 98.4 was reported in the previous week, the 75 to 84 year olds came to 65.5 and those over 85 year olds to 67.9.
