Torgelow (dpa / mv) - The city of Torgelow (Vorpommern-Greifswald) is currently without top management due to a corona infection of its mayor Kerstin Pukallus.
As a spokeswoman for the city said on Monday, the 57-year-old, non-party administration chief has been in quarantine since Friday after a positive test.
It is unclear where the mayor, who in the past had strictly observed distances and hygiene rules, got the virus from.
Since she has no symptoms that make a hospital stay necessary, she can be reached at home for arrangements.
The Neubrandenburg “Nordkurier” had previously reported on it.
As a result, the chamberlain as 1st deputy and other executives were also sent into quarantine.
For the time being, administrative operations could be secured to a limited extent, said the spokeswoman.
The mayor's quarantine should end on November 29 at the earliest.

Torgelow is located in the south of Western Pomerania on the Uecker and is mainly known for the military units stationed there and for the iron foundry, which Pukallus has campaigned for on several occasions.
