The number of new corona infections confirmed in Hamburg rose by 237 on Monday.
The important warning value - the number of infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the past seven days - increased from 130.6 to 133.4 compared to Sunday, as the health authority announced (as of 11:58 a.m.).
On Sunday, the number of registered new corona infections rose by 172.
On Monday a week ago, the authority had reported 185 new infections.
As a spokesman for the welfare agency WELT said, it can be seen that the measures imposed are taking effect and the number of new infections is falling.
But this is not enough.
Because if you compare the number with the infections from four weeks ago, Hamburg recorded significantly more new infections with the corona virus.
In addition, the authority expects the number of infections to fluctuate in the coming days.
The burden on the health authorities is still extremely high, even if it was possible to trace back around a quarter of the cases registered over the weekend.
In addition to the significant reduction in contacts between citizens, improved technology, more staff and the newly created central facility for contact tracking in Wandsbek contributed to this success.
