Several heads of major German cities contradict the statement by Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) that the health authorities are not able to track contacts if the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants is over 50 within seven days.
“You can't say that across the board,” said Cologne's Mayor Henriette Reker (non-party) to WELT AM SONNTAG.
In Cologne, despite values of more than 50, it has been possible for months to contact both those who tested positive and the contact persons "within 24 hours and to issue quarantine orders".
According to Bremen's mayor Andreas Bovenschulte, all contacts can also be tracked in his city, where the incidence is currently 71.2.
Town halls in Munich, Leipzig and Düsseldorf provided similar information.
The general manager of the German Association of Cities, Helmut Dedy, refers to the rapid introduction of IT solutions in large cities: “The solutions there are running smoothly and are already enabling the health authorities in these cities to ensure contact tracking even if the incidence is well over 50.
It is only barely noticed in public. ”However, according to Dedy, not all offices nationwide can act so comprehensively in the case of high incidences.
