Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Despite concerns, Hamburg wants to adopt the federal-state resolutions to extend the corona lockdown without any compromises.

The red-green Senate will discuss the resolutions on Thursday.

"I am assuming that we will implement these resolutions 1: 1 as before," announced Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD).

In view of the continued high number of infections, the lockdown is to be extended to March 28.

However, depending on the infection situation, there should be many opening options in the countries.

As early as next Monday, the severely limited private contact options are to be relaxed.

"That is one more level of uncertainty," said Tschentscher after the nine-hour deliberations.

"I am sticking to my very skeptical attitude that we do not yet fully recognize the effects of the mutations."

They are still on the rise.

"Here in Hamburg especially the British mutation, stronger than the national average."

Their share in a nationwide sample of almost 25,000 positive cases from last week is around 46 percent, according to a report published on Wednesday by the Robert Koch Institute.

Therefore, the easing, which has now been decided “at the special request of some countries”, requires even more discipline in compliance with the existing measures.

A "relapse" and escalating numbers of infections must be prevented urgently.

"Everyone must know that we are not on the safe shore," said Tschentscher.

With a seven-day incidence of over 80 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, Hamburg is still a long way from possible further easing.

"I think it's wise to watch it for a while longer."

According to the federal-state resolutions, up to five people from two households can meet again from Monday, whereby - unlike in Hamburg so far - children are not counted.

After the hairdressing salons have opened, bookshops, flower shops and garden centers are to follow.

In Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony these are already open - which was criticized in Hamburg.

"We now have to deal with the fact that some countries open earlier and others cannot take the same measures at the same time," said Tschentscher.

That is laid out in the agreed step-by-step concept.

According to this, a distinction should be made between countries with a seven-day incidence of less than 50 and one between 50 and 100.

At the same time, there is an "emergency brake" that provides for a return to the currently applicable measures in the event of a seven-day incidence over 100.

According to the RKI, Schleswig-Holstein had an incidence of less than 50 new infections on Wednesday, Lower Saxony was only slightly higher, but Hamburg was 70. "In northern Germany, we will have to talk very closely with Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony about how we proceed with each other," announced Tschentscher at.
