In Hamburg, the number of new corona infections has decreased further compared to the week.

Although there were 400 newly detected cases on Wednesday, as the health authority announced.

That is 173 more than on Tuesday, but 79 less than on Wednesday a week ago.

The seven-day incidence, i.e. the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, fell from 134.4 to 130.3.

A week ago it was 150.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the incidence for Hamburg on a different calculation basis as 112.8.

This is the second lowest value in a state comparison after Schleswig-Holstein (71.9).

According to the RKI, the number of people who died of or in connection with Corona in Hamburg increased by 4 to 1,438 (as of Tuesday).

According to the health authority, 69,148 Hamburgers have been proven to have been infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the outbreak of the pandemic;

According to the health authorities, 308 Covid 19 patients were treated in Hamburg's hospitals as of Tuesday, 3 fewer than the day before.

Of these, 120 were treated in intensive care units, 9 more than on Monday.

That was a new high - the previous one was 117 on January 4, according to the health authorities. In the first wave last year, it had reached 107 on April 10.

According to the RKI, 496,622 vaccine doses were administered in Hamburg up to and including Tuesday.

Accordingly, 388,754 people received a first and 107,868 a second vaccination.

Hamburg wants to agree to the Corona emergency brake, but maintain stricter rules

While the Bundestag votes on the new Infection Protection Act on Wednesday, Hamburg will most likely approve the nationwide Corona emergency brake in the Bundesrat on Thursday.

At the same time, the city will stick to its own stricter regulations, said Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) on Tuesday during a visit to a company for medical laboratory diagnostics.

“We will adapt to the Infection Protection Act, where there are additional restrictions.

But we will not loosen our measures now, because we are now in a situation in which the number of infections is no longer increasing - and we will not question that by careless loosening. "

If the draft for the new version of the Infection Protection Act, on which the parliamentary groups of the CDU and SPD have agreed, does not change in the deliberations of the Bundestag on Wednesday, "you can endorse it in the end," said Tschentscher.

Nevertheless, he regrets that there are plans to relax such as “Click & Meet” shopping, even with an incidence of over 100.

“This is a concept from Bavaria that I don't think is right.

But overall it is important to now have an emergency brake regulation for the whole of Germany, which is then also binding. "

Hamburg had already pulled the emergency brake before Easter.

A night exit restriction has been in place since Good Friday.

The seven-day corona incidence has fallen continuously since then.
