On Friday, the Senate will first discuss the consequences of this ongoing development and then announce them.
It has already been announced that the curfew, which has been in place since Good Friday, will initially be lifted.
But doing sports in groups or opportunities for contact between households are also an issue.
When creating a timetable for further action, perspectives for Corona-related closed shops should also be discussed.
The prerequisite for relaxation is that the seven-day incidence falls below 100 for at least five consecutive working days and the infection rate is stable. According to calculations by the Robert Koch Institute, Hamburg has been below the hundred mark for ten days. On Friday, the RKI named an incidence of 78.1 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days. This is still the second lowest value nationwide after Schleswig-Holstein (53.8). For the Senate, however, these numbers are not decisive, it relies on its own calculations.

According to the RKI, 65,500 of them are considered recovered.

Employees in local transport and youth work can now also get a corona vaccination in Hamburg.
The health authority announced on Friday that employees of pharmacies and medical laboratories as well as youth group leaders and volunteers who take part in summer camps for children and adolescents are also entitled in particularly relevant positions.
"Those who drive our buses and trains keep Hamburg moving, but of course they cannot do it from their home office," said Health and Social Senator Melanie Leonhard (SPD).
Employees of youth camps are called to vaccinate in order to make at least some offers possible for children and young people during this difficult time in the summer.
Leonhard had already advertised the preparation on Thursday after the Astrazeneca approval.
“It's a very good vaccine.
It has a very high protective effect.
Take advantage of the.
You protect yourself and others with it.

On Thursday, the federal and state health ministers decided that family doctors could in future inject Astrazeneca regardless of the current priority list.
