The seven-day incidence of new corona infections in Hamburg fell to 86.7 on Saturday.
This was the fourth day in a row below the important mark of 100. The health authority gave the number of new infections on Saturday at 206, after 292 the previous day and 312 a week ago.
The seven-day incidence a week ago was 106.7.
Using a different calculation basis, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has determined a value of less than 100 for Hamburg for eleven days. On Saturday, the RKI stated an incidence of 78 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days.
This is still the second lowest value in Germany after Schleswig-Holstein (52).
According to the health authority, the number of people who have died of or in connection with Corona in Hamburg since the beginning of the pandemic rose by two to 1517. In the Hamburg clinics, 206 Covid-19 patients were treated (as of Friday) - 22 fewer than on Thursday .
The number of patients in intensive care units fell by six to 82.

According to the health authority, 73,836 hamburgers have been shown to have been infected with Sars-CoV-2 since the outbreak of the pandemic. 65,900 of them are said to have recovered. According to the RKI, 594,505 people in Hamburg were vaccinated at least once and 150,464 residents were fully vaccinated up to and including Friday. In terms of vaccination rates, Hamburg, with 32.2 percent of the population for first vaccinations and 8.1 percent for second vaccinations, is somewhat below the national average.
After months of partly tough corona restrictions, Hamburg's red-green Senate wants to loosen the reins. The nightly exit restrictions that have been in effect for five weeks in Hamburg between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. should fall on Wednesday (May 12) if the seven-day incidence of new corona infections on five working days remains below 100 and the infection situation remains stable, as Mayor Peter says Tschentscher (SPD) said on Friday after a special session of the Senate.
