Hamburg health department is missing a lot of contact details
At a trendy bar in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel, several employees tested positive for the corona virus. The health authority assumes that some of them have infected hundreds of people as so-called super contagious.
500 guests of the Hamburg bar with bartenders who tested positive for corona are already in quarantine. The health department asks 100 more to report; many have made up addresses and names. The head of the responsible district office is clearly critical.
northAfter the corona outbreak in a bar in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel, authorities assume that around 600 people are affected. 500 people from almost every district in Hamburg who had visited the “Katzen” bar on September 5, 8 or 9 after 7 pm have already been contacted, health authority spokesman Martin Helfrich said on Thursday. Many are already in quarantine. So far, six corona tests have been positive, “including several bar employees.” They are still looking for around 100 bar visitors. According to the information, many had left incorrect contact details.
Last weekend, the health department learned of the first cases of the “cat.” The operator had voluntarily closed the bar in the popular scene and party district, Helfrich said. Apparently, he had anticipated an imminent shutdown by the health department.
“He endangers himself and others”
The responsible district office manager, Stefanie von Berg (Greens), criticized the behavior of the around 100 visitors to the bar who had provided false information on contact sheets. “Anyone who leaves inaccurate or incorrect information during a visit to a restaurant puts themselves and others at risk. With the best will in the world, ‘Darth Vader’ or ‘Lucky Luke’ cannot contact the health department if the phone numbers are wrong, “he wrote on Facebook. These and other fancy names had been found on the scraps of paper.
The number of corona infections recorded in Hamburg increased by 46 cases on Thursday. The crown bud on the “cat” is not yet reflected in the numbers, Helfrich said. An overview of how many of the 600 or so guests in question were actually infected at the bar will likely only be available next week.
Who is the “cat” of the bar? September 5, 8 or 9 from 7pm or at night I visited the next day and have not yet been contacted, I must immediately call the health department on 040 42811 1659, said a spokesman for the social authority. Also, people should voluntarily go into quarantine.
29 corona patients in hospitals
With 17.3 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days, Hamburg is still below the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a week, which could lead to further restrictions if they were reached. On Wednesday the value was 18.8. In hospitals in Hamburg, 29 Covid 19 patients were treated on Thursday, eight of them in intensive care units. The number of people who died from Covid-19 remains unchanged at 238, according to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Eppendorf University Medical Center.
The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) named 268 dead for Hamburg. Background: The Hamburg health authority has carried out an autopsy on all dead corona patients. Based on these autopsies, the Institute of Forensic Medicine counts all cases in which someone has died from Covid 19 disease. The RKI counts all people who have died in connection with a Sars-CoV-2 infection. .
