There is a new access point for the crown in western Germany: the 182,000-population town of Hamm in North Rhine-Westphalia currently has 87.1 new people infected per 100,000 residents in seven days. The highest value in Germany!
On Monday, Hamm Mayor Thomas Hunsteger-Petermann (CDU) hoped to be able to bypass the contact restrictions. On Tuesday he announced exactly this due to the explosive rise of the crown: As of Wednesday, only five people or members of two households will be able to gather in public space.
Additionally, a mask requirement applies to all high schools for two weeks, for teachers and students in class if the minimum distance cannot be structurally maintained.
The restrictions, especially for private events and fines from 2000 euros for infractions, were already decided on Monday. The city was hit “in full trouble” by a second corona wave, Mayor Hunsteger-Petermann said.
According to him, the trigger was a big wedding. The 263 guests were quarantined a few days ago; at least 86 people were infected.
