“Critical score exceeded”
“Across the district area we are seeing a dynamic infection process, which is why we have exceeded the critical mark of 35 new corona cases per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days with 137 cases currently,” said District Administrator Burgdorf. Since the slaughterhouse can be clearly identified as a major source of infection, district-level measures can now be dispensed with. In addition to the affected slaughterhouse employees and their family members, an elementary school class and a nursery group are also in quarantine after a child tested positive for Covid-19.
