These cities are new corona hot spots
More and more cities are exceeding the crown limit. While Bavarian Prime Minister Söder calls for uniform sanctions for those who refuse to wear a mask across the country, Saxon Prime Minister Kretschmer warns against overly harsh criticism of Berlin’s crown policy.
North Rhine-Westphalia has had the highest infection rates of all the German territorial states for days. Meanwhile, Essen, Solingen and the Unna district also exceed the warning value of 50. The state government meets for a special session.
meIn North Rhine-Westphalia, a total of nine independent districts and cities exceeded the important corona warning level of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days on Sunday. From this value, a region is considered a corona risk area. Nationwide, 34.1 people per 100,000 inhabitants were infected with the virus in seven days, as announced by the North Rhine-Westphalia health center, 1.7 more than the previous day. For days, NRW has had the highest infection rates of all the German territorial states.
The state government will hold a special session on Sunday to discuss the situation in the corona epidemic. In the afternoon, Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) wants to report on the next steps.
In addition to the city of Essen, the district of Unna and the city of Solingen also passed the important threshold of 50. Remscheid, on the other hand, came off the list of corona risk areas with a value of 44.0.
The leader in North Rhine-Westphalia was the city of Herne on Sunday with 86.3 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days, which was the third highest value of the 412 independent districts and cities across the country. Hagen (71.0), Wuppertal (60.5) and Cologne (59.7) were also well above the important threshold of 50. In the city of Hamm, which for several weeks had the highest levels of new infections of across all districts and urban districts across the country, the values fell even more markedly to 58.9. It was followed by Essen (57.3), the Recklinghausen district (56.8), the Unna district (54.2) and the city of Solingen (51.5).
Exceeding the 50 mark has an impact on tourists, for example, who now have to submit a negative corona test in various German holiday regions during the fall holidays. In addition, regions are obliged to impose more restrictions on public life above this value.
Of the total 53 districts and cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, ten more have exceeded the so-called early warning level of 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days. These include large cities such as the state capital, Düsseldorf (45.3), Duisburg (44.9) and Dortmund (36.2).
