According to the Delmenhorst health department, the value had risen to 89.0 on Friday. From Friday to Saturday, 23 new corona cases were registered.

Health Department: The situation is tense
A rapid decline in the number of infections in Delmenhorst is apparently not to be expected. Helge Schumann, head of the health department, refers to the development of the last days. Consequently, it currently assumes that the high number of cases will continue in the coming days. The situation is very tense, said Schumann. According to the city, the infections have spread within families. Otherwise, there are no connections between infected people when tracking contacts. Schumann suspects that the increase will also increase due to infections from outside the city. Delmenhorst is not a Gallic village, with neighboring Bremen and the Wesermarsch district there is “a diverse exchange”. Delmenhorst Mayor Axel Jahnz (SPD) had previously announced that each lead would be monitored and investigated with great care taken to the health department.

The city of Delmenhorst calls on the population to abide by the contact restrictions and Corona rules and refers to “strict controls” by the city and the police.
