Hamburg (dpa / lno) – After 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 visited the “Katzen” bar on September 5, 8 or 9 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.
Everyone who is classified as the so-called “contact person one” must be quarantined for two weeks. Since the infected waitresses were working in the bar, these were all the guests who entered the interior of the “cat” on the days in question after 7 pm “I guess most of them are classified as contact persons and have to go into quarantine, “Helfrich said.
The health department only requests a crown test when symptoms occur. The quarantine cannot end prematurely with a negative test, as is the case with travelers returning from risk areas.
