The number of new corona infections remains at a high level in Hamburg. 231 new cases were registered on Sunday. That is significantly more than last Sunday, when 104 new cases were reported.
349 new infections had been registered on Saturday. On Sundays, the number of reported cases is usually lower than on other days of the week, as fewer tests are carried out on the weekends and not all health authorities share their data.
Seven-day value increased
In the past seven days, 2,145 people in Hamburg have been shown to have been infected with the corona virus – in the week before it was only 1,820.
