Corona Hamburg: Bethesda will probably continue to test in individual cases

There is still uncertainty both in Bergedorf and in all other hospitals as to how the Corona issue will be addressed from April 8th. Because that’s where the last containment regulation falls. “We are still testing our patients, because the current numbers make us sit up and take notice and prove us right,” says Matthias Gerwien, who is also slowly seeing normality in the hospital when dealing with the virus.
