Dhe seven-day incidence of new corona infections in Hamburg has risen again. The health authority gave the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week on Wednesday at 333.3. On Tuesday the value was 329.8, on Wednesday a week ago it was 355.4. This means that Hamburg is still well above the national average: across Germany, the seven-day incidence on Wednesday was 205.5, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). However, the RKI pointed out that less test and reporting activity can be expected during the holidays and at the turn of the year, so that an incomplete picture could emerge.

The hospitalization rate – i.e. the number of new corona hospital patients per 100,000 inhabitants and week – was given by the RKI on Wednesday as 2.54 (previous day 2.05), nationwide it was 3.18 (previous day 3.25). The value is central to the assessment of the infection process. If the limit values ​​3, 6 and 9 are exceeded, the federal states can impose stricter measures to combat the pandemic.

According to the RKI, 79.1 percent of Hamburgers have been vaccinated at least once; According to this, 76.8 percent have full basic protection with the second injection, which is usually necessary. So far, 31.6 percent of people in Hamburg have received a booster vaccination.
