Corona hotspot Hamm: “Outbreak has overwhelmed us!” 2500 people in quarantine - outrageous details come to light

Original article from September 25, 2020:

Hamm - The Corona situation * in Hamm (North Rhine-Westphalia) is getting worse.

After a wedding in the district three weeks ago caused a mass outbreak, the situation now does not seem to be contained by measures already taken *.

The 7-day value, which is important for the assessment, climbed to 95.5 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants on Thursday.

This makes Hamm the current hotspot in Germany.

Corona in Hamm in North Rhine-Westphalia: The situation is getting worse - the number of infections continues to rise

While the

Lord Mayor Thomas Hunsteger-Petermann is

angry about the behavior of the wedding party and had already announced that legal steps will be examined, the situation in Hamm is now getting worse.

At least 100 people tested positive for the coronavirus * immediately after the wedding; according to

focus.de,

around 196 people in the district have

now

tested positive.

Among them are almost 40 children, as the dpa had already

reported

on

Thursday

.

As the portal further reports, there are currently 2,500 people in

quarantine

.

“I am angry about this incident.

A single family brought the whole city into this situation and thus puts the coexistence of the different compatriot groups under stress, ”the mayor ventured towards the WAZ.

As the portal further reports, the trigger was a henna festival on the eve of the wedding.

Two women were infected

, but 44 other women were guests

at the

henna festival

.

The next day the

big wedding

took place

with around 309 participants.

Corona in Germany: Wedding causes over 100 infected people - but how many are still tested positive?

According to the

picture,

it is now being checked who

can be held

accountable

.

This could affect the bride and groom or the operator of the location, among other things.

Opposite the portal, Mayor Hunsteger-Petermann confirms once again: “This outbreak overwhelmed us and it also makes me angry.

Because at the henna festival, the

minimum distances are

guaranteed not to be observed. "He told Spiegel that following up the contacts was so difficult because the wedding was celebrated three weeks ago.

Corona in Germany: Employees are apparently trying in vain to check contacts

But another point that would make tracking difficult is the incompleteness of the

contact lists

.

City spokesman Tom Herberg told the Westfälischer Anzeiger: "Contact and attendance lists sometimes did not match".

The employees of the authority would therefore experience little willingness to help from those affected.

As the newspaper further reports, the relatives are even said to be "solidly bricked up".

How many people

were infected

by the wedding and the previous

party

must now be checked further.

As a further consequence, the city of Hamm is now banning the first family celebrations.

Following a general decree from the city, two hen parties and one engagement party have already been prohibited.

Accordingly, private celebrations with 51 to 150 participants must be approved, celebrations with 25 to 50 participants must be reported, as reported by

rp-online

.

Accordingly, around 70 applications should have been received by the city by Thursday.

But what is currently still allowed and what is not?

These questions are answered in an overview from wa.de *.

In order to finally be able to stop the corona pandemic *, experts worldwide are researching a suitable vaccine *.

Researchers in the UK want to deliberately infect around 2,000 people with the virus for this reason.
