The corona incidence in Cologne is increasing again.

A district in Cologne almost cracks the 1500: Libur is 1429.8.

There is a simple explanation for this.

Cologne – Cologne and North Rhine-Westphalia have had summer holidays since the end of June.

But the corona virus is still not taking a break.

Rather, the incidence in Cologne is increasing.

The value is currently 656.2 (source: RKI, as of July 4, 2022).

After the party weekend with Summerjam 2022, CSD 2022 and Iron Maiden in the RheinEnergie Stadium, the incidence could continue to rise.

However, in some parts of the city, the incidence value is already significantly higher than 656.2.

One district in particular in the Cologne-Porz district is currently considered the front runner in the Corona virus, reports 24RHEIN.

Cologne: Incidence in Libur at almost 1500 - why is that so?

We're talking about Libur.

The incidence here is currently 1429.8.

(Source: City of Cologne, as of June 29).

As early as September 2021, the district was the incidence frontrunner.

Now Libur even breaks the value of 983 at that time. But why is the incidence in Libur so much higher than in the rest of Cologne?

A possible explanation: Libur is the district with the smallest number of inhabitants and the lowest population density within Cologne.

And the smaller the population, the faster the incidence can skyrocket, even if there are only a few corona cases.

Despite the high incidence value, there are currently only a few people who are actually corona positive.

In Libur, 19 people (official value) are currently in quarantine due to a positive corona test.

However, since the district has only 1119 residents, the incidence value for Libur is still 1429.8.

Libur: Cologne's southernmost district

► Libur is the southernmost part of Cologne.

It belongs to the district of Porz.

► Libur is the district with the smallest number of inhabitants and the lowest population density within Cologne.

1119 people live here.

The population density is 175 people per square kilometer.

The Cologne average is 2675.

► Half-timbered and brick houses characterize the cityscape.

► The name Libur probably comes from the Old High German words "lê" for burial mound and "bûr" for house or apartment.

Libur therefore means something like "dwelling place on the burial mound".

Even today there are two cemeteries in Libur.

Corona in Cologne: Incidence between 411 and 1429 - Libur and Meschenich

But what is the incidence in other parts of Cologne?

There are sometimes large fluctuations between the values.

Libur has the highest incidence with 1429.8.

The lowest incidence value is currently in Meschenich (district: Cologne-Rodenkirchen).

Here the incidence is 411.3.

Of the 8,024 residents, 56 are currently in quarantine with a positive corona test.

But be careful: The values ​​are the official values.

The dark number can look quite different.

Because not all corona diseases are noticed.

In addition, many people test positive with a self-test and do not carry out an additional PCR test in a laboratory.

As a result, the infections are not included in the official statistics.
