From April 30th, the same corona rules will apply in Hamburg as in the rest of Germany. Mayor Peter Tschentscher clearly rejects criticism of the special course recently taken. The opposition, on the other hand, is demanding a reappraisal.

DIt wasn’t really good news on the day that Hamburg’s Mayor Peter Tschentscher (SPD) wanted to announce that in the Hanseatic city from the beginning of May, masks could fall in significantly more areas than before: the seven-day incidence value rose on Tuesday significantly from 1105 the day before to 1213.1 and is thus also 170 points higher than in the previous week.

In addition to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg, in contrast to all other federal states, made use of a rule of the Federal Infection Protection Act, which allows certain measures to be continued if this can be justified by a dynamic infection process or an impending overload of the clinics, known to the public as hotspot Rule. On Tuesday when he appeared before the Hamburg state press conference, Tschentscher no longer wanted to use this term. Rather, it was a measure to avert danger and a “precautionary measure for a certain transitional period”.

Tschentscher left no doubts about whether this was effective or not. “Wearing the masks protected against more infections,” he said, although he did not deny that the incidence trend in the federal states without this protection rule has been quite synchronous with the development in Hamburg in the past few weeks. However, the effect cannot be so easily related to a value or a political decision, because there is “a complexity of the factors” in a pandemic, which are then also special in Hamburg’s metropolitan situation.

But it was not the big day of maneuver criticism anyway, in several contributions Tschentscher praised the government’s actions, basically every major task was handled “very well” or even “very very well” and then the “clever and rational decisions” were then also “Very transparent” and would have withstood any legal scrutiny. Tschentscher did not want to go directly into statements about a commission of inquiry to process Hamburg’s pandemic policy, as demanded by the left on Tuesday, “out of respect for Parliament”. But, as could be heard, he wouldn’t worry about it either, because: “The Senate is at peace with itself”.

Since the “certain transitional period” of the protective measures is about to expire, the same rules will apply in Hamburg from April 30 as in the rest of the republic. It will then only be compulsory to wear a mask in local public transport and where vulnerable groups need to be protected in a targeted manner, for example for visitors to clinics, medical practices or residential facilities. Schools will continue to test twice a week until something else is decided.

“But we’re not done yet”

And so it was time for the mayor to say thank you to the authorities, the churches and the “solidarity of the city community” as a whole. The Covid 19 cases in the clinics are currently declining, “but we are not through yet”, even if he hopes that no new situation will arise in the summer. And in autumn? “I’m confident that we won’t have a relapse in October, but you can’t predict that with certainty,” said Tschentscher. The high vaccination rate and the basic immunization of the people of Hamburg are good protection, and anyone who still wants to be vaccinated can do so at any time. Health Senator Melanie Leonhard (SPD) wants to announce how vaccination in Hamburg is to be reorganized this week.

The Hamburg FDP deputy Anne von Treuenfels-Frowein is naturally more critical of the Senate balance sheet than the head of government. “The pandemic does not end with the reversal of the useless red-green wrong decision to declare Hamburg a corona hotspot by the end of April: In view of Mayor Tschentscher’s governess-like politics, which has lasted for more than two years, there is a great need to deal with it,” she said and spoke to herself for a commission of inquiry. The AfD also called for a review.
