City of Hamburg to return to full lockdown

The German city of Hamburg faces a new set of restrictions as the city is set to reimpose full lockdown measures right after the seven-day incidence of COVID-19 cases there rose above 100 per 100,000 people.

This means that all the steps the city had made in opening up to return to normalcy will be reversed. DW said that the Mayor, Peter Tschentscher, stated that the return to a full lockdown would start on Saturday, after case numbers in the northern port city edged above 100 per 100,000 residents.
