Covid incidence rate remains above 35 Bonn could soon move to incidence level 2
Bonn · For five days in a row now, the incidence rate in Bonn has been above 35. This means that incidence level 2 could apply to Bonn as early as the middle of this week. Stores would again have to reduce the number of customers allowed and parties would be prohibited.
On Sunday, the seven-day incidence rate was 41.6 in Bonn, according to the North Rhine-Westphalia State Center for Health. 240 Bonn residents were currently infected with the coronavirus, it said. The figures are based on data from Sunday at midnight.
This means that the incidence rate is now above the threshold of 35 for five days in a row. If it does not drop below 35 on Monday and Tuesday, the incidence level 2 will apply again for Bonn. This would then remain in place as long as the incidence rate doesn’t reach 50.
