The district of Coesfeld belonged to in the last week of the five regions in Germany in which the upper limit for new infections could not be met. At times, the number of confirmed Corona cases was 103 per 100,000 inhabitants. The Corona cases in the local Slaughterhouse had significantly contributed to the increase.
