Enhance the city's prosperity and quality of life
Oberhausen, a city known for its love of success, has been grappling with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first residents of the city were vaccinated against the virus on December 27, 2020, marking a significant step forward in the fight against the pandemic.
However, many self-employed people, gastronomers, and parents in Oberhausen have been facing financial and emotional hardships due to the pandemic. To address these issues, the SPD has taken the initiative to form a city development company, aiming to gain influence over the city's shaping.
The city is determined to free itself from the tight grip of the pandemic. The SPD city council faction has prepared the ground as best as possible in local politics for the challenges ahead, and a comprehensive senior support plan is being developed by key players in the city society based on a social democratic discussion paper.
The residents of Oberhausen are expected to manage the current situation with straightforwardness and minimal fuss. The city thanks all doctors, medical staff, helpers, organisers of vaccination campaigns, and soldiers of the Bundeswehr for their efforts in combating the virus.
The new federal government under SPD Chancellor Olaf Scholz has made the fight against the pandemic a top priority. The prospects for ending the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany in 2022 are cautiously optimistic but depend heavily on coordinated actions by the federal government and local communities like Oberhausen.
The new federal government has agreed to use the hospitalization incidence as the key criterion for implementing stricter anti-pandemic measures, replacing the criticized seven-day incidence rate. This approach sets clear thresholds for measures such as the "2G" and "2G+" rules and contact restrictions, intended to better control virus transmission and balance pandemic control with social and economic activities.
While Germany's structured framework and evolving measures under the new government provide a strategy for mitigating the pandemic, the complete ending of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022 depends on factors such as vaccine coverage, emergence of variants, and public adherence to rules.
In education, the city is applying insights gained during the pandemic to school learning in existing schools. The new comprehensive school to be built in the east of the city will have the best conditions to equip children with tools for a complex, rapidly changing world.
As the city moves forward, it continues to meet the challenges of the pandemic with reason, pragmatism, and mutual consideration. The SPD city council faction wishes the residents of Oberhausen a happy and healthy New Year 2022. These problems cannot be solved locally alone and require all members of society to translate hard-won insights into practical action.
