Large deployment at Hamburg Central Station: Suspected Marburg-Virus!

In the afternoon of October 2, Hamburg Central Station became the scene of an extensive emergency operation. The trigger was a medical student from Rwanda, who was presumably infected with the dangerous Marburg virus and showed symptoms on his trip to Hamburg on his trip. Corresponding measures were quickly initiated to ensure the safety of all travelers. The fire brigade and the federal police then blocked at least one track and asked all travelers to avoid the affected area.

The situation required immediate reactions from the emergency services. The fire brigade confirmed that the student was brought to a so -called infection car, which is specially designed for the transport of persons infected with high -containing diseases. According to a fire brigade spokesman, his symptoms were described as flu -like; He complained about slight nausea, but he had no fever. This could possibly indicate that his illness is not as serious as initially feared.

willingness of the security forces and measures

The federal police acted immediately after the first emergency call and quickly blocked the track in question to create a safe space for medical treatments. A certain pedestrian traffic was redirected to minimize potential risks. Although the track is now released, the situation remains tense because the possible consequences of a Marburg virus infection can be far.

The Marburg virus belongs to the Filoviren family and can result in serious health consequences. In an infection, symptoms such as high fever, abdominal pain and severe bleeding can occur. In the past, outbreaks in various parts of Africa led to a serious health emergency. The willingness and rapid ability of the emergency services at Hamburg Central Station shows awareness of such risks.

A spokesman announced that the necessary tests will be carried out in the hospital in order to gain clarity about the student's health situation as quickly as possible. The authorities are in close contact with medical specialists in order to monitor the situation exactly and to coordinate further measures if necessary.

More information will be expected in the coming hours. It is of great importance that both those responsible and the public remain well informed to ensure safe conditions at the train station and in the city of Hamburg.
