The district of Heinsberg in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia is considered a hot spot for the novel Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. As part of the study, a research team led by Prof. Dr. Hendrik Streeck and Prof. Dr. Gunther Hartmann from the University of Bonn carried out a large study to precisely determine the infection fatality rate for the first time among other findings. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of SARS/CoV-2-positive individuals (degree of infestation) in the population of a high-risk area, the virulence of infection with SARS/CoV-2 and the personal and environmental factors that correlate with the virulence of the virus.
