Enhance the urban environment of our town
In the city of Oberhausen, under the leadership of the SPD, a spirit of pragmatism and determination is driving efforts to meet the challenges of the ongoing pandemic. The city council, led by Sonja Bongers, is actively preparing for the challenges ahead in local politics.
The people of Oberhausen are demonstrating common sense and mutual consideration as they navigate the pandemic. Despite concerns about self-employment, the hospitality industry, and the health of children, the city's residents remain resilient.
As Germany grapples with the pandemic, the new federal government under SPD Chancellor Olaf Scholz has made the fight against COVID-19 a top priority. The government's response strategy includes a focus on hospitalization incidence rates and the implementation of measures such as the 2G rule and stricter 2G+ rules.
One of the most significant measures being considered is a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for all adults, planned for implementation by February 2022. Scholz has advocated for this mandate as essential for effectively managing the pandemic, emphasizing that Germany cannot overcome the crisis without compulsory vaccinations.
In Oberhausen, the city council is taking action to support its residents. A new comprehensive school will be built in the east of the city, with a focus on equipping children with the tools they need to thrive in a complex, rapidly changing world.
Furthermore, important actors in city society will develop a comprehensive senior support plan based on a social democratic discussion paper. This plan aims to provide much-needed assistance to the city's elderly population.
The city council also recently founded a city development company to gain influence over the shaping of the city. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure that Oberhausen continues to grow and thrive in the face of the pandemic and beyond.
As the new year approaches, the SPD city council wishes the residents of Oberhausen a happy and healthy New Year 2022. They express optimism for the year ahead, emphasizing the city's ability to master situations straightforwardly and without much fuss.
The fight against the pandemic has not been easy, but the people of Oberhausen and the German government are working tirelessly to protect their communities. Thanks are given to doctors, medical staff, helpers, organisers of vaccination campaigns, and soldiers of the Bundeswehr for their efforts in fighting the pandemic.
Germany reached 100,000 Corona deaths in November 2021, a sombre milestone in the country's fight against the virus. However, the first Oberhausen residents were vaccinated against Corona on December 27, 2020, at the Haus Abendfrieden, marking a significant step forward in the battle against the disease.
Despite the challenges, the people of Oberhausen remain hopeful, demonstrating the spirit of resilience and determination that defines the city. The city council continues to work diligently to support its residents and ensure that Oberhausen emerges stronger from the pandemic.
