Advocacy for Health Services Department

In response to a rise in COVID-19 cases, the city of Düsseldorf has taken several measures to control the spread of the virus.

From the middle of the week, the city has deployed an additional 20 staff members from various city administration departments to reinforce contact tracing efforts. These staff members were previously deployed during the first infection wave in the spring. Numerous employees have also volunteered to help with contact tracing.

In an effort to curb the spread of the virus, the city has implemented a mask requirement for pedestrians in various areas from 10 to 19 hours. These areas include Kaiserswerther Markt/Klemensplatz, Westfalenstraße, Bender- and Dreherstraße, Rethelstraße, Nord- and Duisburger Straße, Belsenplatz, and parts of Luegallee. The old town area, including Ratinger Straße, Rathausufer, Schlossufer, Heine-Allee, and Hafenstraße, as well as Flingerstraße, is also subject to the mask requirement from 10 to 24 hours.

Additionally, the mask requirement has been extended to other areas such as the main station, the old town, and several other pedestrian zones. This includes Friedrichstraße, Düsseldorf-Arcaden, Bilk S-Bahn station, Bilker Allee, Lorettostraße, Kölner Straße, Eller's Gumbertstraße and Gertrudisplatz, Benrath pedestrian zone, and Garath district center. Parts of Luegallee, Belsenplatz, and various areas in the old town, Bilk S-Bahn station, and the Garath district center are also included in the mask requirement during the specified hours.

Schadowstraße from Am Wehrhahn to the old town transition, Königsallee with Blumenstraße/Martin-Luther-Platz, Grünstraße and Bahnstraße, each between Königsallee and Berliner Allee, are also subject to the mask requirement. Around the main station, mask wearing is mandatory from 6 to 24 hours.

Dr. Klaus Goebels, head of the health department, stated that with the personnel reinforcement, they can currently manage the tasks, but if infection numbers continue to rise, they must react. The state has promised financial resources for temporary positions for contact tracing for six months.

While there are no specific data available on the increase in COVID-19 incidence or additional contact tracing measures in Düsseldorf as of August 2025, COVID-19 incidence rates continue to fluctuate regionally, influenced by factors such as seasonality disruptions and public health interventions. Non-pharmaceutical interventions and vaccination efforts remain key components in controlling rises in incidence.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information on Düsseldorf's COVID-19 situation and response measures including contact tracing reinforcements, checking local health authority announcements or official city websites would be recommended.
