Corona in My Local Area

So my local German town is a total of 285k residents.  As of yesterday (Sunday, the 26th)....the total infection rate since day one is 510 folks (476 recovered).

Data from the regional news site.

Death tally?  22....vast majority over the age of 70.  Most of the 22 had secondary conditions (diabetes, COPD, etc).

Low?  Yes, and it simply begs questions which can't be readily answered. 

Yes, there is a stringent policy about visitation to retirement homes and hospitals.  Some parts of this have been relaxed in the past month.

Yes, schools did re-open and are in summer holiday period right now.

But beyond that.....it's only a guess why the infection rate stayed so low.
