I guess it's more of a note to the Chancellary of the Senate of the Free Hanseatic Town of Hamburg to stop using the on-demand service of Zoom. Pronto.
Should zoom change the way their on-demand service works or how the T&Cs are worded, zoom could again be used. Although I really do wonder why they should use it anyway, as several states are indeed self hosting own platforms (don't know if Zoom is among them, I believe Skype and WebEx are... another good candiate - if there is an on-prem version - would be Microsoft Teams), but I'm really not sure if Hamburg does have its own servers for web conferences / meetings / video calls.
So, yeah, this is how it is supposed to work: a service cannot be offered in the EU (and very definitely should not be used by the government!) if it does not comply with GDPR.
