Innsbruck – Innsbruck City and Kufstein District in Orange (High Risk), Landeck, Innsbruck-Land and Schwaz Districts in Yellow (Medium Risk) – Following the Corona traffic light update, Governor Günther Platter commented on the situation in Tirol on Tuesday. . The circuit was “not a surprise” to him, and he basically defended the instrument.
“The colors of the traffic light not only play with colors, it is also about raising awareness of the current situation: we have to pay more attention to each other because the virus is still with us,” Platter warned.
As of 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, there were 646 positive cases in Tyrol. However, Platter sees the evening dining situation as increasingly “problematic”, specifically in Innsbruck, where a cluster consists of a single restaurant with 56 new infections currently. The state medical directorate is even assuming a further increase.
“New infections are increasing in Tyrol. Due to the fact that the school has already started and the upcoming start of the university, we have to closely monitor future developments and remain vigilant, for our own protection and that of family and friends, “the governor said after the meeting of the Tyrolean provincial government.
“Violations in the night gastronomy will not be tolerated”
Platter expressly embraced the federal ordinance, which took effect on Monday, according to which food and beverages in restaurants and bars can only be consumed while sitting, that is, from the seat.
“This measure is absolutely correct and important, as a look at the growing number of new infections in the restaurant sector shows. There is a consensus in the Tyrolean state government that any deliberate circumvention of this regulation will not be tolerated. Instead, there will be strict controls to prevent any evasion, ”Platter said.
Due to the increase in numbers in Tyrol, there will be comprehensive examinations for further protection of facilities in sensitive areas such as health, care and education. Legal options for preventive measures are currently being examined in certain public places, such as markets, through the use of oral and nasal protection.
In general, there are currently many groups in Tyrol, and most are small groups that shrink rapidly in the course of immediate secretion from the infected, according to Platter. More than 50 percent of the people who tested positive are between the ages of 15 and 35.
Several small bunches in Tyrol
“In general, the coronavirus cases that occur in Tyrol can be assigned to groups very well and links can be made; many family groups are currently registered, which can generally be reduced on a smaller scale. But infections also occur with more often after private celebrations or meetings; the more important our appeal is: the more people adhere to hygiene and safety measures, the sooner we can work together to ensure that the virus does not spread again in Tyrol. no more are required measures, not even mandatory ”, emphasized the governor.
Currently, only a few cases would be related to a travel activity. Meanwhile, there was a death in Tyrol for the first time since May 22: over the weekend, a person with previous illnesses who had tested positive for the virus died in the Innsbruck-Land district. 109 people died in connection with the virus in Tyrol.
