The Dingolfing-Landau district is expected to exceed the warning value of 50 new infections per 100,000 residents in seven days. This was confirmed by a spokeswoman for the district office at the request of BR. Although the seven-day incidence is still officially 44.69 according to the State Health Office, the District Office firmly assumes that the 50 limit will be broken. Therefore, new measures will be announced throughout the afternoon.
Preventive series tests revealed that 32 people tested positive
So far, it is mandatory to wear a mask in all schools and nurseries. Following anomalies related to the increase in corona infections at a district company, the district office recently began a series of precautionary tests. In this, 32 people who tested positive could be determined.
BMW affected by crown outbreak
As a BMW spokesperson confirmed to BR, there were anomalies at the BMW factory facility in Dingolfing at a logistics service provider operating a parts supply center for vehicle assembly at the factory facility. Then, the serial test was ordered in consultation with the health department.
Production continues
Several hundred employees of the logistics service provider, other service providers and logistics employees of the BMW Group, who were in contact with this and repeatedly stayed at the supply center, were tested at the factory at the beginning of the week. According to the spokesperson, those who tested positive are in quarantine. But the production is normal, as they say.
Difficult to determine the source of infection
The same strict rules for hygiene and protection against infection apply at the logistics service provider’s facilities as throughout the BMW plant, according to the spokesperson. Compliance with the regulations by the logistics service provider was also verified. “Therefore, it is now difficult to find the source of the infection. That is now the task of the health department, as well as further investigations,” the spokesman said. However, the BMW Group is in close contact with the logistics service provider and local authorities to support them in their work and the implementation of new measures.
The district was a hotbed of viruses before
The Dingolfing-Landau district was a hotspot for viruses a few weeks ago. Following the corona outbreak at a vegetable farm and cannery in Mamming Township, hundreds of infections were found among harvest workers and factory workers. At that time, the infection process was clearly limited to the affected companies.
BR24 Editorial Team Note:
A spokeswoman for the Dingolfing-Landau district office had confirmed to the BR this morning that the warning value had been exceeded, not to mention that so far this is only a forecast based on the office’s calculations. The LGL numbers, which are still lower than this, would be belatedly updated. It is safe to assume that the threshold of 50 will be exceeded.
