The first 14 hikers from ten households walked together, then they are said to have sat socially in a hut. Participants who tested positive are said to have broken quarantine and later infected other people at work. Politicians Demand: This must be severely punished.
meA 14-person group hiking excursion that included a social gathering in a cabin led to a sharp increase in corona infections in Baden-Württemberg and caused horror among politicians.
The mayor of the city of Mühlheim an der Donau, Jörg Kaltenbach (CDU), said according to “Bild”: “The hikers come from ten households. No one in the group adhered to the Corona rules, as we have now learned. Those involved infected each other and later infected others. That must be severely punished! ”Several media reported on the incident.
Participants who tested positive are said to have broken quarantine and later infected other people at work. In Mühlheim, the seven-day incidence at the end of last week was almost 1000, since then the value has dropped to around 500. In the Tuttlingen district, where Mühlheim an der Donau is located, the number of new infections by 100,000 inhabitants was within a week on Wednesday at 100.9.
The group walked through the snow-covered Danube Valley on January 16. Stefan Bär, district administrator for the Tuttlingen district, said in a video message posted on Facebook on Friday: “As of today, this rise has already led to 25 positive cases.” It was one of the most massive violations of the Crown Ordinance, by far. The behavior was ruthless “and borders on arrogance.”
“We also know that people from this group who tested positive and quarantined went to their factories and infected other people there,” the district administrator said. The police are investigating that the prosecution is involved. “It is no longer just about fines, but about crimes that must be controlled,” said Bär.
In a statement released Monday by the Mühlheim municipal and local council on the violation of the Corona rule, it is said that obviously false and incomplete information was also deliberately provided when tracing contacts. The walk is a “massive and completely unacceptable violation of Corona regulation.” The incident seriously damaged the reputation of the city and the district.
Mayor Kaltenbach told SWR with a view to the consequences for violators of the Corona rule: There are clear expectations “that one is moving here at the highest level, that it has to hurt and it has a deterrent effect.”
