In the Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, security measures to contain the corona virus are being tightened again. There has been an outbreak at a US military facility and authorities fear further spread events will occur.
As the number of corona infection cases in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district has passed a critical mark, security measures for the community area have been increased for seven days. As the district office announced on Friday, people who visited certain bars on Tuesday night will be asked to come forward and get tested.
From this Friday all restaurants have to close every day at 10 at night, as they said. Only a maximum of five people are allowed to meet in the public space; this also applies to all restaurants. For private events the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 50 people in closed rooms or up to 100 people outdoors. The number of new confirmed infections with the corona virus surpassed the critical mark of 50 people per 100,000 inhabitants in the seven days of Friday.
According to the information, the district’s investigation teams are looking for corona-infected people who visited certain bars in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Tuesday night. According to previous knowledge, that night very contagious people visited the bars. According to the first information, writes Bayerischer Rundfunk, a vacationer from the US was in the nightlife of Garmisch-Partenkirchen at least Tuesday night.
“I had to have fun despite the symptoms”
The chain of infection is extremely difficult to understand because the woman was in various locations. Only in his accommodation, which belongs to the US military, another 33 people tested positive for Corona. The overwhelming part goes back to the young woman, “because she thought, despite the symptoms, she had to have fun,” as a district spokesman for the daily “Bild” put it. The district office expects “numerous follow-up infections.”
Due to the current situation, the test center in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also open on Saturdays and Sundays from 3pm to 8pm. Young people in particular are called upon to get tested, he said. They are particularly affected by new infections.
It was not initially known whether the increase in new infections will also affect schools and daycare centers. Therefore, the “Ausbremst is” event and the Bavarian Farmers Association rally on 12-13 September can take place as planned.
