What crown rules now apply in the district? Confusion is growing about the seven-day incidence and its associated regulations. Since the district office already issued a value of 51.22 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in a week on Sunday, the traffic light in the crown would be red because the risk value of 50 was exceeded. The strictest rules should apply of the Free State.
But on Monday, both the Ministry of Health and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) calculated the incidence at 49 and thus changed the traffic light from crown to yellow. The stricter regulations are not only lifted, they have yet to be enforced. Starnberg is not considered a risk area due to changing bureaucratic numbers and it never was. District Administrator Stefan Frey (CSU) is upset.
Elementary students don’t have to wear masks this Tuesday either, hosts can open until 11 p.m., and friends can meet ten people instead of five. Gastronomy Martin Rieb from “Fischer am See” in Stegen, for example, commented on this with the words: “This is incredible, a complete disaster.” Only on Monday did he cancel a reservation for Tuesday due to stricter rules.
So today, so tomorrow: for hosts like Martin Rieb from “Fischer am See” (pictured), the number of shifts of the authorities is an additional burden.

According to Frey, the cause of the chaos appears to be an error in the transmission of infection numbers from the district office to the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) and to the RKI. According to a ministry spokesperson, the new incidence-dependent crown traffic light rules only apply to cities and districts that are listed on the Ministry of Health website. There, Starnberg was only added to the list of cities and districts with an incidence value of more than 35 on Sunday night, although this warning value was already exceeded last Monday.
By Monday, District Administrator Frey expected Starnberg to slide down the list of risk areas, but this did not happen. The district can also enter the red area on Tuesday after the LGL and RKI calculation, so the stricter Free State rules would still apply, but possibly not. The round trip, on the other hand, does not affect the requirements that the district administrator issued a general decree on Sunday regardless of the Free State. The requirement for masks at train stations and the Andechs Monastery, the prohibition of alcohol in the Starnberg Church Square and lakeside walks, as well as visitor restrictions in homes, still apply.
The mess had already started on Saturday. Over the weekend, Frey warned the LGL that there were errors in the transmission of numbers when the district was even listed with an incidence of 24.15 at times. He complained again on Sunday. “I’m pretty mad,” Frey said Monday night. He would “suddenly phone the LGL president.” And a little helpless sends after: “What should we do?” It calls on the public to fully adhere to the regulations that apply to risk areas in all areas, “because we have exceeded the value.”
Appeals regardless of regulations: Teachers feel they are under pressure, after all, they have to implement the mask requirement in elementary schools. “We must not get caught up in the fact that we are now beginning to evaluate the numbers and measures,” says the president of the Bavarian Teachers Association, Simone Fleischmann. Schools should be able to trust the authorities one hundred percent.
In police stations, officers hardly know which offenses should be punished. On Monday, police reported a curfew violation in the evening from Saturday to Sunday around two o’clock in a downtown Starnberg restaurant with around 70 guests. Normally, the landlord would have to expect a hefty fine. But could he be saved, Starnberg police may hear: “We will pass this on to the district office, and now you must decide how to address it.
On Monday, the district office registered five new cases, the number of infected rose to 950, of which 841 are considered recovered.
