Corona: Munich breaks the 50 threshold at 7-day incidence, what does that mean?
For classification: What happened today? Today (Friday 18 September), Munich is the first metropolis in Germany to reach the 50 mark. 7-day incidence per 100,000 inhabitantsr broken. Courage is important. Because it makes new corona infections in all German city districts and districts so easy to compare and because it includes not just daily values, but a whole week. And among the megacities of Germany, Munich is the sad leader. For comparison: in Sedan the value is currently around 18 in Hamburg at 17 and on Suburb at 21.
Even the reproduction number 1.41 cannot please those responsible in the Munich City Hall. Currently 100 Munich residents infect 141.
At the same time, the value is now for Munich should not be evaluated differently than, for example, Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In other words: It doesn’t matter if the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district, Kulmbach or the Munich metropolis break the 50, because the value says the same everywhere.
Corona hotspot Munich: threshold of 50 cases actually requires specific restrictions, actually
And yet it was established as a major milestone by the federal and state governments in May. Literally:
“From some relevance, a regional dynamic with a high number of new infections and a rapid increase in the infection rate must be achieved. immediately on site with Restrictions answered. Therefore, the federal states will ensure that in counties or urban districts with accumulated more than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 7 days immediately a consistent constraint concept it is implemented with the participation of the responsible state authorities. “
And that actually reads quite clearly. You might think so. However, one in the city hall wants to wait and see how the numbers evolve over the weekend. It is supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Health. An excess “does not activate an automatic mechanism to immediately issue general contact or exit restrictions,” an SZ spokesman said. You can see how different the reading of such a decision is.
WirtshausWiesn in Corona Munich hotspot: Reiter threatens hosts
So it remains with the existing alcohol bans in the nerve centers of the party in Munich and tomorrow at the same time (Saturday 19 September) the start of the “WirtshausWiesn *” will be celebrated. Reiter he just admonishes the hosts very, very clearly:
“Make sure the music is always background music and that your guests also comply with the infection protection rules. Not only at the beginning, but also after the second Oktoberfest beer shot. “
“In view of the current incidence of more than 50 days in 7 days, the strict requirements of protection against infections apply more than ever. The district administration department and the police will carry out intensive checks, especially during the Wirtshaus-Wiesn, and will punish any infraction in a systematic way. “
Reiter’s colleague in another German metropolis, namely Mayor Henriette Reker in Cologne, sounds very different. Think out loud about contact restrictions. After all, you have to do everything “to avoid another blockage.”
The schools also remain open, only with Maintain the mask requirement in class beginning in fifth grade.. The same is true for daycare centers, daycare centers, and other care facilities. Apart from that, these measures are already in effect:
