Mask requirement at locations in Munich

WITHTo contain the coronavirus, the city of Munich has decided that masks are required in certain public places and streets in the city center. This is the result of a meeting of the city’s crisis team, which met on Monday morning due to the persistently high number of infections. The regulation should apply from Thursday if the alert value of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants continues to exist within seven days. Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) takes this on.

In addition, the city is reintroducing restrictions on public and private life due to the increase in the number of corona. As of Thursday, only five people or two households are likely to meet in the Bavarian capital, Reiter said Monday in Munich. This applies to both public and private spaces and gastronomy.

The numbers skyrocket

Previously, Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) had promised a mask requirement in public places in Munich, where distance rules cannot be observed. You have very mixed feelings, for example, when you look at the photos of wild Wiesn replacement parties like the weekend at the Viktualienmarkt. “I don’t want to take anyone’s joy away,” Söder said. But given the high number of infections in Munich, joy and reason better go together.

Furthermore, the city’s health department will be supported in the future by the Bundeswehr. “We will ask the Bundeswehr to provide 100 people to improve monitoring.”

By Sunday, Corona’s figures in Munich had reached 55.6 new cases per 100,000 residents in a week. This means that a significant cutoff value for newly tested corona infections has been exceeded.

Söder said he was not worried about professionally organized events. “The problem is the private parties,” he said. “If reason doesn’t help, then you have to control it.” The aim is to allow schools and nurseries to continue operating in Bavaria and to protect the economy from further restrictions.

“Bellyache” for the final of the Super Cup

There could also be stricter quarantine rules for the planned Super Cup match between FC Bayern Munich and FC Sevilla in the crown risk zone of Budapest. Anyone who has been in a risk zone abroad for less than 48 hours does not yet have to go into a two-week quarantine at home. Everyone should think carefully about whether they really want to go there, Söder told radio station B5 currently. “My stomach hurts a lot when it comes to the Super Cup.”

The European Football Union Uefa remains faithful to its plans to play the Super Cup final in front of the spectators on Thursday at Puskás Arena. The stadium’s 67,000-seat capacity will be used up to 30 percent. Both clubs have around 3000 tickets available. Around 2,100 soccer fans want to accompany FC Bayern Munich to Budapest on Sunday, according to the information.
