She was suffering from symptoms, was corona positive, and said she had to have fun despite the clear signs of Covid-19. The party’s desire by a 26-year-old American woman to dive into the nightlife in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria, infected at least 33 people with the virus this week.
The young American has unleashed a large wave of corona infections in the district, “Bild” reported. On Friday alone, 33 people tested positive. Most of the infections can be traced back to the young American: “Because despite the symptoms, she thought she had to have fun,” said district spokesman Stephan Scharf.
The American was apparently staying at the “Edelweiss Lodge”, which belongs to the United States Army, and has been in a pub since Monday. It is said to have infected 23 people in the hotel complex alone. The so-called 7-day incidence in the district, that is, cases per 100,000 inhabitants in a week, shoots up above the critical benchmark of 50. According to the authorities, the current value is 54.
Up to 25,000 euros in buses
The authorities are faced with the problem that the contacts of the infected are very difficult to trace because the American has been in many places. Those responsible apparently expect “numerous follow-up infections.” Young people, in particular, who were out in the nightlife this week, were called in to get tested for the virus.
First, the authorities pull the cord. The bars close at 10pm and the number of diners at a table is limited to five. This means that the nightlife in the Alpine city is almost dead. Private celebrations indoors are limited to a maximum of 50 people, outdoors to 100 people. The offense can result in a fine of up to 25,000 euros.
Several resort employees also tested positive for the virus, wrote “Edelweiss Lodge” on its website. Therefore, the complex will be closed for two weeks starting Monday. (kes)
