Anyone in the Südbar on October 10 may have received a text message from the operator. It says: “All the people who were in the Südbar that night must wear a mask in company until Tuesday night, October 20 and keep a distance of 1.5 meters whenever possible.” Reason: A person who was at the bar last Saturday night tested positive for the virus.

“We are happy with this system”

At the request of FM1Today, Südbar said: “A contact tracker informed us that the person in question was with us on October 10.” If you visit the Südbar, you must register with your smartphone and log out again as soon as you leave the bar. “We are very happy with this system. So we were able to narrow down the whole thing and we knew who to report to. “

They are also in the process of finding a similar city-wide solution with the Nacht Gallen association. “In Bern there is the solution that you can register at one bar, as soon as you go to the next one, you automatically unsubscribe and register directly at the new bar.”

Damann suspects the same procedure as in the case of the BBC

It is not clear why the 160 guests do not have to be quarantined. FM1Today was able to speak with Thomas Zuberbühler, media spokesman for the canton of St. Gallen, on the sidelines of today’s government press conference: Zuberbühler said he did not know anything specific about this case. In the case of the BBC in Gossau on August 28 (FM1Today reported), the infection of a party guest was only known after eight days.

The viral load decreases after seven days. After this time, the quarantine was no longer effective. Only the St. Gallen contact tracker could provide information on the specific case. “But these days everyone is too busy for anyone to provide information on an individual case.”

The infected guest was in the bar on Saturday 10 October and the management of the Südbar was informed of the contact tracing on Thursday 15 October.

Another case in the Kugl

A similar case is said to have occurred at the Kugl pub in St. Gallen. The email sent to FM1Today claims that a person who was at the Kugl on October 10 tested positive for Covid-19. All evening guests must wear a mask in company no later than October 20 and maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 meters. In addition, attention should be paid to typical symptoms such as a dry cough, fever, fatigue, or loss of the sense of taste and smell.
