Corona / Bavaria: Travel agency wants to support the health department - and receives rejection

Update from November 21, 7.43 a.m.:

A travel agency wants to help the health department to identify contact persons - and receives a rebuff.

Because the Bavarian Ministry of Health currently sees no need for external help with

"We currently have enough government employees," said a spokeswoman for the ministry.

Therefore, the question of the

by service providers has not yet arisen.

The Oberallgäu district office had previously

rejected

the offer from a

“On the one hand, the employees need a task,” said travel agency managing director Rolf Apin, justifying the proposal.

"On the other hand, we can create a double

These tasks should rather be done by their own staff.

According to the ministry, around 700 new employees have been hired, and up to 500 more are to follow.

The applicant situation was "mostly

very good," said a spokesman.

2000 people from the state administration, police and armed forces are also working in Bavaria to track down contacts.

A spokesman for the

stressed, however, that the authority should not even decide on such a cooperation itself.

New employees for contact follow-up would be hired under employment contracts with the government of Swabia. 

“The employees of the company could apply for it as normal,” emphasized the spokesman.

But because they

receive

benefits, they are only allowed to earn up to the amount of their previous net earnings.

With such a low hourly rate, the effort for training would be too great.

Elsewhere, however, the help of a travel agency is welcome: The Coesfeld district in North Rhine-Westphalia has been cooperating with a company since the beginning of November.

Up to ten employees help the health department with telephone support for

The travel agency employees use their own premises, as a spokesman for the district office said.

"That helps the health department so as not to burden their own infrastructure for intensive contact follow-up."
