The Wurm Valley takes precautions to protect itself against the corona virus. Protective measures have already been planned by the municipalities for the election day on March 15th.
Würmtal - The corona virus stimulates communication. Countless discussions on the virus take place in the municipalities and companies in the Würmtal. The Philip Morris company, based in Graefelfing, wanted to celebrate its 50th anniversary yesterday with a large gathering. “We didn't do that,” explains Communications Officer Hannah Czekal. "We have been discussing the situation every morning since last week." Employees would be informed every two to three days. "Anyone who does not feel comfortable can work from home." Even those who feel emotionally uncomfortable. We still work. "This works very well thanks to video conferencing."
The Webasto company from Stockdorf, where the first coronavirus cases occurred in Germany at the end of January (we reported), also recommends employees to hold conference calls.
For the three schoolchildren, who have not been allowed to attend Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium and Planegger Feodor-Lynen-Gymnasium since Monday because they spent their Mardi Gras holidays in high-risk areas, there is still no video conference solution to enable them to take part in the lessons allow. You have peace at home.
Difficulties in delivery of disinfectants
The municipality has ordered disinfectants so that no one gets infected in Planegg. As for 40 large donors, there are delivery difficulties, spokeswoman Martina Sohn explains. However, smaller bottles were distributed in the town hall. For Gräfelfing, Mayor Uta Wüst says: "We have disinfectants on every toilet in the town hall." The municipality receives instructions from the Munich district office. Meanwhile, Neuried has decided to become active himself. Two city hall employees are currently working with the company doctor on a plan that is to be adopted on Wednesday. “We are very concerned about employees, children, voters and election workers,” said Susanne Stummer, Head of Office. As for the local election on March 15, protective measures such as disposable pens, disinfectant wipes and agents for voting booths and doorknobs are planned.
In Krailling, the corona virus is said to be the subject of the Jour fixe in the town hall today. Managing Director Franz Wolfrum plans to provide hand disinfectant on March 15th. He hopes that many citizens will opt for postal voting. So far it doesn't look like it. "I was expecting 40 to 50 percent, we are now a little over 20 percent. This is surprisingly little for me. "
Fewer believers in worship
The citizens seem to be on guard against the virus. Disinfectants are sold out in the drugstores in the Würmtal valley, and appropriate notes are also attached to pharmacies. And the prior of Maria Eich, Father Matthäus Klein, says: "My impression was that the Sunday service was not as well attended as the previous Sundays." The weather was good. The churches have also taken precautionary measures. In response to the peace greeting, people are now nodding, instead of shaking hands, no mouth communion.
