ProSieben / Sat1: 200 employees in the home office due to corona virus
The media group ProSi eben / Sat1 in Unterföhring has had around 200 employees in their home office for two weeks since Monday. The background is apparently the visit of an employee from Düsseldorf, who previously had business contacts in Italy , where the virus had spread quickly. This employee is said to have been to a meeting in Unterföhring. For security reasons, colleagues with whom he had contact were now apparently sent home.
Coronavirus companies are preparing
All other companies are also arming themselves: In addition to “preventive measures and medical advice,” Infineon in Neubiberg has extensive travel guidelines for China, Korea and parts of Italy . According to a company spokesman, preparations have been made to ensure that business operations run as smoothly as possible, depending on further developments. "These include precautions to protect health as well as technical measures to enable large parts of the employees to work from home."
Empty supermarket shelves in the Munich district
The fact that many people are worried about the corona virus is particularly noticeable in the district's supermarkets: since Saturday there has been a yawning emptiness on the pasta shelves. But hamster buyers don't stop at toilet paper, milk, fish, meat and tomato paste. Everyday groceries are almost sold out.
The travel industry is also feeling the effects of the virus: a quarantined Spanish hotel and sealed off towns in Italy. The spread of the corona virus continues to have an impact - also on the travel industry in the Munich district.
Because of corona virus: With a respirator in the supermarket
"This is crazy," says Robin Hertscheck , owner of a supermarket at the Neubiberg train station. “There was a lot going on at the weekend.” Products such as milk, various cans, pasta, but also water and apple juice ended up in the customers' shopping carts. "I didn't expect it," Hertscheck admits. On Saturday, he ordered the most important groceries immediately, and he doesn't know whether they can all be delivered in the next few days. "It's not just the case with us right now," he says. For fear of the virus, a customer even did his shopping at the weekend with a respirator . Such precautions are incomprehensible to the supermarket owner. "I think a lot of panic is spreading and a lot is inflated," he says. The majority of his customers would still be relaxed about the corona virus. "I believe that hamster purchases will decrease in the near future."

Everyday life despite corona virus: Few students are missing
Everyday life has returned to the schools in the district after the Carnival holidays. There are not many vacant chairs - despite the Ministry of Culture's request that schoolchildren who have been in risky areas such as Veneto or Lombardy should stay at home as a precaution. At the Ottobrunn grammar school there are only three students who are missing. Five stayed at high school in Oberhaching . At the Carl-Orff-Gymnasium in Unterschleissheim , too, it says “everything in the frame”. At the Werner-Heisenberger-Gymnasium in Garching only one student was missing on Monday because he had been in a risk area. It is worse for those who had been looking forward to exchanging ideas with students from the French city of Reims for months. Because the student exchange probably falls flat due to the spread of the corona virus. According to headmistress Armin Eifertinger , French families are not allowed to accept German guest students .
Not only the district is affected - Coronavirus in Bavaria: After the Coronavirus outbreak in Italy, Bavaria is also preparing itself for possible new cases. The Ministry of Health is now reporting new cases of the coronavirus in Bavaria.
