After a respite in summer, there are more corona cases in the Miesbach district.
You can find out the current development in our live ticker.
Today the first three school classes in the district were sent to corona quarantine because of a student who tested positive.
Outside of schools, too, the number of new infections in the district has increased significantly in the past week compared to the previous week: from two to 22. In all cases, it is individual people and their families, reports the district office.
An infected person often infects members of his household before the infection is discovered.
Apparently paradoxical: Despite more infections, the active corona cases in the district remain consistently low.
On Friday, the district office was currently aware of 20 sick people.
This puts the district at the lower end of the range of 17 to 34 cases in which it has been commuting for a month.
The difference between increasing new infections and low active cases is due to a change in quarantine rules.
According to the district office, those who have tested positive only have to be in quarantine for ten days instead of the previous 14 days.
If a smear confirms a subsiding infection, the quarantine ends earlier.
If the ten days are up, no smear is necessary to end the quarantine.
Schoolchildren are excluded from the change: The framework plan of the Ministry of Education and Culture requires them to be quarantined for 14 days.
According to the current regulation, it could be that a student has to be in quarantine for 14 days, while his parents are allowed to go back to work after ten days, according to the district office.
The authority has not made this regulation, it only implements the instructions of higher levels.
It could well be that they will standardize their rules soon.

Dates for corona tests available
This weekend, district residents can make appointments for corona tests by telephone in the district's central test tent in front of the health department at Wendelsteinstrasse 1 in Miesbach on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
The offer applies as an exception and only on this weekend.
From Monday onwards, appointments will be made regularly on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Swabs are only made by prior appointment and are carried out by resident doctors.
The district office further recommends contacting your family doctor first if you suspect a corona infection.
He knows the individual medical history and can optimally care for the patient in the event of an infection.
There is also something new about the district's planned drive-through test center.
This seems to be further delayed.
As reported, the district office had last planned the opening of the facility, which is to function as the test center required by the Free State in each district, in mid-October.
Then, it was said, the necessary containers could be delivered.
Now the authority speaks in a report of an opening in the second half of October.
The test tent will have to stand in for a little longer as a test center.
The district administrator had already explained last week that the tent can provide the necessary capacity of 200 to 300 people to be tested daily.
Only the smear in the car will have to wait a little longer.
Six new corona cases have been reported to the health department.
As reported by the district office, two people each in Holzkirchen, Miesbach and Weyarn tested positive for the virus.
In each case, it concerns individual people who were probably infected in the home environment.
In the past few days, some people have been released from quarantine, so that there are currently only 16 active cases (most recently 23) in the district.
The so-called 7-day incidence is currently 13. Deviations from the number of the Robert Koch Institute, which reported an incidence of 9 yesterday afternoon, result from different cut-off times.

Corona in the Miesbach district: The status on Monday, August 31
District - The residents of two accommodations in the Miesbach district that have been quarantined because of Corona can breathe a sigh of relief: According to the district office, the people living in the shared accommodation at Münchner Straße 20 in Holzkirchen and the asylum seeker accommodation in Otterfing have all repeatedly tested negative.
Accordingly, the quarantine has been lifted for both facilities.
The fences around the accommodations still have to be dismantled.
The test results of the contact persons in the other accommodation in Holzkirchen were also negative.
The two people who originally tested positive are no longer considered to be infectious according to the RKI criteria.
The quarantine will therefore also be lifted for all people living there from this weekend.

For the residents of Münchner Straße 18 in Holzkirchen, on the other hand, the quarantine remains with the exception of the two people who have so far proven to have tested positive, but are no longer infectious.
A serial test of the other residents, who are considered to be category 1 contact persons, is to be carried out again on Monday.
There is also news about the planned test center of the district (we reported): This is to be built on the site of the Agatharied hospital.
There were only a few new infections to report over the weekend: three people have tested positive for Corona since Friday.
After ten positive tests on Wednesday, these are the first positive tests in the district.

Corona in the Miesbach district: The status on Thursday, August 27th:
District -
In order to intensify the corona tests at the end of the holidays and the start of school in the area, a larger test center is also being set up in the Miesbach district.
As the district office informs on request, the already existing test tent in front of the health department in Miesbach will first be reactivated and enlarged.
At the same time, preparations are being made to build a larger test center as a “drive-through station” that citizens can use from their cars.
It is still unclear where this “drive-through” test station will be built.
"The deployment of the drive-through solution is still being clarified," says Beate Faus, spokeswoman for the district office.
Various locations are currently being examined.
"That turns out to be difficult because it is impossible to predict how many cars will be waiting," said the spokeswoman yesterday.
Series tests of teachers and school staff are planned
The state government had already decided on August 10th to significantly expand the range of tests for an examination for Sars-CoV-2.
The districts were asked to report the "implementation" of this requirement to the government of Upper Bavaria by this Thursday.
Returning travelers in particular should have the opportunity to be checked for an infection.
In addition, the necessary infrastructure is to be created in order to be able to cope with series tests by teachers, school staff and teachers in good time for the start of school.
The Miesbacher test center should be so large that 200 to 300 people (two to three percent of the district's population) can be swabbed every day.
It should be usable at least by the end of the year.
“The required capacities have to be managed in the existing test tent,” says Faus;
In the long run, however, the station in front of the health department will be too small.
"In addition, tests for drive-through solutions can be carried out in a more material-friendly manner," says Faus.
The district office organizes the operation, the costs are borne by the Free State.
According to Faus, the smears are carried out by the local doctors in the district.
Unlike the large test centers set up by the Free State on motorways and airports, the test station in the district is not designed as an outpatient facility where anyone can be tested without registering.
“So please don't come to the tent on the off chance”, emphasized the district spokeswoman.
So far, the health department has been using its test tent in the parking lot to carry out serial tests and tests of contact persons of infected people.
If private persons want to be tested, they contact their family doctor as before.
