A 26-year-old infected with the corona virus became a super spreader in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The current situation has now been informed at a press conference.
In
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
, a Corona * infected person (26) infected several people.
The market community therefore had to return to tougher measures.
Now there is a press conference on the current situation.
Update, 8:11 p.m.:
The first report from Speer that the infected were a German and two US Americans was revised directly after the press conference on site:
Three German citizens
are
definitely
affected
- two Garmisch-Partenkirchner and one Bad Kohlgruber.
Update, 2:28 p.m.:
The
corona infection
in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
seems to be under control for the time being, as the district administrator's words indicate.
Almost all
nine infections
were recorded in the quarantined
Edelweiss resort
.
Nevertheless, it is not certain that the 26-year-old is actually “patient zero” and is therefore solely responsible for the increase in the number of
infections
.
With
positive hope
but also with great
caution
, the further infection process should now be clearly observed in the next few days.
In addition, all residents of the
market town
- especially young
people involved in nightlife
-
are still
called upon
to
voluntary corona tests
.
After the corona rise in GAP: District Administrator thanks all helpers - and then announces an important appeal
Update 2:23 p.m.:
In conclusion, District Administrator
Anton Speer
reiterates
his
hope
that no more positive results can be expected from the remaining 300 tests on Monday (September 14).
These should be available in the course of Tuesday afternoon.
The
tourism
and the
reputation
of the district Garmisch-Partenkirchen should take any further damage.
Speer thanks everyone who has contributed to the
previous prevention of
the further
spread of the coronavirus
in the market town.
He expresses his
special thanks to
the young people who had already had themselves tested despite the long waiting times
and pays them "respect".
Corona infections in GAP: New cases almost all in US resort
Update 2:17 p.m
.: As
Speer
continues to
report
, there has been no direct contact with the 26-year-old.
So she has not yet commented on her behavior.
The
infection process
is currently limited mainly to the US facility of the
Edelweiss Resort.
However, it cannot be ruled out that there are other people who are responsible for the increase in the number of
infections
.
Corona scandal in GAP: Sometimes fake names and addresses make tracking difficult
It is particularly difficult to
trace
the direct
routes of infection
, as
sometimes
fake names
and telephone numbers were given
when
registering in the bars
.
It is assumed that around 70 percent of the information is incorrect.
"We didn't even know that
Donald Trump
and
Bill Gates were
recently out
and
about
in the district so often," says Hansjörg Wiesböck, head of the
Corona
coordination group
in the district.
They had previously been very confident that so many pieces of paper had been filled out.
Update, 2:14 p.m.:
District Administrator Anton
Speer
is
positive.
“We have everything under control,” he says.
The district is
not a risk area
and
tourists are
still wanted and welcome.
However, bars and restaurants will still be closed at 10 p.m.
One must exercise "extreme caution".
"The
hygiene rules
must be adhered to," says Speer.
Superspreader in GAP: District Administrator Anton Speer provides information on preliminary test results
Update, 2.10 p.m.: The
people who tested positive are said to be a waitress from the
"Peaches"
bar
and two visitors to an
Irish pub
. In an
urgent appeal
, the
district administrator calls on
young people
in particular
to be tested. So far, no further
measures
are
planned
based on the number of
infections
.
The employees of the
Edelweiss Resort,
25
of whom have so far
tested positive
, are under the control of the US Army, which also carried out the tests there.
With regard to the 26-year-old American who
triggered
the
Corona scandal
, the
public prosecutor was
turned on and investigated because of
negligent bodily harm
.
Update, 2:06 p.m
.: The update on the
corona situation
is given by the district administrator of the
Garmisch-Partenkirchen district, Anton Speer (FWL)
.
He says the current
7-day incidence
is around 55.
Of the additional 740 people tested last weekend, only three people tested positive, but they
are said to be
directly related to the
superspreader of
the
Edelweiss Resort
.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
- A
corona scandal has broken out
in
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
.
A 26-year-old
American
, employee of the
Edelweiss Resort, which is
not accessible to tourists
(not to be confused with the other two hotels with "Edelweiss" in the name in the region *) on Zugspitzstrasse, had suspected herself despite knowing her
Corona infection
in the
nightlife
in Garmisch-Partenkirchen *
let off steam
- and shortly afterwards experienced her positive test result. *
Super spreader in GAP: Employees from the Edelweiss Resort celebrated despite the corona infection
The young woman thus became a
“super spreader”.
So far, a total of over 710 possible contact persons for the woman have been tested.
So far, three tests have given a
positive result,
as the picture reports
.
.
The woman returned from vacation in Greece at the end of August.
However, it is unclear where she was infected.
After the corona scandal in GAP: press conference on the results of the super spreader
The
market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen
recently had
to
return
to stricter
corona measures
due to the rapid increase in
new infections
.
After the American's behavior became known, young people in particular were asked to be tested voluntarily.
The
results of the tests
should now be available.
It could then become clear whether an infected 26-year-old's pub crawl was actually partly responsible for the rapid increase in the number of infections.
The possible “super spreader” is in
quarantine
at home
.
You not only face a fine for violating quarantine requirements, but also criminal proceedings for
negligent bodily harm.
The
preliminary results on the corona situation in Garmisch-Partenkirchen are to be announced at
a
press conference
.
