Munich's new corona hotspot: These are the next steps
Update, 8.20 p.m.:
New Corona hotspot Munich and WirtshausWiesn-Anstich on Saturday - how does that work?
How do those responsible explain that?
Which measures can be expected and which are already in place?
And how should this number 50 really be classified?

Besides

, the city recorded in Bavaria currently

the city
Kaufbeuren (61.51),
the District of
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (58.78)

district of Kulmbach (50,11)

Crazy about it:
In the absolute Corona hotspot
Würzburg,
the rules for gastronomy have been adapted to the revised Bavarian Infection Protection Regulation.
Specifically: In the city with the most Corona cases per 100,000 inhabitants, you can now drink alcohol for an hour longer.
The restaurants in downtown Würzburg can now serve alcohol until 11 p.m. instead of 10 p.m.
Update, 5:17 p.m.:
In the 1.5 million city of Munich, the 7-day incidence per 100,000 inhabitants has exceeded the 50-case mark.
Nevertheless, the schools will remain open for the time being.
At the same time, the mask requirement is retained from the fifth grade.
Otherwise there are no other restrictions on public life.
But that can change quickly if the number of cases continues to rise over the weekend, says OB Reiter:
"We agreed, especially after the professional assessment of our health authority, that we want to wait for the further development over the weekend and then, if necessary, on Monday in the crisis team, should the 50 limit remain exceeded or the numbers even increase further Measures to be decided. "
Update from September 18, 2020, 4:17 p.m.:
What measures is the city of Munich taking?
“However, if the trend continues and the number of infections continues to rise, further measures will have to be examined.
This includes, for example,
reducing the number of people
at private celebrations from 100 to 50 people indoors and from 200 to 100 people outdoors.
Also
extend the blocking time
we discussed.
About these measures -
reducing the number of people for private celebrations
, extending the blocking period - we will discuss again on Monday in the crisis team when the numbers for the weekend are available, "says Dieter Reiter.

The
7-day incidence
for Munich is
50.70
.
Munich
thus
exceeds the limit
of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants.
How the city will act is not yet clear.
If the value is exceeded, drastic restrictions such as closing schools and daycare centers are planned.
Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter had already warned of appropriate measures in Munich.
Update, 10:20 a.m.:
Piazolo is overall satisfied with the start of the school year.
Therefore,
as planned
, the
mask requirement in class can be omitted from Monday
.
However, this continues to apply on the school premises.
If the number of cases on site increases, the responsible health authorities decide what should be done, according to the minister of education.
From an incidence of 35, this could mean that all pupils from the fifth grade onwards would
have to wear
a mask again
in class
if the
minimum distance
could not be maintained.

In addition, only people are affected who were tested in the said period in the Unterallgäu at the drive-in, in the infection practice or via the transport service of the health department.
