A 26-year-old infected with the corona virus in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is considered a "super spreader". But it is not certain whether she is really “patient zero”.


A 26-year-old infected with the corona virus in Garmisch-Partenkirchen is considered a "super spreader".

But whether she really is "patient zero" is not certain.

  • In

    Garmisch-Partenkirchen

    , a Corona * infected person (26) infected several people.

  • The market community therefore had to return to tougher measures.

  • Now new details about the process have become known.

  • You will always find all the latest news and information about the Corona crisis and only with us.

Update from September 19, 11:33 a.m

.: In the case of the

26-year-old

known

as the

"

super spreader

of Garmisch-Partenkirchen"

, new

details

that have become public make

the process appear less drastic than sometimes assumed.

As already reported in our original

report

(see below)

, it is not certain that she, as

"patient zero",

is solely responsible

for an increase in

corona infections

in the place.

According to the

Tagesschau

, the

district office

responsible for the woman

could not say whether she was

ordered

or only

advised to

quarantine

after her

Sars-CoV-2 test

(the result of which was still pending at the time)

.

According to the report, the 26-year-old should not have been on a

"pub crawl"

, but only in a

restaurant

the day before her positive test result

.

About 1000 people had

a

corona smear

taken

because of her

last weekend

- on Tuesday it was known that

three tests

were positive.

These newly infected people (people who worked with her) should have a connection with the 26-year-old.

“However: The district office cannot say in any way whether the woman infected her colleagues - or was simply infected there herself.

In any case, further new infections would have had no contact with the woman, "reports the

Tagesschau

.

A note on the mask requirement hangs in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district office: Whether the community really had to do with a “super spreader” becomes more questionable.

Corona outbreak caused by super spreaders in GAP: Further test results are available - residents continue to be unsettled

Update from September 17, 12:45 p.m.:

The

corona outbreak

in

Garmisch-Partenkirchen

seems to be limited.

An

evaluation of

further smears that were taken on Monday at the

corona test station

at the Alpspitz wave pool suggests this assumption.

It is

not a positive Corona case in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

added.

Nevertheless, there remains

a certain amount of

uncertainty

.

Corona outbreak by super spreader in GAP: press conference on results

Update from September 16, 8:11 p.m.:

Speer's initial report 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.

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

.

There is currently also hustle and bustle at the FOS / BOS Erding: a student tested positive for Corona.

Even though she had shown symptoms, she went to school before receiving her result.

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

.
