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.

"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.

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
.
