Update from September 20:

Due to the increasing number of

corona infections,

Munich is

threatened with

stricter rules in the city area.

The critical

incidence

value in the city

climbed

to

55.6

on Sunday

, again over the alarm mark of 50.

Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD)

told tz that on Monday the crisis team made up of politicians, police and administration would deal with the issue deal.

The value of

50 new infections per week and 100,000 inhabitants

is considered an important threshold in the fight against the

corona pandemic

;

if it is exceeded, increased infection control measures are provided.

In Bavaria there is also a first corona warning value of 35.

The city had

reported

78 new corona cases

for

Saturday

.

A total of 10,659 infections have been confirmed in the state capital so far.

This figure includes 9,032 people who have already recovered and 223 deaths.

If the numbers steadied so well above 50, "I think we will probably halve the number of participants allowed for private celebrations and limit the topic of celebrations in public spaces," said

Reiter

.

Stricter rules for the

WirtshausWiesn

are also possible.

“The pictures of the Viktualienmarkt, where many people can be seen standing tightly together with no distance or face mask, must not be repeated.” He wanted to

speak

to the

police

and the security authorities

on Monday morning

before decisions are made.

In # Munich, 78 new # coronavirus cases were confirmed for Saturday, September 19 (as of 11:59 p.m.).

The

schools and child care

open on Monday initially planned.

Munich politicians from the

SPD, Greens and CSU

indicated at the weekend that restrictions should primarily apply to

leisure and gastronomy

.

Munich is becoming a Corona hotspot: "We have to look closely at how the numbers are created"

The

mask requirement at Munich schools

will continue.

SPD leader Anne Huebner

said: “We have to look closely at how the numbers are created.

If travel returnees are mainly responsible for the increases, there is no point in closing schools.

Because chains of infection can be easily understood there.

In addition, families have already suffered enough. "

In the Garmisch-Parteinkirchen market, the nightlife was ended a week ago with an incidence value of 54.

The gastronomy has to close at 10 p.m. since then.

Only groups of a maximum of five people are allowed in the entire public space.

In addition to

Munich

Corona hotspot Munich: new infections continue to rise - city confirms breakdown in corona numbers

Update from September 19, 4:07 p.m.:

The

corona situation

in the state capital is getting worse.

After the

7-day incidence

on Friday exceeded the crucial threshold of 50 infected per 100,000 inhabitants for the first time, the indicator continues to rise.

On Saturday it is now 54.2

infected

per 100,000 inhabitants.

When reporting on Saturday, however, there was a breakdown, which is why different values ​​were reported.

"Due to an IT transmission error, the 130 new cases of

infection

are not yet included in the statistics of the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) and are therefore not included in the calculation of the 7-day incidence of the LGL for Munich," said the city .

According to official reports, there have been 10,583 confirmed

corona infections

in Munich

since the beginning of the pandemic

.

8929 people are considered recovered, 223 have died as a result of Covid-19.

Corona hotspot Munich: Mayor Reiter talks about possible consequences

Update from September 19, 12:41 p.m.: What

measures will the crisis team advise on Monday?

Mayor Dieter Reiter has already specified that, as

can be seen from

his

statements quoted

on

muenchen.de

.

A reduction in the number of people at private celebrations from 100 to 50 or from 200 to 100 is in the room.

“ 

 We also discussed

extending the blocking period

.

We will

 discuss

these measures - reducing the number of people for private celebrations, extending the blocking period -

on Monday in the crisis team

, when the numbers for the weekend are available, "said Reiter.

Should the blocking time be changed, it would especially hurt the battered

gastronomy

.

After all, many bars are only now allowed to reopen after having been closed for months.

It would probably be manageable for visitors to drink their beer earlier.

But the lack of sales would be very uncomfortable for the hosts.

Corona in Munich: Crisis team meets on Monday

Update from September 19, 11.00 a.m.:

The

city ​​of Munich

is probably taking its time to react to the exceeded limit of 50 new corona infections per week and 100,000 inhabitants.

A

crisis team

is supposed to meet on Monday

, but

Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD)

told Bayerischer Rundfunk: “I don't think we will take any further measures on Monday.

Instead, the value would either have to rise more significantly or


stay above 50 for a

longer

period of time.

We won't see that until the middle of next week, at the end of next week. ”Then the next decisions would be made.

Update from September 19, 8:59 a.m

.: The Theresienwiese

remained largely empty

on the morning of the originally planned

Oktoberfest start

.

While

the

race for places

in one of the tents would

normally have

been largely decided

on the first

Saturday of the Oktoberfest

at

8:00 a.m.

, on Saturday the area was largely quiet.

The Oktoberfest is canceled this year due to the

corona pandemic

Update from September 19, 8:35 a.m

.: “Ozapft is!” Is the

motto

this Saturday in many Munich inns despite Corona - and Lord Mayor

Dieter Reiter (SPD)

therefore admonishes the

landlords

: “Please always ensure that you comply with your protection and protection regulations Hygiene concept - mask requirement, distance requirement and all other requirements of the Bavarian Infection Protection Ordinance.

Above all, you have it in your own hands

to prevent

further restrictions

through the necessary sensitivity and mindfulness, ”says Reiter according to

dpa

.

With an urgent appeal, the mayor takes action against fears that it could be particularly wild on this symbolic day on which the Oktoberfest would have opened.

Clemens Baumgärtner

,

the Munich economics officer and municipal

Wiesn boss,

appealed to

Bayerischer Rundfunk:

"Go to the pub of your choice, whether at home or in Munich, don't go to the Oktoberfest, celebrate in the pub, that's just better." or is

caught

selling alcohol on the

Theresienwiese

, you must

expect

a

fine

.

For fear of possible wild Oktoberfest parties, an

alcohol ban

applies here on Saturday

.

A large number of those willing to

party had

arranged

to have

parties

on the Theresienwiese

in advance via social media

.

In view of the high number of corona infections

(see original report)

, the city

leaders made

an urgent appeal to Munich

residents to stay away from

the

Wiesn area

.

Munich now Corona hotspot: Critical value exceeded - Reiter threatens with specific measures

Update September 18, 8:07 p.m.:

Tomorrow the WirtshausWiesn starts in 54 restaurants in Munich, celebrities tap in many places and at the same time Munich tears the value 50 at the 7-day incidence per 100,000 inhabitants.

A value that should actually automatically result in a consistent restriction concept.

At least that is the agreement between the Chancellor and the country leaders in May this year.

Read a classification here: What the current situation means for the new Corona hotspot Munich, how the numbers are to be assessed - and what follows now.

Update, 5.13 p.m.:

Second Mayor Katrin Habenschaden (Greens) also speaks out.

On Monday, the Corona crisis team will talk about further steps.

Until then, there is no need to panic, "but the situation is serious".

The incidence value in Munich is now 50.7.

We will discuss what measures will follow on Monday in the #Corona crisis team.

There is no need to panic, but the situation is serious.

Therefore: mask, distance, hygiene.

Important: the schools and daycare centers remain open.

Update, 4:05 p.m.:

After the limit of

50 new infections per 100,000

inhabitants was

broken

in Munich today, the

mayor has now spoken out.

One will first

wait

for the further

development on the weekend in

order to then discuss measures on the coming Monday (September 21).

All regulations remain in force until then.

Only the

mask requirement

for pupils from the 5th grade

remains

.

Corona in Munich: the city tears down the border - concrete restrictions threaten

If the

trend is confirmed

, there are already concrete considerations regarding

appropriate measures

: “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, "said Reiter.

Munich tears the corona border: Reiter speaks of concrete measures

The

mayor also appealed to the people of Munich

to be vigilant and careful.

Compliance with the rules is of great importance, said Mayor Dieter Reiter.

Update, 2:25 p.m.:

In Munich, 141 new corona cases were reported for Thursday, September 17 (as of 11:59 p.m.).

A total of 10,454 infections have so far been confirmed in the state capital.

This figure includes 8,814 people who have already recovered and 223 deaths.

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.

#Muenchen exceeds the incidence value of 50 with 144 new corona infections. In the past seven days, 50.7 people per 100,000 inhabitants have been infected with the #corona virus.

This is reported by the LGL.

- Marc Kniepkamp (@MK_Muc) September 18, 2020

Update September 18, 10:57

a.m.:

The

mask requirement

for all Bavarian

students

from the fifth grade

ends

as planned on Friday.

"The nine days of a special mask requirement (...) made sense," said Minister of Education

Michael Piazolo

(Free Voters) on Friday in

Munich

.

After almost two weeks of lessons, the

risk

of

returning travelers is

no longer the same as at the beginning of the school year.

Therefore, a general obligation to wear an everyday mask is no longer necessary from next week.

However, it

can be re-arranged locally at any time

, depending on the

local

infection

.

Corona Munich: Confusion about numbers - OB Reiter buttons up RKI

Original

report

from September 18:

Munich - Chaos around the

Corona numbers

in Munich *: The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) and the State Office for Health (LGL) use

an old population as a basis

for calculating the

seven-day incidence

.

The basis is the value of the Federal Statistical Office from December 31, 2018 - 1.47 million.

In fact, as of July 31, 2020, the city is already reporting 1.56 million inhabitants - i.e. 90,000 more.

Corona numbers in Munich: This is the "real" seven-day incidence - OB Reiter rages

The

true seven-day incidence

 - it says the number of new cases reported per 100,000 population for the last seven days - would be lower than the 47.6 reported on Thursday.

If this value is over 50, there could be restrictions in public life.

A high number of new infections * was also reported on Thursday with 151 corona cases.

According to an LGL spokesman, an

update of the population is

planned.

But you can't say when.

It's not the only inconsistency: The RKI reported 324 new cases on Thursday - and suddenly the value reported by the Koch Institute rose from 34.0 to 47.6 overnight.

Mayor Dieter Reiter complains: "There must finally be clarity about the discrepancy in the numbers."

Covid-19 patients in Munich: The current status in the city's hospitals

While cases are skyrocketing, the coronavirus is currently not as serious a problem medically * as it was in the earlier course of the pandemic.

The last

death in Munich

was on August 10th.

It was the only person to have died in the past two months.

All of the other 222 coronavirus-related deaths occurred from March to mid-July.

At that time, around 7,100 infections were confirmed, now there are 10,311 (according to RKI 10,324).

Sorry, but it is right not to let fans into the Allianz Arena.

The number of infections in Munich has risen significantly again in the last few days.

We support OB Reiter: Caution is required.

We must not take unnecessary risks

- Markus Söder (@Markus_Soeder) September 17, 2020

Nevertheless, there are currently few infected people who become seriously ill.

One reason: the average age of the newly reported cases has dropped significantly.

The Munich Clinic reports

consistently low treatment numbers

.

At the end of July, eleven

Covid 19 patients were

treated

in the five locations

.

There are currently 15, four of them in the intensive care unit.

At the peak in mid-April, there were 200 sick people.

When asked, clinic spokesman Raphael Diecke said: "Our experts are assuming that the number of patients will increase slightly again."
