The municipality of Bernbeuren is undoubtedly a hotspot in the current corona crisis in the Weilheim-Schongau district.
The trigger was a private party.
The community of 2,444 people in Bernbeuren is a true Corona hotspot.
The place in the Weilheim-Schongau district has a comparatively high number of new infections.
The trigger was a private party.
Bernbeuren
- The local physician Dr.
Rupert Holzamer alone in his practice in the past 14 days.
The trigger was a
private party
.
Extrapolated to 100,000 inhabitants, the 2444 community on the Auerberg would very likely be at the top of the
7-day incidence
.
According to the general practitioner in Bernbeur, such an extrapolation is of course not permitted for a single municipality.
That is why there is no
“local shutdown”
.
Holzamer admits, however, that the spread of the
virus
“got a little
out of control
”.
In many cases one can no longer understand the infections.
