Quite icy conditions prevailed during an extraordinary excursion by the city council.
The traveling circus stopped in Munich-Fröttmaning.
What is the current corona situation?
On Thursday, the Munich City Council * moved its meeting to the northern periphery of Fröttmaning.
The climatic
conditions in the Reitpalast
were suboptimal.
It will have been the only trip there.
In terms of content, it was mainly about the corona pandemic *.
There is a nuisance on the Theresienwiese.
Munich - Gallop in the Fröttmaninger Showpalast: The Munich City Council met on Thursday (November 19) where the horses at the Apassionata Show had in previous years.
It was a
corona-related excursion
to the outskirts of the city.
Because in the large meeting room of the town hall the distances between the 80 elected mandate holders could not have been kept.
In the previous months, the general assembly had already
become
a
traveling circus
: The German Theater, the Philharmonie des Gasteig and the Löwenbräukeller were the settings.
Munich: Corona shaping city council meeting - current development gives hope
The Showpalast should
remain
a
unique pleasure
.
Whereby pleasure is probably the wrong expression: The temperatures in the spacious event hall were at refrigerator level.
One could well and happily have met outdoors.
Most city councilors should be happy that
Mayor Dieter Reiter
(SPD) will no longer gather his group in the Horse Palace.
The central point of the meeting was - unsurprisingly - the development of the corona pandemic *.
After all, the head of the city's crisis team, fire department chief Wolfgang Schäuble, was able to report a positive trend.
The
incidence
curve flattens out.
Munich was on Thursday at a value of 165 newly reported cases per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days.
The number of intensive care patients in Munich is far
below the national average
.
The situation in the old people's homes is also under control, said Schäuble.
According to social affairs officer Dorothee Schiwy (SPD), 20,000 tests will be carried out in the Münchenstift buildings from December onwards, every week for employees and every two weeks for residents.
The city wants to continue regular operations in the schools because there are no abnormalities with regard to any particular risk of infection.
Munich: Corona tests on Theresienwiese - "Very annoying" behavior of some citizens
Problems and delays recently occurred with the follow-up of contact persons and the quick notification of those who tested positive.
Infected people had to wait up to five days for the message.
The city wants to improve this.
From December 1st, 400 workplaces will be set up centrally in a hall on the exhibition grounds, all of which are dedicated to contact tracing.
Until now, this task was spread across eight locations.
According to health officer Beatrix Zurek (SPD), those who tested positive are now usually informed in writing the next day.
11,200 people can currently be tested per week on the Theresienwiese.
Around
700 citizens
do not keep their appointments, which is "very annoying", as Schäuble said.
"This unnecessarily blocks capacity."
The project to make the city center largely car-free has made a step forward.
The city council recently approved further investigations to reduce the number of cars allowed into the valley.
