Numerous corona cases raise doubts about the opening concept for holiday regions.
Sylt - Several employees of restaurants on the holiday island of Sylt have tested positive for the corona virus *.
This has consequences for more than a thousand tourists who were guests in the pubs and who can now face a quarantine regulation.
It is said to be a total of two restaurants in which seven employees were infected with the corona virus.
29 colleagues of the infected have already been quarantined by the health authorities.

Corona on Sylt - More than 1000 contact persons have already left
As reported by ntv, the district of North Friesland also identified around 1036 contact persons who were on the island as holidaymakers and most of them have already left.
According to a spokesman for the circle, their data is now

Corona pandemic on Sylt: Doubts about the opening concept for holiday regions
Sylt belongs to the district of North Friesland, which is part of a model project for the trial opening of tourism in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
Gastronomy on Sylt has been able to open under strict conditions since May 1st - also in the interior.
Since May 17, tourist trips have generally been possible again as part of the nationwide easing.
Since numerous infections have occurred despite the precautionary measures, the case raises great doubts about the opening concept for holiday regions.
Numerous controls are also said to have found violations of the Corona regulations.
Some of the waiters inside did not wear masks, the curfew was ignored and minimum distances were not observed.

Corona on Sylt - District Administrator expresses concern: "May not give a second Ischgl"
As soon as the infected couple became known, the district administrator of the district of North Friesland, Florian Lorenzen, reprimanded the restaurateurs on the island: “No second Ischgl may be built in North Friesland,” he said, according to ntv.
In winter 2020, the Austrian ski resort of Ischgl became the starting point for the corona virus to spread across Europe.
Authorities had made big mistakes in implementing the quarantine regulations.
Lorenzen ordered a total of 20 restaurants to reduce the number of their guests by half.
According to the authorities, there are currently 25 people infected with corona and 210 people who are in quarantine on Sylt.
