Now the corona virus has also caught the Red Cross. A carnival ball was fatal to the aid organization.
Freising– The good news: The rescue service is still fully operational - only the administration can only work to a limited extent. The public was stopped, the clothing store closed.
Fatal carnival ball
The employee of the Freising BRK administration most likely infected the first infected person at the carnival in Au, reports Söhl. Like other contact persons, she was tested after slight symptoms of illness appeared. The woman is now one of 17 corona infected people in the Freising Clinic. "Her health is actually good," reports Söhl, "the course of the infection is not serious".
A week ago, on Thursday, February 27, Söhl spent almost two hours with this employee, another accountant and the head of the emergency services. The four of them made the annual accounts - which is why this round is now under quarantine. The head of the ambulance service has already been tested negatively. He still has to stay at home for the time being.

The emergency services and nursing services, which function as separate departments, are not affected.
Further quarantine cases are imminent
By the way, the BRK boss is not bored at home: "I can also work from home and make non-stop calls," reports Albert Söhl. Since he is no longer allowed to leave his apartment, relatives provide Albert Söhl with groceries. "But they can only put them in front of my door," says the interned BRK manager, "and we can only talk through the closed door."
If Söhl is tested positive, there will be additional new contacts who are at risk of quarantine. The day after the annual meeting, Söhl took part in a conference of the working group of social associations - with the heads of Lebenshilfe, Caritas and Diakonie - and the press ...
