Due to the high risk of infection, visitors are currently not allowed to come to the prison - a far-reaching incision for the prisoners.

That would be a waste of resources at the moment. Our doctors need them. "

Corona virus in Munich: Many citizens want to enjoy the sun at the weekend

Origin message:

Munich - The corona virus keeps Munich in suspense. The number of newly infected continues to increase every day, a flattening of the curve, which is currently a major goal, is not yet evident. A total of 2,256 cases (as of Sunday, 1.30 p.m.) have now been reported. Despite the strict exit restrictions, countless Munich residents were drawn to the hot spots of the state capital on Saturday in the most beautiful spring weather.

Whether on the Isar , in the English Garden or in one of the many city parks - you would not have known that hardly anything is normal at the moment - you would hardly have noticed. The police therefore had their hands full: the police counted a total of 7,000 controls and 344 violations of the exit restrictions from Saturday 6 a.m. to Sunday 6 a.m. In the coming days, the urge to go outside should not be quite as big - winter reported back in the state capital at the beginning of the week.

Coronavirus in Munich: runoff election in the sign of the crisis

Despite the common theme, the corona virus , many Munich citizens took part in the runoff election for the mayor. However, the choice is likely to be a rare rarity at the moment when it comes to not talking about the Corona crisis. Reason is not the same for all people in Munich. Many want to test for the virus in times of crisis - but this often leads to major problems.

Coronavirus: MVV changes timetable - many lines affected

Effects are also noticeable on public transport. The U3 basically runs every 10 minutes. In the rush hours, individual booster rides are also offered. The U4 runs all day long trains every 10 minutes. The amplifier line U7 runs shortened in the section between Sendlinger Tor and Rotkreuzplatz. Please change to lines U1 , U2 and U5 .

The Tram 29 amplifier line is also not in use. Here you should switch to tram lines 18 , 19 , 20 and 21 . In addition, there are no individual trips that are carried out on school days especially for schoolchildren. It is explicitly pointed out that these changes are not stored in the electronic information systems.

The Munich S-Bahn runs every 20 to Monday (without weekdays) every 20 minutes per line according to the Saturday schedule. Longer waiting times in the cold do not necessarily sound attractive to commuters.
