New infections: second largest increase in Germany
Friday, August 21, 12.33 p.m., Ebersberg: The Robert Koch Institute, which publishes the nationwide infection figures every day, reported a seven-day incidence value of 34.5 for the Ebersberg district on Friday. This is the second highest value nationwide - only the independent city of Offenbach is significantly higher with a value of 52.0. The unit value indicates how many people in a district, calculated per 100,000 inhabitants, have been infected with the Sars-Cov-2 virus in the past seven days.
This enables a nationwide comparability of the statistics. The value in the Ebersberg district remains just below the first warning threshold of 35 before the weekend, at which the local health department must notify the higher-level authorities and explore possible measures. In the event of an increase over 50, a value agreed nationwide among the federal states, easing would have to be withdrawn and new restrictions put into effect.
Coronavirus infections in the Ebersberg district: crisis team meets
In view of the new developments, the crisis team met in the Ebersberg district office, as it did several times this week. Possible scenarios were also discussed how a further increase in the number of cases could be countered. When asked, the office did not want to predict how this could work with reference to the daily changing situation.
As a spokeswoman said, the increase in infections is largely due to positive tests by travelers returning who were traveling in south-eastern Europe. The district clinic is currently treating two infected people and five suspected cases, none of which are dependent on intensive care medicine. The spokeswoman explains this with the younger age average of those who tested positive. "The number of that may be unsettling, but not the effects," is her conclusion on the increasing number of infections over the past week.
Rapid increase: Deputy of the district administrator: "To find causes outside the district"
At the request of the Ebersberger Zeitung, Walter Brilmayer also spoke up. Ebersberg's former mayor is deputy district administrator and represents incumbent Robert Niedergesäß (CSU), who is currently on vacation. Brilmayer had a statement announced through the district office's press office:
"The rapid rise in numbers of cases in the district and the associated 7-day incidence of nearly 35 is of course alarming, but God also understand you and in most cases, the tests of travelers returning to explain. In this context, I am somewhat reassured that the causes are decentralized and can be found outside the district .
Nonetheless, with the first increase in the number of cases on Monday, the district joined forces to prevent possible chains of infection at an early stage. Individual, targeted measures are currently not indicated as the cases cannot be traced back to a hotspot in the district. Of course, we are nevertheless highly sensitized and reserve the right to take any steps should these become necessary. "
Thanks to responsible travelers and district citizens
Brilmayer continues: “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those returning from traveling who have been tested responsibly when they entered Bavaria. It is of course more than bitter to have to end your own vacation with a quarantine, but it shows that our district citizens act with foresight and are committed to the general public. We can only protect ourselves and our loved ones by acting responsibly, including adhering to all hygiene rules, whether at home or when traveling. "
District administrator suddenly finds himself in a risk area
Ebersberg's district administrator Robert Niedergesäß himself is currently on vacation in Mallorca. During his stay, the island, like most of Spain, was declared a risk area by the Robert Koch Institute. "He and his fellow travelers will of course be tested and adhere to all medical requirements", emphasizes the district office spokeswoman. This also includes a quarantine phase until a negative test result is received. The vacation is planned until August 31, around one The district administrator would return to the Ebersberg district the week before and use a few more days of vacation at home.
