Due to extremely high corona numbers in the Berchtesgaden district, curfews come into force.
Meanwhile, the search for the origin of the virus outbreak is ongoing.
The Berchtesgadener Land district has become a Corona * hotspot and even a sad leader in Germany.
According to Prime Minister Markus Söder, a party is apparently the origin of the outbreak and the associated extreme increase in the Corona * numbers.
It may be a private celebration in the 8,000-inhabitant community of Anger.
Anger - In
the Berchtesgadener Land district
,
strict exit
regulations will apply
from 2 p.m. on Tuesday (October 20)
due to the
extremely high corona numbers
.
Bavaria's Prime Minister
Markus Söder
spoke of the measures at a press conference on Monday (October 19) of the “toughest protocol”.
The exit restrictions *, which Söder described as
a kind of "lockdown"
, are to last
until November 2nd
.
Minister of State Michaela Kaniber
announced the final decisions at a press conference on Monday evening, when the seven-day incidence * was already 272.8.
The
rules
are strict: people are
only allowed to
leave
their own apartment
for valid reasons
.
Schools, daycare centers, leisure facilities and restaurants have to close, events are prohibited.
Corona outbreak in Berchtesgadener Land: did private party make circle a hotspot?
Search for origin
But while the
measures have
already been decided, the
question of the origins of the corona outbreak
continues to arise
.
How did the numbers soar so rapidly and make the
Berchtesgadener Land district
the nationwide leader?
The
causes are
currently not
clear
.
This also made
Bavaria's Health Minister Melanie Huml (CSU)
in a statement clearly when they made the
measures
welcomed.
"Rapidly rising Corona * numbers
without obvious clear sources of infection
require rapid action," said the Minister of Health.
But although there is apparently
no “clear focus of infection”
, people keep
talking
about a
party
that could at least be a
possible trigger
.
Markus Söder
addressed this detail in a
press
statement on Monday
.
"
The starting point
was again a corresponding
party,
" said the Prime Minister briefly.
Corona hotspot Berchtesgadener Land: Celebration in the 8,000-inhabitant community of Anger as a trigger?
Söder
did not
say
which
party
it should have been exactly
.
According to an earlier report by Berchtesgadener Anzeiger, it could have been a
celebration in the 8,000-inhabitant community of Anger
.
"The trigger for the
sharp increase in
the number of cases in the
Berchtesgadener Land was located
in the municipality of Anger at a
private party
," said the report from October 14th.
After the celebration, the
mayor of the community
immediately closed the school for one day.
Dr.
Wolfgang Krämer, head of the health department in Traunstein and in Berchtesgadener Land, spoke to the newspaper last week.
"About 60 percent of the
new corona infections can
be traced back to the
hotspot in Anger
, 40 percent we registered via the test center of the district in Bayerisch Gmain and based on reports from the medical practices," Krämer is quoted as saying.

Coronavirus in Berchtesgadener Land: Proximity to Austria as a trigger for high numbers?
Whether the
private celebration in Anger can
actually be identified as the trigger for the
rapid increase in the corona numbers
is currently difficult to determine.
The direct proximity to Austria could also have contributed to the increasing number of cases.
The
neighboring Austrian town of Kuchl
has been in
quarantine
since Friday (October 16)
.
“We live in a
border region
and there are many
direct contacts through commuters and schoolchildren
in the Salzburg region,” said Krämer on Focus Online.
A hotel manager from the Berchtesgadener Land district also suspects that the situation in Austria has contributed to the
deterioration of the situation
.
"There is a possibility that the development in our country will continue to deteriorate due to the development in the neighboring country," said the hotel manager, according to Focus Online.
