The press conference with District Administrator Bernhard Kern in the live ticker.
In the Berchtesgadener Land district, the number of corona * infections has risen extremely.
The district now occupies a sad top position in Germany in the Corona * crisis.
Therefore exit restrictions apply from Tuesday, 2 p.m.
According to Prime Minister Markus Söder, the “starting point” for the high numbers was probably a party (
see update from October 19, 2:31 pm
).
This ticker is updated continuously.
You can also read all other developments in the Corona crisis in the Free State in our news ticker for Bavaria.
3:59 p.m.:
The question of the
origin of the infection
follows again
.
Among other things, Prime Minister Markus Söder
spoke
of a "
party
"
on Monday
.
“
Infections
always arise from
private celebrations
.
The fact that a
celebration was
decisive
in the district
was certainly not the case.
It can certainly
not be traced back to a single celebration
, ”says Kern.
Dr.
Krämer from the health department confirms this. "I cannot confirm that the
celebrations mentioned are the
cause of the current situation," he says.
You have "
a diffuse event
".
To celebrate
would have contributed to "increased numbers".
However, they were not decisive for the location of the district.
3:54 p.m.:
The following is a question about
corona tests on departing holidaymakers
.
“To the best of my knowledge, there are no
tests
.
The
hoteliers
and private landlords will induce their vacationers to leave the accommodations, ”says
Kern
shortly.
Exit restrictions in the hotspot Berchtesgadener Land: press conference NOW live - the question of origin arises
3:47 p.m.:
Now questions from journalists follow.
A journalist asks about the
origin of the surge in the corona numbers
.
“You can't tell,” says District Administrator Kern.
There are infections in many facilities in the district.
“It's not that a church is conspicuous.
I can only say: “
Diffuse infection rates in the district
.” No particularly high
infection rate
can be identified
at the borders
.
Kern also comments on
departing vacationers
.
“Unfortunately, vacationers are being fired from the hotels.” Private landlords would also have had to send their guests home.
Exact numbers are currently not yet known.
3:39 p.m.:
Now
school authority director Klaus Biersack
expresses himself
.
"Starting today, 2 pm, all schools will be closed," he emphasizes.
He said he was particularly sorry for first graders.
But one stands “all the more behind the measures”.
Even if they are a "bitter pill" and a
great challenge
, also for the parents
.
Up to
grade six there
will be
emergency care
.
Disabled children have priority, as do children with parents in systemically important professions and single parents.
"We are in good spirits that we
will be able to start
classes
again on November 9th,
" Biersack continued.
3:31 p.m.:
Currently,
visit regulations in clinics have to be
severely limited, says
Dr.
Wolfgang Krämer
from the
health department
.
Wearing mouth and nose protection continues to be an extremely important rule, also in schools.
It can also
protect
young people
.

taken
are necessary to break the chains of infection.
3:22 p.m.:
The
district
currently has a lot of responsibility.
Support comes from all
the mayors concerned
.
One hopes to "ultimately get back to a double-digit
incidence
value".
3:20 p.m .:
The
general
decree
, which applies from 2 p.m., is on “good, reliable feet”.
It was "not a great task" to issue these, so Kern.
The
measures
should only apply for a short period of time, for 14 days.
It is hoped that afterwards the
infection
numbers will have been reduced and that normal
school operations
will be able to resume

Corona "Lockdown" in Berchtesgadener Land: Dehoga questions tourism stop - "No operation will survive"
Update from October 20, 2:21 p.m.:
The
Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association Dehoga
criticizes the
corona-related tourism stop
in Berchtesgadener Land.
"We do not understand why there has to be a compulsory closure of all accommodation providers from now on," said
President Angela Inselkammer
.
The hotels had
hygiene concepts in place
, the guests stayed in separate residential units and were registered.
"In order to avoid further spread, it would be more productive to let the guests live in the establishments and to test them before departure."
The
measures
are a "deep and painful blow for our more than
battered hotel and gastronomy
", continues Inselkammer.
They hope "that the locally and temporally limited measure
can prevent
a
widespread lockdown
".
In addition, the
Dehoga President called for
quick help for the companies concerned.
"The
hospitality sales
will be zero for two weeks - no
business
will get through that anymore."

Corona “lockdown” in Berchtesgadener Land: Hundreds of tourists leave - memories of lockdown in spring
Update from October 20, 1:02 p.m.:
The
strict exit
restrictions
in
the Berchtesgadener Land district
also forced hundreds of holiday guests to leave today, Tuesday (October 20) (
see update from October 20, 12.35 p.m.
).
The
Berchtesgaden Tourism
GmbH estimated the number of guests staying in the
mountain idyll around Watzmann and Koenigssee
wanted to spend some the autumn holidays, to just under 2500. The
summer
was indeed even gone to some accommodation facilities better than the previous year, a spokeswoman said.
But: “In some cases, the
damage from the spring
has not even been
compensated.” The
lockdown
had caused hoteliers and hosts heavy losses at the time.
There wo
n't be many cancellations in the near future
- because most
guests
have held back with long-term planning anyway.
The
lasting effect of
the
high numbers and exit
restrictions depends not least on "how long it takes and how badly the
image
is
damaged
."

"The fact that we have to
send
guests
away makes
our
hearts bleed," said a host in
Berchtesgaden
.
"It's really bitter." But also: "It's consistent."
In the afternoon,
District Administrator Bernhard Kern
wants to
comment on the situation and the current figures.

supports the
exit
restrictions imposed on
the

Christmas business will
be lower again, it said.

Jenner

district

In doing so, they help us

a
general lockdown throughout Germany

not arbitrary
measures
to make life difficult for people, but that they are necessary to protect other people on site," Altmaier continued.

to break
the
infection dynamics
that we've been seeing for about ten days."

Public life must be shut down.
“There is no other way,” said Söder.
The contacts of the infected could no longer be traced there.
“So
contacts
have to be
fundamentally restricted
,” he said.
The response will be very consistent and very clear.
"It will be the
toughest protocol
that we will have here now."
Corona in Berchtesgaden: Markus Söder comments on hotspot at a press conference
The Berchtesgaden district is comparatively sparsely populated with a population density of 126 per square kilometer.
It
is not exactly clear
how the
wave of infection
came
about
.
“The starting point was again a corresponding
party,
” said Söder.
May come
more foci of infection
in question.
Also the proximity to Austria urges drastic measures, explained the

district of Berchtesgadener Land has
counted 118 new corona infections since last Friday alone, as the district office announced on Monday (October 19).

700 contact persons are in quarantine at home
.

Corona numbers "explode" in Berchtesgadener Land: incidence of 252.1 - sad top rank
Update from October 19, 11:37 a.m.:
The sad leader in terms of the
number of new corona infections
in Germany is now the
Berchtesgadener Land
.
As the
picture
reports, a
seven-day incidence of 252.1 has
now
been reached.
Therefore, the
crisis team is
currently meeting in the Bavarian district
.
Last Saturday (October 17th) the value was 149.16.
Despite
stricter measures
, it has continued to rise, the picture continues.
At the weekend there was
a major police operation
in a
shisha bar
in Berchtesgadener Land (
see first report from October 18
).
In Bavaria's biggest hotspot: Corona chaos in a shisha bar - police have to intervene in Berchtesgadener Land
First report from October 18, 2020:
Freilassing
- Just last Wednesday,
Prime Minister Markus Söder
(CSU)
announced
a
curfew
in the
corona pandemic
in
Bavaria
.
This means that from a
7-day incidence value
of 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, catering establishments must close at 10 p.m.
A
shisha bar operator
in
Freilassing
in Upper Bavaria
(Berchtesgadener Land district) did not take it so seriously.
And
the 30-year-old also saw
compliance with other
Corona *
rules
rather loosely.
Police check in shisha bar: Over 100 guests despite curfew
Well after 10:00 p.m., around 10:35 p.m., the
Freilassing police
checked
a
shisha bar
for compliance with the
corona restrictions
.
The officers found several
violations
.
Initially, over 100 people
were present
in the
bar
at this time
.
However, a maximum of 80 was allowed. In addition, the operator should have closed at 10 p.m., because the
Berchtesgadener Land
is the sad Corona front runner in
Bavaria
in terms of the
7-day incidence number *
.
There were
134.05 cases of infection
per 100,000 inhabitants
on Friday
.
After all, the 30-year-old operator was able to present a
hygiene concept
for the
shisha bar
.
But very few guests seemed to be holding on to it.
And
the restaurateur did not
keep
a mandatory
guest list
either.
However, there
were no
major incidents during the
inspection
.
The guests left
the
bar
without
resistance
and
wearing a mask
.

Police chief of the police in Upper Bavaria-South makes an urgent appeal
Due to the currently very strong increase in the number of infections, the Upper Bavaria South Police Headquarters has intensified police control activities and will strictly monitor compliance with the applicable regulations.
Especially in so-called hotspot regions with high incidence values, those who do not understand have to reckon with a consequent punishment for their wrongdoing.
Hence my appeal: It is very important for all of us to observe the applicable rules and restrictions.
Every infection with the corona virus is one too many!
Show solidarity, show consideration and take responsibility for yourself and others!
You can save lives by keeping your distance and wearing mouth and nose protection!
Robert Kopp, Chief of Police Police Headquarters Upper Bavaria South
Police control in Freilassing: fine for the operator
The
Freilassing police are
also responsible for the
further
investigations
into the case
.
The recorded violations were also passed on to the
Berchtesgadener Land district
office.
It is already foreseeable that the
bar operator can
expect
a heavy
fine
