.: The district of

Berchtesgadener Land

is in

lockdown

Since Tuesday (October 20), strict exit rules have been in place, according to which the population may only leave their home for valid reasons.

The way to work is therefore still allowed.

warned

the residents of the southeasternmost district of Bavaria to be careful.

irritating

The

CSU politicians

come from the

Berchtesgadener Land

.

The 43-year-old was born in

Bad Reichenhall

and lives in

Bayerisch Gmain

.

Despite the precarious situation in her home district,

Kaniber

went to

Munich

,

135 kilometers away

,

on Wednesday to

attend both the CSU parliamentary group meeting and the later government statement by

Prime Minister Markus Söder

(CSU) in the state parliament.

Of course, none of this is forbidden, as the way to work is expressly excluded from the lockdown rules.

Nonetheless, Kaniber's behavior made some of her party friends shake their heads.

Bayerischer Rundfunk quotes unnamed CSU MPs with statements such as "That makes a strange picture", "Hopefully it has been tested" or "I would not have come in your place."

Kaniber

himself defended her coming to the

BR

and referred to the necessity of appearing.

At the CSU parliamentary group meeting, the Minister of Agriculture should have presented her report on the fertilizer ordinance and could not have been represented.

In addition,

Kaniber

said he

had tested

negative for

Covid-19

on Tuesday anyway

.

Corona lockdown in Berchtesgadener Land: Big worries in the tourism industry - party is considering complaining

First report: Berchtesgaden

- In the southeasternmost district of Bavaria - in the

Berchtesgadener Land

- a

lockdown

has been in effect since Tuesday afternoon (October 20th)

.

The number of cases in the border area with

Austria has been

extremely high

for days

.

According to the State Office for Health and Food Safety

, the

7-day incidence

value

(as of October 21) was

262.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants

.

It is still unclear why the numbers are so high here of all places.

One reason could have been a private birthday party in a garage in Stoißberg.

Corona in Berchtesgadener Land: Hotels and restaurants are threatened

The

new

lockdown is

a severe blow

for

hoteliers

,

innkeepers

and other

tourism businesses

.

Only business travelers are allowed to travel to the region in the next 14 days, reports br24.de.

Bars, ice cream parlors and cinemas have immediately ceased operations.

Around

2500 tourists

have already left the district.

There is an eerie calm in most towns and cities.

Especially the

Free Voters

(FW) do not like that.

The FW parliamentary group in the

Schönau am Königssee

local council

criticized the

lockdown

as disproportionate in a press release.

"It's tough now for the people in Berchtesgaden, it's been a tough two or three weeks."

Health Minister @jensspahn on ZDF special about the exit restrictions in Berchtesgadener Land.

Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn

(CDU), on the other hand, welcomes the measures in the

Berchtesgadener Land

: “This is now tough for the people in

Berchtesgaden

, it's a tough two or three weeks.

But it is two or three weeks that help bring this infection * back under control really efficiently.

And in the end that is better than acting with entry restrictions (...) then within Germany.

So I think what the

Bavarian state government is

doing is just right, ”said

Spahn

.

The Bavarian coalition partner of the

CSU

sees it differently.

The

free voters

would have

liked

a more sensitive approach to the

tourism industry

.

One reserves the right to have the proportionality

checked

by a competent

administrative court

.

Corona in Berchtesgadener Land: Aiwanger calls for help for hotspots

FW boss Hubert Aiwanger

is not quite as radical as his party colleagues from

Berchtesgadener Land

.

He only calls for “quick and unbureaucratic help” for companies and businesses in an area that

is affected

by a

“local lockdown”

, a spokesman said on Wednesday.

According to

Aiwanger, the

money for this aid should

come

from

state funds

.

But nothing is ready to be said yet, the spokesman continued.

The idea would have to be

discussed

in the

coalition

.

In the

Berchtesgadener Land

it is now hoped that the measures will bear fruit and the

incidence

value will

fall

during the 14-day

lockdown

.

District Administrator Bernhard Kern

(CSU) would be happy if the number fell back to 100 by November 9th.

Then

the

autumn vacation

ends in

Bavaria

.

He very much hopes that normal

school operations will

then be possible again.

Schools and daycare centers are currently closed.
