.: 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.

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.
