Corona Munich: Winter Tollwood falls flat - "Can't take responsibility"
"The development of the corona numbers in the last two weeks is so extreme that, despite our very good
hygiene concept
, we
can no longer take responsibility for the health of our visitors and everyone else involved," the organizers now explained.
The necessary
planning security
is also not given.
The festival was originally scheduled from November 25th to December 23rd.
“It hurts our hearts to have to cancel.
But we are convinced that this is the only viable option for us in the current situation, ”said a statement on Friday (23 October).
