Corona in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: Corona traffic light jumps to red - new regulations come into force
One thing is very important to him: “We are trying everything, so that we stick to the values as low as possible.” That is why the
Corona test station is
running
, which the district paid around 220,000 euros for the first month of September alone Construction and the staff has kept going at
peak activity
.
“We even tested on Sunday,” explains Speer.
Over the
weekend,
it is always decided at short notice how big the rush is.
And it's still immense.

Corona in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district: Mandatory mouthguards for primary school children are not tipped
The district only reached the yellow phase of the Bavarian corona traffic light on Friday evening (October 23), only three days later it is now
red
.
This brings with it some important changes: The further
tightening of
the
curfew
for
restaurants
from
11
p.m.
to 10
p.m. and the
mask requirement,
which will also apply to all
primary school students
in the district for lessons,
will be
decisive
.
"I know that we will get a lot of
pressure from
our
parents
especially for this
," emphasizes Speer.
"But we are concerned with the health of the children as well as the entire district population." Therefore, the district administrator is already making it clear: "We will
not move away
from this
regulation

Rising corona numbers in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district: second highest pandemic level reached
Legally, the new situation is not a major state act.
This is assured by Jan Knopp, head of the public security office in the district authority.
When the 50 mark is exceeded, the regulations of the Seventh Bavarian
Infection Protection Measures Ordinance
for this
pandemic level
automatically come into force.
“We don't have to arrange anything for this,” explains Knopp.
It will take effect the next day after it is first mentioned - so it is called in official German.
In plain language: on Tuesday (October 27th) since midnight.
At the same time, there is still the
general
decree of
the district in which the
mask requirement
for
livelier
zones and streets in the four largest communities Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Murnau, Mittenwald and Oberammergau is stipulated.
“This continues to apply, we don't have to renew it because we are now in the
red phase
,” emphasizes Knopp.
This came into force on October 25th and will run until November 8th.
There are currently no plans to designate other zones in smaller towns: "We discussed this with the municipalities," says Knopp.
"These places are usually not that crowded, not so many people come together."
Strict corona measures in Garmisch-Partenkirchen: visiting rules in the clinic tightened
Meanwhile, the
obligation to wear masks
in the large municipalities has now also been made visible.
In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the employees of the building yard raised
signs
at traffic lights and at neuralgic points in the protection zones.
This is also planned in Murnau.
“Because it is difficult to inform everyone about it.
After all, not everyone has the newspaper or looks at the information board for the community, ”says Kreszentia Oppenrieder, manager of the Murnau market town.
The police also saw her on patrol through Ober- and Untermarkt at noon.
"They also made people aware of the
mask requirement
."
As one of the first larger facilities in the region, the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Clinic reacted immediately to the 50s incidence and
tightened
the
visiting rules again.
"From now on, only one person named by the patient and registered by the clinic will have access every day," emphasizes Gudrun Stadler, press spokeswoman for the clinic.
Up to now, one visitor without a specific name per patient was allowed.
