Tegernsee
- Finally the flag was hoisted on the pirate ship: On Friday, the
city of Tegernsee opened
the
new playground in the spa garden
to the public after several months of construction - and there was immediate
trouble
about the
new attraction
.
Because many families were curious about the games paradise and the weather was also showing its best side,
numerous parents and children
romped
around the
site
at the same time
on the
weekend

Corona hotspot in Tegernsee?
Parents and children flock to the new playground at the weekend
Dr.
Andreas Busse,
pediatrician in Tegernsee
, is
appalled
: He speaks of a
“Corona hotspot”
and
urgently
calls on
Mayor
Johannes Hagn in a letter to “change the
situation
”.
A father from Tegernsee also wrote to our newspaper: "You have already asked yourself today whether Corona does not exist in a playground."

Father from Tegernsee
According to Busse, “bunches of
children and families
”
were already crowding
the
playground
on Friday
- close together,
without any distance, without mouth and nose protection
.
Addressing the city of Tegernsee, the doctor asks the question: "How on earth do you get the idea of
opening
a
new playground
in the middle of the
new lockdown
?"
Tegernsee: Families crowd into the playground - without any distance and without a face mask
That is always allowed.
Unlike the first
lockdown
allowed
playgrounds
outdoors
open
remain.
However, as quoted by Dr.
Buses the Ministry of the Interior,
children
are only allowed
to
enter
the spaces
when
accompanied by adults
- and they are required to "
avoid
any
accumulation
and, wherever possible, to keep
the children
at a
sufficient distance
".
The pediatrician clarifies that this was not the case in Tegernsee.
The
father from Tegernsee
, who also emailed our newspaper, explained: "To be on the safe side, I
did not go
with my
child
."

Whether the
city of Tegernsee
sees
itself
prompted to act
due to the
complaints
remained
open
on Sunday
.
Mayor Johannes Hagn could not be reached for a comment.
One thing is
certain: In the
fight against Corona, the
city is
making every effort to avoid crowds: It was not until the most recent city council meeting that an alcohol ban was issued in the spa garden.
