A mega wedding took place in New York.
About 7000 people celebrated, danced and sang.
The mayor was horrified.
But it wasn't the only offense.
The USA is one of the countries that is
most affected by the
Corona *
pandemic
in the
second wave *
.
Restrictions
should get the situation under control.
Nevertheless,
thousands
again and again celebrate
at weddings
- without distance or mask.
Now New York is
taking
an unexpected step
(see update from November 29th, 7:01 pm)
.
Update from November 29, 7:01 p.m.:
Shortly after it became known that
thousands of people were
celebrating
a
huge wedding
close together
in New York
at the
beginning of November
, the next
Corona message
comes from the Big Apple: Despite rising corona numbers, public
primary schools
are supposed to be
open again soon in the US metropolis.
Mayor
Bill de Blasio announced
on Sunday that the plan would be implemented from December 7th.
The city is doing a U-turn and abandoning its self-imposed rules.
If
three or more percent of the corona tests are
positive, the schools should actually have remained closed.
But the requirement aroused massive criticism.
Because while the educational institutions had to close,
restaurants inside
were allowed to
continue operating.
The city government has apparently bowed to this pressure.
However, the schools for older children remain closed.
"What we are facing the next few weeks
in December
expect, unfortunately, that we have a
new wave
could have - in addition to the wave in which we already find ourselves", however, the renowned virologist said
Anthony Fauci
the TV station
NBC
respect the development of the corona numbers in the entire
USA
.
According to him, the situation will continue to worsen.
It is not too late to take countermeasures, but due to the
holidays and more travel
, a further increase in new infections can be expected.

Nothing

hardly any of the guests wears a mask

The recordings, which were taken on
November 8th
, caused horror among many responsible persons.
"That was extremely irresponsible, simply unacceptable,"

But it wasn't the only disregard for the regulations.
Corona: Wedding celebration in a confined space - almost 7000 people celebrate - planning like the CIA
The
planning of the wedding
seemed thought out to the smallest detail and careful not to attract any attention.
Planning in secret
.
“In a few weeks, the organizers worked closely together to arrange everything in the best possible way.
Any announcements
regarding the upcoming celebration were
passed on
verbally
without written
notice
, without posters in the synagogue, without e-mail invitations and without publication in a newspaper, "
NYPost quoted
a Jewish newspaper that made the plans public after the celebration.
Exactly how many people crowded into the synagogue on November 8th cannot be made out.

Corona: Wedding celebration with almost 7000 people - those responsible outraged
"Let's be clear:
indoor gatherings of this size are unacceptable
and they are
insulting
to all the sacrifices New Yorkers have made to protect their families and neighbors from
Covid-19
," denounced Mitch Schwartz, a staff member in the mayor's office across from NYPost.
“The city carries out a large number of inspections every day,” he explains.
He could not explain how such a large wedding and
disregard of the Corona * rules
could not be discovered.
Due to the high
Corona numbers
(November 28: almost 156,000 new infections per day),
numerous restrictions
also apply in the
USA
, including contact restrictions.
In addition, a maximum number of participants of half the room capacity applies in religious gatherings.
A distance of six feet (1.8 meters) must be maintained between members of different households.
If this is not possible, a
mask is required
, according to NYPost.
Corona: After unbelievable scenes at a wedding party - further disregard of the Corona regulations
The Brooklyn synagogue is now
facing a $ 15,000 fine
.
“We don't want to do that, but we have to be very, very clear that we cannot allow people to do something so dangerous,” explained de Blasio.
But the
mass
event
on November 8th
was not the only violation of a religious event against the
Corona guidelines
.
The city was able to dissolve a wedding that was planned before the celebration on November 8th.
There were
10,000 guests
expected.
And also at the end of November, according to NYPost, numerous people celebrated a Jewish wedding again and disregarded the regulations for fighting Corona *.
