Despite the lockdown, numerous visitors rushed to Schliersee and Tegernsee at the weekend.
District Administrator Olaf von Löwis is now asking Prime Minister Markus Söder for stricter rules.
The images of motorcades and overcrowded parking lots “horrified” him, according to the district administrator.
In an SMS to the Prime Minister, Olaf von Löwis (CSU) is now calling for stricter rules.
Appeals alone would not be enough to urge the day trippers to stay at home.
District
- District Administrator Olaf von Löwis (CSU) sent his emergency call via SMS.
The reason: the many day-trippers who came to the Miesbach district at the weekend despite exit restrictions.
The recipient of the short message: Prime Minister Markus Söder.
"Dear Markus, I don't like to annoy you via SMS," wrote Löwis.
“But with us day tourism gets out of hand.
It really burns. ”The Agatharied Clinic rightly fears that the emergency room will be overloaded due to the increased number of injuries.
“Our hospital also has more than enough to do with corona patients who are gaining weight.” Löwi's conclusion: The appeal “stay at home” must be underpinned by rules on exit restrictions.
"The police are at their limit."
In a press release from the district office, Löwis underpins his approach.
The images of motorcades and overcrowded parking lots at the weekend would have "shocked" him, said the district administrator.
“I understand that everyone wants to go out into nature when the weather is nice.
But we are in the middle of a global pandemic! ”You just have to walk from your own front door for a while and you cannot drive to the country.
District administrator fears overloading of the emergency room in Agatharied hospital
Above all, Löwis fears the consequences of possible accidents to hikers or tobogganists.
Anyone who injures themselves in the district is very likely to come to the emergency room at Agatharied Hospital.
There, however, the employees have been working at the limit for months and have to concentrate all their efforts on caring for corona patients and emergencies.
The district administrator asks all day trippers: "Be responsible to the districts on the Alpine chain and their residents!"
Löwis is now hoping for the support of the state government.
This must give the circles concerned the necessary means to "get the excessive excursion tourism under control".
A common solution is needed, emphasizes Löwis.
Infection in the district remains tense
The infection process in the district remains tense.
As district office spokeswoman Sophie Stadler reports, 48 new infections were reported to the health department on December 23 and 68 new infections on Christmas Eve - the second and third highest daily number since the pandemic began.
More cases (98) were only recorded on March 23.
At over 200, the 7-day incidence is higher than ever in the district.
On Monday it was 210.
In the past four days, with a total of 51 cases, significantly fewer cases were reported, but according to Stadler, the health department has not given the all-clear - on the contrary.
Because many medical practices were closed over the holidays, one must assume that many citizens are only now going to test and the numbers will rise again in the coming days.
In principle, the infection process in the district is still diffuse, i.e. distributed across all communities and population groups.
Shortly before or on the holidays, however, some larger clusters were uncovered: A series of tests after a resident who tested positive in the asylum community accommodation in Warngau (we reported) showed that 25 of 45 residents were infected.
Now the entire facility is under quarantine.
Four family associations, each with up to ten people, are also affected by the virus.
Four more deaths related to the coronavirus
Four other deaths related to the coronavirus were also reported to the health department: According to the district office, three men and one woman, all of them very old, died of or with the virus.
This brings the total number of deaths to 21.
Despite the increasing number of infections and the high incidence, the District Office is currently not ordering any further tightening measures in addition to the known measures of the state government.
The district administrator's call for help in matters of day-trippers, however, has already arrived in Munich, reports Stadler.
The President of the State Parliament and CSU constituency member Ilse Aigner promised Löwis on the phone to discuss the issue at government level.
