The corona pandemic caused a quieter New Year's Eve in Bavaria: In large parts of Bavaria, the current restrictions have resulted in fewer deployments.
New Year's Eve
2020 took place quieter than usual.
The reason was the applicable rules due to the
corona pandemic
.
Nevertheless, the police in Bavaria had to go on numerous missions.
Update from January 1st, 5:51 p.m.: Apparently
, he didn't want to do without the
gunfire
.
This had consequences for a 56-year-old man from
Bad Reichenhall
.
The new year had not yet begun, probably as the man to 21:40 a
detonated New Year firecrackers in hand
.
So he spent the last evening of the year in the
hospital
.
The accident leaves permanent damage: Because
the man lost four fingers and parts of his thumb
, as the police reported.
Overall, however, the Bavarian police draw a
positive conclusion after New Year's Eve
- it was largely peaceful and calm.
The officers in the area of responsibility of the Upper Bavaria North Police Headquarters had to move out 229 times at the turn of the year - in the previous year there were 320 deployments.
At the Upper Bavaria South Presidium, there were
219 missions, ten more than in the previous year, but apart from the blown hand in Bad Reichenhall, it was mainly minor violations
of the Infection Protection Ordinance.
Thus, most, but not all of Bavaria to the talking while
night curfew from 21 clock
.
In Berchtesgaden, for example, shortly before midnight, the police checked eight people who were
on the street
for no good reason, but with two alarm weapons with
1,400 rounds of ammunition
.
The group also included Austrians who should have been quarantined after entering the country.
New Year's Eve in Bavaria: Police break up a series of parties
The police also broke up a number of parties.
For example in the
Mühldorf
district
, where a
young man
had invited
20 guests to the local farm
- until the officials ended the celebration around 2.30 a.m.
In Aschheim in the Munich district, the police put an end to a garden party with eleven people - residents had complained.
The police from various corners of Bavaria reported similar cases of house parties and disturbances.
In
Freising
alone
, around 20 people were also reported who were
outside after 9 p.m. for no good reason
.
In most cases, those affected face a fine, which is ultimately decided by the respective district administrative authority.
As every year, there were
various fires
this year
.
In Regensburg, for example, a raclette grill caught fire and set off an apartment fire in which a woman was slightly injured.
In Dießen, a drunk 28-year-old fell over a fire barrel in her garden and had to be taken to hospital with burns.
In
Oberdorf
, two twelve-year-olds set a
bus shelter
with fireworks on fire.
And in Weismain, Upper Franconia, a fireworks rocket set off a roof fire.
The goal of fewer rescue missions due to the overburdened clinics was achieved with the strict guidelines but despite the various missions.
The BRK rescue service reported 5222 missions
across
Bavaria at the turn of the year,
a significant decrease of 45 percent compared to the previous year.
An overload of the ambulance service and the emergency rooms could be prevented, reports the Bavarian Red Cross.
