"had been vaccinated for the second time seven days before the virus was detected".

Geretsried: Retirement home is becoming a Corona hotspot - the facility does not provide any information
According to information from our newspaper, it is the
St. Ursula nursing home
, which also operates an outpatient therapeutic residential community and a long-term social therapeutic facility under its roof.
"We do
not provide any information,
" said an employee of the nursing home GmbH on Monday when our newspaper asked.
The renowned facility in Geretsried, which has existed since 1950 and always received very good grades in quality controls by the Medical Service of the Health Insurance (MDK), has been a
Corona hotspot
in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district
since Sunday at the latest
.
After an accumulation of cases since mid-January, a
series of tests
took place last Thursday
in the nursing home on Sudetenstrasse.
On Sunday, the district office reported in a press release about
100 infected people
.
Corona hotspot in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen: Retirement home is in close contact with the health department
The
health department
in Bad Tölz has been
in close
contact with the management of the facility since the outbreak began - "and also has the
hygiene concept
in focus," Peischer told our newspaper on Monday.
Since some residents in the facility are still physically very mobile, the
greatest challenge is
to strictly keep the separation of the people who tested positive and the contact persons 1.
Peischer: "For this, the facility was strictly separated into pandemic and quarantine zones." However, at a very early stage of the infection process, "the infections occurred in all areas of the facility".
How did
the coronavirus
presumably come about
in the geriatric care facility?
"For the first time, two people were noticed with positive tests," reports the spokeswoman for the district office.
Specifically, it was an employee as well as a resident.
The actual so-called index case cannot be defined.
Corona outbreak after vaccinations: home operation not endangered
The
operation
of the home is, according to the county authority
is not endangered
.
The explanation: Since the outbreak began two weeks ago, some people have already been released from isolation, "including some of the people affected from the staff".
The people released from isolation are considered to have recovered.
The operation of the facility "is currently guaranteed", states Peischer.
The
mobile team of
the Aicher Group, which operates the two vaccination centers at the Wolfratshausen district clinic and at the Asklepios city clinic in Bad Tölz, carried out
initial vaccinations
in Sankt Ursula on January 12th
.
51 of the residents who now tested positive had received an initial vaccination before the virus was detected in them.
According to the district office, over 70 percent of the residents have already received the first vaccination in the facility.
“The staff has already been completely vaccinated,” adds Peischer.
Corona hotspot in Geretsried: So far, no mutations have been detected in old people's homes
According to the spokeswoman for the district authority, five percent of the positive samples, that is, five,
have been tested
for
mutations
by
default
.
A corona mutant had not been detected.
Why doesn't the district office give the name of the facility?
“For reasons of data protection, we have decided to only ever name the location of a facility, but not the facility itself,” replies Peischer.
This is done "out of respect for those affected."
The experience of the past few months shows that
those affected still
have to justify in part that they have become infected.
"We want to inform the public about an outbreak, but at the same time preserve a certain amount of privacy for those affected," said the spokeswoman for the authorities.
Of course, there is a general ban on visitors to the facility on Sudetenstrasse.
According to the St. Ursula Pflegeheim GmbH website, 53 people are cared for in the care area of the house, while a total of five residents have a home in the outpatient therapeutic residential community.
According to the operator, there are 126 “open and closed places available for women and men” in the long-term social therapy facility.
