Low incidence values - and yet no easing for the citizens: This is an annoyance for the district administrator of a Bavarian district.
He is now even threatening a lawsuit.
Augsburg - Actually, the seven-day incidence in the Augsburg * district gives hope.
But there is still no easing - much to the annoyance of Martin Sailer (CSU), district administrator of the Augsburg district *.
As the
Augsburger Allgemeine
reported first, the seven-day incidence * in the Augsburger Land has been below the limit of 50 since February 9th.Sailer therefore demanded that it was time to relax - but the Swabian government refused from.
Corona in the Augsburg district: despite incidence below 50 - easing rejected
After the rejection of his application for regional corona easing, the district administrator threatened the responsible supervisory authority with a lawsuit.
As the district office announced on Thursday (February 25th), Sailer reserves the right to file a norms review suit against the Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance, should it not clearly distinguish between municipalities with incidence values below 50 and those with values below 100.
“The citizens must be able to trust that the easing will actually take place if certain targets are achieved by participating and persevering,” said Sailer.
The district administrator had applied to the government of Swabia on February 18, regional easing of the Corona * restrictions after the district had reported a 7-day incidence of under 50 since February 9.
District of Augsburg: District Administrator wanted to abolish the mask requirement in public space
Among other things, Sailer wanted to abolish the mask requirement in public places in the Augsburg district, let small, owner-managed shops reopen and allow sports such as tennis outdoors.
The government of Swabia rejected the application in coordination with the Bavarian Ministry of Health.
The spread of corona variants overlay the development of the incidence values, a spokesman justified the decision.
