The British mutant of the corona virus is likely to have played a major role in the outbreak in the St. Vinzenz kindergarten in Indersdorf.
Two thirds of the recently increasing number of infections in the district can be traced back to the British virus mutant, says Wolfgang Reichelt, press spokesman for the district office.
Indersdorf / Landkreis
- The investigations are still ongoing, but Reichelt assumes that the result will be the same for those infected in the daycare center in Indersdorf.
Four of the six groups were closed again immediately after the reopening on Monday, said Matthias Haack, press spokesman for the Franziskuswerk (FWS), responsible for the kindergarten on Propst-Morhardt-Straße.
The other two groups were also initially closed as a precaution, they were reopened yesterday Wednesday.
Haack believes that the parents are careful and would wait and see, because there were only about five children per group.
This roughly corresponds to the occupancy during the past emergency care.
14 children, four employees and 17 family members tested positive on Tuesday, as reported.
At the beginning of the year there had been a major outbreak in the Franziskuswerk in Schönbrunn itself, a total of around 80 residents and as many employees were infected at the time, explains Haack (we reported).
"That roughly reflects the social development," says the spokesman for the FWS, which currently has around 1500 employees and just as many residents.
Incidentally, the Franziskuswerk hopes “that the vaccinations will continue soon,” emphasizes Haack.
Because at 86 percent the vaccination rate is already quite good among the residents, but at 53 percent only a good half of the employees are vaccinated.
By the time the Astrazeneca stopped, the vaccination had made good progress, also thanks to the advertising drum that had been stirred internally.
Haack: "We have a real campaign going." With the nationwide stop of the vaccine Astrazeneca due to suspected relevant side effects, "the trust of our employees is of course not increasing", as the press spokesman put it.
