Corona: Incidence in the city of Tübingen is increasing - Palmer is suspending day tickets for guests
The city of Tübingen (Baden-Württemberg) has set up the model project “Opening with Safety” with quick tests.
Since March 16, people in Tübingen can have themselves tested free of charge at several stations.
A stroll, theater or museum is possible with a negative corona test.
Now Tübingen's Lord Mayor Boris Palmer (Greens) is pulling the rip cord again because of the large influx of foreign guests to his city.
From April 1, these Corona day tickets are limited to people in the Tübingen district or who work in the city.
External guests no longer receive a day ticket.
The regulation only applies until Easter Monday.
"There are just too many people coming into the city from out of town at the moment," said Palmer in the SWR.
The model experiment loses its informative value.
Before that, there was criticism.
The flagship project is now developing into a problem case.
The number of corona cases is increasing sharply in the city of Tübingen.
In the Tübingen district *, the 7-day incidence is currently 110.2 (as of March 31, 3:08 a.m. - RKI Covid Dashboard).
In the university city of Tübingen, the weekly value is 78.7.
The SWR reports.
An increase in the incidence values caused a stir in the past few days.
The district only publishes weekly corona case numbers for its communities, including the city of Tübingen.
There are no up-to-date figures on the situation on the Tübingen website.
On March 26, the 7-day incidence in the city was 42.6.
Incidence is also increasing in the city of Tübingen - Baden-Württemberg is examining model project
The model project Tübingen is planned until April 18th.
Now there is a harsh headwind.
"Should Tübingen continue to have increasing incidences and steadily approach 100 or even exceed this mark per 100,000 inhabitants, the extent to which the project must be suspended," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Stuttgart on Wednesday, reports the news agency dpa.
Against this background and also due to the increasing number of infections in the middle of the third wave of pandemics, the ministry is currently not thinking of designating further model projects.
