The Corona emergency brake has been in place in the district since Thursday.
If you want to shop, you not only have to make an appointment, but also have to be tested negatively - this has consequences for retailers.
Wolfratshausen / Geretsried - No harm without benefit: Finding a free parking space is currently not difficult in either Wolfratshausen or Geretsried.
The customer frequency in the city centers tends towards zero.
Anyone who carries a shopping bag has groceries or other everyday products in it.
What is not really needed urgently is not on the shopping list.
Melanie Renz is an exception.
“If my little daughter has outgrown her shoes, there is no other way, then new ones have to be found,” she says.
Instead of shopping on the Internet, the 36-year-old prefers to take the corona test procedure.
Because: "We should support regional businesses wherever possible."

Marlene Mauss from Geretsried sees it similarly.
Their magic formula is called “forward planning”.
When it became clear that the rules were going to be tightened, she said she had “obtained certain products in advance”.
Barbara and Ludwig Schiller combine the pleasant with the useful - a blind on the house has to be replaced.
Both can be tested at the new station in the rooms of the Jungbrunnen cosmetic studio in Wolfratshausen.
"So we can go shopping afterwards." The couple - Barbara Schiller is 74 years old, her husband Ludwig 73 - are already vaccinated, "but we still need a negative corona test for shopping".

Karin Kolitisch from Mariannes Miedereck in Geretsried thinks a lot about how senior citizens deal with the situation.
“We have a pharmacy that tests, and the BRK test center on Sudetenstrasse,” says the 41-year-old.
"Many seniors are not so mobile that they can easily make the way to testing." Kolitsch only had two customers since the emergency brake was applied on Thursday.
Now she is considering reducing her opening times.
It doesn't look any better at the Frankenberger jeweler in Geretsried.
“I've only had one since Thursday last week,” says Josef Frankenberger.
The master goldsmith holds the position in the shop and in the workshop, "but I can't cover costs either."
Stefan Fischer from the traditional costume store Fischer-Pfügl in Wolfratshausen shares this fate.
There is also a sign in his shop window that draws attention to the mandatory Corona-negative proof.
It is true that self-tests can be kept available for customers, but “what is the best way to do this, apart from the additional costs?”.
Gabriele Jehl, who works at the Poco Loco clothing store - one of three stores in downtown Wolfratshausen that Ines Boodevaar runs - also sees this problem.
“We're not allowed to test in business.
What if it showed Corona-positive? ”In addition:“ Until the one test is completed, our customers would have to stand in front of the door and wait. ”So here too, the customers have to bring the negative decision with them themselves.

Fritz Schnaller from the antique shop in Marktstrasse was able to greet several customers on Saturday, but he cannot answer the question of what happens next.
“I'm waiting for the next decisions.” He expressly welcomes the fact that there are further test stations in Loisachstadt.
“It is an opportunity for everyone - whether for business owners, our citizens or foreigners.
Go there, have it tested and then shop everywhere. "

The Isar department store has already drawn the conclusions: there is no “Click and Meet” with a test.
