The incidence is falling - and Munich is gradually easing.
The Jakobidult on the Mariahilfplatz should take place - so it is with other events in the city.
Munich - After months of doing without (including Oktoberfest cancellation), Munich's people are hoping for a top summer - and one thing above all: events.
And that hope could actually be fulfilled.
The corona numbers are falling *, and confidence increases in lockstep.
The Jakobidult in der Au (July 24th to August 1st) should take place in any case.
At least that is what Clemens Baumgärtner's (CSU) economics department will propose to the city council on Tuesday.
According to this, however, strict conditions should apply again.
The number of visitors is limited, a maximum of 1000 people are allowed on Mariahilfplatz at the same time.
The number of visitors is recorded electronically, the site is fenced off and the entrances monitored.
Munich: Jakobidult should take place now - guesswork around the spring festival
Distances of at least five to ten meters must be maintained between the stands and on the paths.
This is to ensure that the minimum distance of 1.5 meters between visitors can be maintained.
In order for this to work, the number of stands has been reduced from 285 to 144.
Meanwhile, there is some guesswork around the Spring Festival.
This has not been canceled so far, but postponed *.
According to the official website, it should take place in May or June.
Peter Bausch from the Munich Showmen Association has little hope.
“Unfortunately, a spring festival as we know it cannot take place,” he says.
One hopes for substitute events, like the "summer in the city".

Munich and the summer Tollwood: Gaudi in the Olympiapark?
This is the state
There will probably be an interim solution at the summer tollwood.
The music arena with the big concerts was canceled.
But: "We are planning a small, corona-compliant summer festival," said spokeswoman Christiane Stenzel.
The concept has been submitted, the organizers are now waiting for the authorities' response.
Stenzel: “We are in good spirits!” A date for the summer fun in the Olympiapark * has not yet been set.
On the other hand, there is a fixed date for the yard flea markets: the start of the season is planned for June 12th.
On the first day, six quarters invite you to browse, for example the Westend * and the Maxvorstadt *.
Visitors and sellers must adhere to hygiene and safety measures.
Cinema enjoyment in the open air is also certain: the cinema on Lake Olympia will open on May 21.
