Again there was a back and forth in the Corona policy: A planned ban in Bavaria's beer gardens caused an outcry.
Restaurant operators turned to the ministry directly.
Munich - roll backwards at the Bavarian Ministry of Health.
A few days ago, the restaurateurs in the Free State received bad news: The Plexiglas partition walls in outdoor restaurants are to be banned.
For the innkeepers, this would have meant that they could offer even fewer tables because the partition walls had previously allowed them to bypass the minimum distance (1.50 meters).
Corona / Bavaria: Bad news for restaurateurs - there is a great outcry among hosts
According to the district administration department of Munich, which would have been responsible for implementing the ban in the state capital, one reason was: “If the partition walls cause tables to be moved closer together, more people will be outside than if the distance were consistently maintained. "This leads to" more situations in which the minimum distance is briefly undershot. "
But the outcry among the restaurateurs was great: “At some point there will be an end to fun.
The business is currently not profitable anyway - but if you have fewer tables, then many lock up, ”said Gregor Lemke, spokesman for the city center inns.
