The incidence in the Miesbach district ranks ninth nationwide with a diffuse infection situation.
Since tests have become chargeable, the demand has in some cases collapsed.
District - "Diffuse" is the word with which not only the infection situation, but also the test demand in the Miesbach district can currently best be described. The incidence in the district was yesterday, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), with 177 in the ninth-highest place nationwide. In this context, the district office only identifies a cluster with twelve cases after a wedding celebration. The remaining infections are "unfortunately still diffuse".
It is also unclear whether the test demand in the district will be reduced after the majority of citizens had to pay for swabs yesterday.
Andreas Hasenknopf, head of the Medius test center in Tegernsee, says: “The numbers were lower than on normal Mondays.” According to owner Dominik Lallemand, the Alpina pharmacy in Dürnbach has not yet recorded a decline.
The situation is different in the test center at Café Winklstüberl in Fischbachau: Here the test demand has decreased from up to 150 to around 20, as Sophia Mairhofer reports.
Instructions from the Ministry of Health: Test stations of the district office are not allowed to use self-payers
In the Marienapotheke in Holzkirchen yesterday's Monday was “very average”, reveals pharmacist Christoph Gonschorek. “There are still enough that have to be tested.” But it is still too early to estimate the demand. The test stations operated by the district office itself may not offer any compromises for self-payers. "There is an instruction from the Ministry of Health," writes a spokeswoman for the authority. However, the district continues to offer mobile vaccinations.
District Administrator Olaf von Löwis (CSU) announced the extension of the vaccination bus yesterday in a video message.
He appealed: "Help to defeat the pandemic." He is very concerned about the infection.
"Therefore, I think that we can no longer take responsibility for the originally planned suspension of the vaccination bus." Instead, the vaccination bus offer will be extended by at least four weeks.
