The incidence in the Miesbach district continues to climb.

Tracking the infected has long been out of the question.

Miesbach - Sad record for the district of Miesbach: According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), on Wednesday, November 3, it had the highest incidence value in all of Germany with 683.

On Tuesday the value was still 621.

Sad corona record in Miesbach: highest incidence in all of Germany

Tracking contacts with people infected with corona has long been out of the question, so the district office is therefore limited in its activities to so-called "containment".

In other words: The Contact Tracing Team focuses on identifying household members and vulnerable groups of people, for example in nursing or care facilities.

There is still enough to do with that.

Therefore, the district office has not only assigned additional personnel from other - thus weakened - areas of the authority to establish contacts, but again asked for the help of the Bundeswehr.

Five soldiers should help.

The application was made at the weekend, an answer is pending.

District office can no longer keep up with contact tracking of corona infected people

To make it clear what the follow-up means, the district administration gives an example: In the week before the vacation, 143 children and young people tested positive.

With an average class size of 30 students, the Contact Tracing Team should have informed 4290 contact persons.

Cannot be done.

The authority therefore asks infected people to inform their contacts themselves and not to wait for a call from the health department.

Household members, for example, must be quarantined immediately if they have not been vaccinated or have recovered.

A free test is now only possible after the seventh day.


In the meantime, the willingness to vaccinate has apparently tightened again.

With 767 doses administered, the demand at the vaccination center was as high as it was at the beginning of September, as stated in the Tuesday update from the district office.

The corona controls in the Miesbach district are now being intensified - with the help of the police.

However, staff shortages make this more difficult.
