Bavaria: Innkeeper desperate because of the new corona lockdown

In the Gasthof zum Ott in Staudach-Egerndach in Bavaria, the chairs are being folded up again. The inn is located in the Traunstein district. And there is a lockdown again. Because the region is considered a Corona hotspot, with a 7-day incidence of over 1000. Gastronomy, hotels and all sports and cultural facilities have to close. Public life is largely shut down. All of this comes much too quickly, criticizes the innkeeper at the Gasthof zum Ott, Franz Peikert. The gastronomy is now facing major problems: “Yes, we just don’t know what to do anymore. We don’t know when to open, when to open, because we are simply told too quickly. All of them Purchases, what we do, we are told on Friday, but we get the delivery on Thursday and the warehouse is then full and we don’t bring the things any further and we may have to throw it all away now. ” The federal government wants to extend the Corona aid for the self-employed and companies. The livelihood worries in gastronomy are still great, says Peikert: “It just depends on livelihoods, regardless of whether it is the restaurant or the music industry or all the festivities, the families, the boys and waiters and cooks and everyone who works for us, everyone wants them too have their money because they also have a family to support. ” Peikert would like all the economies to be allowed to open again. Despite the corona situation. He would have no objection to a 2G plus regulation. Then everyone is on the safe side, he says. And a return to so-called normal life is possible again. Otherwise, he only has the principle of hope: If the incidence falls below the 1000 limit for at least five days, the stricter rules for the corona hotspots will be lifted again.
