Record incidence in Mühldorf am Inn: Bavaria tightened corona rules

The corona infection numbers in Mühldorf am Inn have never gone far down, says the district administrator of the Bavarian district Max Heimerl. According to him, that was also the reason for the record incidence that was recorded here on Sunday. The current 7-day incidence is over 660. No district, no city, no municipality has had more infections than the 17,000-inhabitant district in Upper Bavaria since the outbreak of the coronavirus. “On the one hand, this was due to the proximity to the border with Austria, but it was also due to the fact that we had a relatively large number of travelers returning from Eastern Europe. And then came the seasonal development that the Robert Koch Institute had predicted, with increasing numbers of cases We then had three special effects that we are familiar with, an additional outbreak in a club, a larger wedding and after a football game. ” And that is why the district has now also introduced the 2-G regulation for clubs and other event locations, said Heimerl. “Either you get vaccinated and of course you protect yourself and others, or the unvaccinated who could get vaccinated, they just have to reduce their contacts now.” Prime Minister Markus Söder welcomed the measures in the southeast of the state. In Bavaria, the incidence is currently over 270, nationwide at 146. In Germany, 66 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, which, according to many scientists and experts, is not yet sufficient to protect the intensive care units from overload. The number of corona patients in intensive care units continues to rise. According to the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI), it is now 2220, the highest it has been since the beginning of June. Several politicians, including the Managing Minister of Health Jens Spahn, are therefore calling for vaccination centers that are already closed to be reopened in order to provide support with so-called booster or booster vaccinations.
