Actually, one tried to react early, said the Regener district administrator Rita Röhrl (SPD) on one Press conference on Sunday on the very high corona numbers their county. The incidence value (numbers from RKI) on Sunday is 581.3 and makes rain again Germany’s corona stronghold. But despite the first restrictions in October, the second wave could not be stopped, said the district administrator.
The concern about incidence value 600
From the point of view of the SPD politician, one reason could be that some contact persons have not given in order to keep them from quarantine. In the next few days, the district will probably also exceed the incidence value 600, said Röhrl. Although numerous infections can be identified in nursing and disabled facilities as well as a hospital, a considerable part of the infections is diffuse, i.e. not understandable.
Schools take distance learning
Therefore, the already applicable anti-corona measures will be tightened even though exit restrictions already apply and although stricter rules will apply throughout Bavaria from Wednesday.
“None of this is fun, but the district has to act with these incidence figures.” Rita Röhrl, Regen’s district administrator
Specifically, all schools in the district should completely switch to distance teaching – presumably from Wednesday. Until then, they will speak to the relevant authorities and organize emergency care. The reason given by District Administrator Röhrl was the way to school, often on public transport, which could lead to infections.
Stricter hygiene controls in homes
In addition to distance teaching, workshops for the disabled in the district will also be closed. In addition, compliance with hygiene concepts will be monitored more closely in the service companies that are still open, as well as in homes. In future, visits to care facilities should only be allowed by a specified person for 30 minutes. And only after a test result and with an FFP2 mask. There is even a ban on visiting houses that are particularly affected.
Border traffic is restricted anyway
The small border traffic, i.e. crossings for shopping or refueling, between the Czech Republic and the district is already restricted by the Bavarian measures. This welcomed Röhrl, who recognized a certain connection within the district between the number of infections and the proximity to the Czech Republic.
Hospitals heavily burdened
The effects of the high corona numbers are currently also clearly evident in the district’s clinics. Christian Schmitz, the board member of the local Arberland clinics, reported that currently eleven of the twelve available intensive care beds are currently occupied by Covid 19 patients. Organize more beds, but they need staff and material.
In addition, around ten percent of the workforce are currently not ready for use due to corona infections or quarantine measures. As a result of this development, no new patients will be admitted to the Zwiesel site for the time being. However, further treatment is carried out on site.
