The probably highly contagious corona mutations continue to spread in Bavaria.
According to the Department of Health, eight cases of the mutant from Great Britain and one case of the mutant from South Africa have been confirmed.
There are also eleven suspected cases of the virus type from Great Britain in the Bayreuth Clinic.
The mutations are "actually a challenge," said Bavaria's Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting in Munich.
The virus is much more contagious, depending on the study between 33 and 70 percent.
Therefore, there is “no alternative at all to keep the regulations clear and unambiguous so that this mutant does not spread.
Otherwise we would gamble away what we have now achieved together ”.
After the suspected cases in the Bayreuth Clinic became known, "acted quickly, consistently and decisively," emphasized Holetschek.
The affected hospitals are closed for the time being, patients are only admitted in absolute emergencies.
The more than 3,300 employees of the clinic are in quarantine outside of their working hours.
