Dieburg (dpa / lhe) - The city of Dieburg, selected as a model municipality for relaxed corona measures, will not open for the time being.

"As of today" there will be no opening of the retail trade and outdoor catering in Dieburg, announced the administration of the Darmstadt-Dieburg district on Thursday.

At the moment, the health department cannot guarantee complete contact tracking, it said to justify.

«The current, very dynamic infection situation makes it impossible to follow up contacts in a timely manner.

We monitor and evaluate the situation very closely on a daily basis.

As soon as the situation allows, we will also implement the model opening concept, ”said District Administrator Klaus Peter Schellhaas (SPD).

A contact chain follow-up by the health department must be ensured.

Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) and Health Minister Kai Klose (Greens) announced at the end of March that in addition to the North Hessian Baunatal, the South Hessian Dieburg and Alsfeld in the Vogelsbergkreis could try out opening steps for trade, gastronomy or events as model communities.

The city of Dieburg, the health department and the district then said they had started planning for the start of the model project in mid-April.

According to this, people who live in the district or the city of Darmstadt should do a negative Corona quick test on site and provide their contact details, be able to shop in shops all day without an appointment and use the outdoor catering.

"From the point of view of the City of Dieburg's magistrate, the concept is good, sustainable and should also be implemented at short notice," it said on Thursday.

“I am glad that we have a good concept that the magistrate trusts.

However, the country's clear rules of the game must be observed.

As long as these are not guaranteed, we have to postpone the project to a later date, ”said Dieburg's mayor Frank Haus (non-party).
