Munich (dpa / lby) - Business and cultural associations are calling for a municipal test strategy for the Bavarian capital of Munich so that shops, restaurants and theaters can reopen in the pandemic.

"As soon as it becomes permanently warmer, many thousands of citizens will use the public space again, with or without a test strategy," the associations announced on Thursday.

Due to its size, Munich is out of the question as one of the model cities planned by the state government for cautious openings.

Independently of this, however, the city should develop a concept for uniform and comprehensive corona rapid tests, according to associations such as the Munich Tourism Initiative, the city center landlords, the trade association and the Chamber of Crafts.

To do this, the city must, among other things, set up test stations, enable free tests and set up a coordination office.
