Bavaria: Corona situation makes Munich Mayor concerned about the Oktoberfest

In view of the rising corona numbers, there is concern about the Oktoberfest in Munich.

Munich (dpa / lby) - He hopes that the topic "does not have to be discussed in the short term," Mayor Dieter Reiter told Bavarian Radio on Tuesday. The corona numbers are devastating - even if the main focus is no longer on the seven-day incidence, but on the burden on the hospitals.

Should the Oktoberfest be able to take place again this year, Reiter would also be willing to make a personal sacrifice: Then it should be “four shots” when he taps the first barrel, he told BR. In 2019, Reiter only needed two strokes.
