No Covid-19 in Oberammergau

Faith, testing and distancing: a good combination until a cure is found.

Berchtesgadener Landkreis has been fortunate with only 154 cases and 3 dead as of 7 Apr. They are also fortunate to be surrounded by mountains and closed boarders with Austria. Tourism has stopped. Traunstein Landkreis next door has 495 cases with 17 dead. Rosenheim Landkreis 1189 with 39 dead. The lockdown on traveling, tourism and social distancing is certainly helping reduce the spread. Hopefully it continues to flatten the curve.

Flattening the curve is really a controlled exposure to the virus, keep the rate low enough that resources are not overwhelmed. One of the other keys is that a portion of the population is being infected, making subsequent waves of the virus less contagious, since the eligible hosts are more scattered in the population, and a good number are immune.

If this is Isolation though, meaning eliminating interaction and keeping the virus out, then everyone is still susceptible, all it takes is a relaxing of movement...and you have a hotspot, this is until a vaccination is available of course, then that can control spread.

Hopefully everyone there stays safe.

Concur with both Paul. Imagine letting tourism back into Berchtesgadener land without some protection be it immunity or vaccine for the local/home population.

I guess the Passionsspiele will not take place anyway
