andThere is a dispute between Frankfurt and the state government: the reason is the question of the number of spectators in the test match on Saturday Frankfurt Against Saint-Etienne. According to reports, although the local health department has agreed to the association to provide a health concept for 10,000 people, the Ministry of Social Affairs only hopes to allow half of it. Eintracht legal counsel Philipp Reschke announced on Monday that if the health department changes its decision as expected, the association will have the administrative court inspect it through an emergency procedure-also for the first divisional season starting in mid-August. FAZ’s Reschke said that such restrictions are neither in compliance with regulations nor suitable for achieving the goal of better prevention of infection.
The conflict is about the importance of the morbidity limit of 35, which is the number of new infections per 100,000 residents in a week. Frankfurt has been hovering around this value for a few days, reaching 36.7 on Monday. The Ministry implemented the injunction agreement reached by the Prime Minister in early July. Most importantly, this should enable fans to gradually return to the stadium during the pandemic that is said to be fading. These “Guidelines for Major Sports Events and Other Major Events of a Transnational Nature” point out that at present, when the incidence rate is less than 35, up to 50% of the stadium capacity can be used, and a maximum of 25,000 spectators can be used. The “clarification” issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs of the State of Hessen on Sunday stated that if the stadium has an incidence of more than 35 people and the infection rate cannot be clearly defined, no more than 5,000 fans should be allowed to enter the stadium. Contrary to the opinion of the Frankfurt Health Department, the upper limit of 5000 is absolutely applicable, so it is not possible to add people who have not recovered or have been vaccinated twice. This regulation between countries is clear and unmistakable, and the guiding principle is that we should always “be cautious and always focus on the development of the current pandemic” and take open steps.
People who are vaccinated have no freedom
Eintracht Frankfurt claimed that if 5,000 spectators who must show a negative test result and another 5,000 spectators who have recovered or who have been vaccinated twice gather in a stadium that can accommodate about 48,000 people, the risk of infection is extremely low or the civil liberties are invaded The above is disproportionate.In an open letter on Monday, the mayor of Frankfurt requested Peter Feldman (SPD) In the context of the Eintracht game, the state government reconsidered the restrictions on major events-thereby creating additional incentives for vaccination. The vaccinated and recovered must be allowed to participate in activities that exceed their respective maximum limits.
Head of the Frankfurt Health Department Stefan Maggie The (Green Party) was annoyed by the Ministry of Health’s “clarification”: “We have done everything we can to do it correctly.” The city’s legal office carefully checked the explanatory notes and concluded that those who recovered and were vaccinated were not The calculation needs to be determined according to the guidelines. Majel still believes that the “correct” procedure-as long as good hygiene is in place and the total number of spectators will only increase with the game. In his view, a more rigorous interpretation of clues would have a devastating signal effect. It has been difficult to persuade people who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated. Majer is worried that some people will now back down again. Because the argument that it can be restored to normal conditions through comprehensive vaccination protection is almost untenable.
