Suspected coronavirus cases in Maine Spessart

There are currently 17 suspected omicron cases in the Maine Spessart area. This was confirmed by the district office when asked by BR24. Therefore, residents of a facility for people with disabilities and employees of the Mainfränkische Werkstätten in Gemünden are currently in quarantine. According to the county office, it will take about two weeks for it to become clear if it is the Omikron replacement. Those affected must therefore remain in quarantine during the Christmas holidays.
