So far, only one corona infection has been confirmed in the four-week test period, 1499 tests were negative. In addition, there were further tests in hospitals and by resident doctors, the number of which the health department was not aware of because these negative results did not have to be reported to the authority.

All residents and employees in 28 old people's and nursing homes and in five facilities for people with disabilities in the Main-Tauber district were tested. Resident doctors, supported by practice employees and, in some cases, employees of the homes, were on duty for the extensive testing.

Due to the low level of infection in the Main-Tauber district in June 2020, the district office realigned its work to contain the COVID-19 pandemic from July 1, 2020 and adapted its resources to the changed situation. As a result, the health department was no longer manned at the weekend. In addition, an extended on-call service was set up in the event that an infection occurs on a Saturday or Sunday, so that contact persons can be identified and necessary domestic isolation can be made immediately on the weekend.

The 14 new infections in the last three days (June 14-16) could be traced back to a common source of infection. Of the ten new infections reported on July 17, 2020, nine cases could be traced back to the common source of infection from the previous days, a family celebration in neighboring countries.

Controversy

After the end of February 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic a saber - World Cup in Padua in northern Italy was canceled, who wanted Fencing Club Tauberbischofsheim 2020 to step in early March as the host. This met with massive criticism from the local authorities. The district administrator of the Main-Tauber district, Reinhard Frank, then wrote a public letter to the board of the fencing club, requesting that the Saber World Cup not be held in Tauberbischofsheim at the beginning of March. “Against the background of the current dynamic development of the corona infections”, the relocation was “irresponsible and unacceptable”, said a letter from the district administrator to the board, in which Frank continued: “Because of our responsibility for protecting people in In our district, we expect the fencing club to refrain from this event. ” District Administrator Frank wrote that the health department of the Main-Tauber district had urgently advised against holding it in advance of the event. The fencing club only withdrew its commitment after this publicly expressed criticism. Public pressure and regional resistance have simply become too great due to the statements made by the district administrator.

The dispute in April 2020 between the district office of the Main-Tauber district and the operator of the factory outlet center Wertheim Village over the time of the reopening of the outlet center led to the Stuttgart administrative court . With an order based on the Infection Protection Act, the District Office prohibited operation on April 20, 2020 up to and including Sunday, May 3, 2020 after the city of Wertheim had already made plans to reopen it. According to the district office, if the door is opened too quickly, there is a risk of an infection hotspot. An urgent application from the operator was rejected by the administrative court and a lack of security concept was criticized. The operator then lodged a complaint with the Baden-Württemberg Administrative Court (VGH) in Mannheim , since it believes that the opening ban for the outlet center "violates the principle of equal treatment" compared to the reopening of pedestrian zones or shopping centers. At the same time, the operator has already pushed internal reopening plans for April 28th. The District Office, the Wertheim City Administration and the operator of the Wertheim Village finally reached an out-of-court settlement at the suggestion of the Administrative Court. The operator presented a binding safety and hygiene concept and committed, among other things, to access control to the area. In return, the outlet center was reopened on April 30, 2020.
