Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) – Due to the increasing number of infections, fewer and fewer people in the southwest are now going to the clubs and the first operators are closing their discos again. “Young people need some time off and we fear that partying will shift to private life, which would not be good,” said the spokesman for the Baden-Württemberg Club Culture Association, Simon Waldenspuhl, in Stuttgart. Young people also watched the pandemic. “The desire to meet other people away from home is decreasing. The exuberant party atmosphere has been lost.”
Waldenspuhl estimates that up to a third of the clubs and discos have closed their doors so far. Keeping the clubs open is no longer economical for some operators. Further help for the club operators is necessary. “We would also like to see a scientific investigation into whether clubs and discos are driving pandemics and how operations can be made possible under the current circumstances,” emphasized Waldenspuhl.
The state government had tightened the rules for discos in Baden-Württemberg again. Only vaccinated and convalescent people with a current negative test result are allowed to dance there (2G plus).
