Munich – The corona pandemic is currently keeping Germany and especially Bavaria in suspense again. Nevertheless, some politicians already see a future in the learned hat of living with the pandemic. For example, Munich’s Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD). So that the Oktoberfest can take place again in 2022, there are apparently also admission wristbands under discussion. “I am convinced that we will not see an Oktoberfest without restrictions. We are currently thinking about access controls suitable for Oktoberfest, ”said Reiter in the image on Saturday. “We think about ribbons. The men, on presentation of their vaccination certificates, can receive a different color for each day. Or a ribbon for 16 days. It’s easier to control. We still have to think about how we can deal with spontaneous visitors. “
