Munich – In 2022, the Oktoberfest will definitely take place again, Wiesn boss Clemens Baumgärtner promised that to the radio station Gong 96.3. BUT: A 2G rule could possibly apply in the coming year.
Then only those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered are allowed to go to the largest festival in the world and they would have to be tested, according to the Wiesn boss. But nothing is certain yet. The reason for the strict considerations: Baumgärtner could hardly imagine a folk festival with a mask and distance.
The Oktoberfest would actually have started on Saturday, but it was canceled again due to Corona. Instead, the Wirtshaus-Wiesn starts.
Meanwhile, scientists are more hesitant about the chances of a Oktoberfest in the coming year. “Indeed, from an infectious point of view, no serious statement currently seems possible to me,” said the pandemic officer at the Klinikum rechts der Isar, Christoph Spinner, in an interview with Bayerischer Rundfunk.
