Berlin tries to trace guests at inner city bar after coronavirus scare
Authorities in Berlin are appealing for people who went to the MIO restaurant and bar on the evening of July 10th to get in touch after a cluster of coronavirus tests.
The city says that people at the bar, which is situated directly under the TV Tower on Alexanderplatz, came from several cities around the country.
They are particularly interested in people who were inside between the hours of 9pm and 3am the next morning.
At least 10 people who went to the bar have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
People who were at the bar on that evening are asked to get in touch with the health authority in Berlin Mitte or to contact their own local health authority.
Strict rules
Since June, bars and pubs have been allowed to reopen in Berlin. As is the case with restaurants, operators must have a plan in place to ensure distancing, hygiene and contact tracing.
