Last night on German public news, there was a pretty interesting Corona 'drama' that was laid out. This morning, N-TV (commercial news) also chatted over this, giving the better of the news pieces.
So in the heart of Berlin, around the Berlin-Neukölln neighborhood (a neighborhood on the SE part of Berlin)....there's this pub/restaurant. They had a Corona outbreak (minimum of 18 folks with the Coronavirus).
Once the test results started to come back and they figured out the location....they went to the pub. By state law, you have to maintain a listing of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc....as the person sits down in your bar or restaurant.
So this problem started up for about 41 of the guests.....they didn't put down the correct info (false or fake data). The suggestion that some of the writing is unreadable? That came up as well.
The odds of a fine coming out of this for the pub operation? More than likely.
Since the bans were lifted, and these attendance forms started up....it's been a hassle.....which even I will admit. I probably fill out five of these slips each week. Even if you stopped to have a cup of coffee or a tea....just for five minutes to sit on some patio.....they hand you the slip and ask for personal data. Just giving out my cellphone number....I feel kinda negative about the 'free' data situation.
It wouldn't surprise me if some pub generated 200 of these slips in an evening, and 10-percent of them had false data written in or were simply unreadable.
This all leading to the point where you need to present your ID card and the card ID number being the identified point? I would make the suggestion that Berlin-City will reach this point within two months....where the ID must be presented.
But the other problem mentioned is the laughable point. A lot of Germans (my wife included) write in a fashion which is almost unreadable. You might have a slip existing and half the data simply can't be read because of the writing style. How can you write a law to get around this problem?
