Corona in Bavaria: The nationwide incidence is increasing – but it continues to fall rapidly in Munich
The city of Passau continues to have the lowest incidence value in all of Bavaria with 24.6 (previous day 26.5), followed by the districts of Neustadt an der Waldnaab, which remains at exactly the same level as the previous day with 34.9 and the former hotspot Tirschenreuth with 48.6 (47.2), in which the incidence has been increasing slightly for days.
In the state capital Munich, on the other hand, the value has fallen rapidly again. If it was 91.2 the day before, it is now 84.9. So nothing should stand in the way of the city’s planned easing from Wednesday. The day before, there had been confusion because the city had initially announced that it would implement the easing as early as Tuesday. In contrast, however, was the statement by Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) who had already announced last week that it would take a total of two days in advance to approve and implement the openings.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder considers extension of the lockdown to be possible – and criticizes sharply
Prime Minister Markus Söder said in an interview with Bild that he would not rule out an extension of the lockdown measures beyond the previous deadline of June 30th. “Just because a law ends, Corona is not over,” says Söder. Even if the third wave seems to be under control, one shouldn’t be mistaken: “We’re not quite over the mountain yet.” As in previous interviews, Söder demanded more speed when it comes to vaccination. He particularly criticized the length of time it took to implement a digital vaccination card. Germany is a “super technology country”, says Söder, but “with us the train is always ten minutes late”.
Update from May 9, 10:24 p.m.: Even more than a year after the outbreak of the corona pandemic, many students are sitting at home in distance lessons every day. Up to an incidence of 100, there are currently no face-to-face classes. Exceptions apply to elementary school students, for example. In an interview with Bild.de , Markus Söder gave students and teachers hope – at least with regard to the coming school year.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder gives students and teachers hope – “Next school year will be a completely different school year”
“Next school year will be a completely different school year,” the Prime Minister clarified. Here he alluded to vaccination options for children. If it goes to Söder, there should be closed group vaccinations for students before the beginning of next year. “That would be a school with a completely different feeling of security. Much more would then be possible, ”says Söder
Update from May 9, 2:47 p.m.: Now the confusion is complete. Apparently, the Munich relaxations for outdoor catering only come into force on Wednesday – although the seven-day incidence is already below the 100 mark for the fifth day in a row.
Background: The Ministry of Health calls for two days of “parental leave” for the relief; one would have been enough for the city of Munich. Among other things, beer gardens should have been able to open from Tuesday.
Update from May 9th, 11:23 am: Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has defended his decision in Bavaria from May 21st to make openings for tourism businesses and hotels actually possible in an interview with “Welt am Sonntag”. The Bavarian special route, which is supposed to enable the Whitsun leave in regions with a stable seven-day incidence below 100, is therefore particularly important “also for the soul of the people”, according to Söder. After all, at Christmas and Easter one had to forego vacation. It is still unclear in which regions the vacation will actually be possible. So far, large parts of Bavaria are still above the incidence of 100 – but the trend is falling almost everywhere.
Corona in the Free State: Munich is about to relax the measures – incidence continues to fall
Update from May 9th, 7:30 am: Reason to be happy in Munich: On the fifth day in a row, the RKI (as of May 9th, 3:12 am) shows a seven-day incidence value of less than 100 for the state capital. At 91.2, the value is also lower than the previous day (92.3). For the city of Munich, this means that tomorrow, Monday (May 10), those responsible for the city of Munich will announce the relaxation of the corona measures, which will take effect from Tuesday (May 12). In Munich, a total of 164 new corona infections were reported within 24 hours. Two other people died of Covid19 disease.
In the entire Free State, the incidence is currently 118.7 and thus only slightly above the national average of 118.6. In the past 24 hours, new corona infections and 20 new deaths related to the virus were reported in 2011. The city of Passau has the lowest incidence value in the Free State with 26.5, followed by the districts of Neustadt an der Waldnaab with 34.9 and Tirschenreuth with 47.2.
Update from May 8, 7:09 p.m.: The corona numbers have been falling for days not only in the state capital, but in the entire Free State. This development brings welcome relaxation: Beer gardens are allowed to open again in the first regions of Bavaria on Monday.
Corona easing in Bavaria: In some regions beer gardens are allowed to open from Monday
In the said rural districts and urban districts, the incidence is stable below 100. In plain language this means: five days in a row. After that two days are planned for implementation, on the eighth day it is allowed to open. In other areas these openings are imminent. An overview of beer garden openings in Bavaria can be found here.
Update from May 8, 2:55 p.m.: The state capital has published the current corona figures on Twitter. In addition to the already known incidence of 92.3 (see first report), the city stated that there were no new deaths. The proportion of mutations is currently 91.7 percent. As of Friday (May 7), 586,759 vaccinations were carried out (454,973 first and 131,786 second vaccinations). “The Munich vaccination quota, based on the population aged 16 and over, is 35.8% for the first vaccination and 10.4% for the second vaccination (total Munich population 30.7% / 8.9%).” the city too.
If Munich is below the limit of 100 on Sunday, easing is possible from Tuesday. Beer gardens open on Monday in some districts and cities in Bavaria – but where exactly? You can find an overview here. *
Corona in Bavaria: Holetschek appeals to vaccination doctors
Update from May 8, 1:18 p.m.: Bavaria’s Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek wants the best possible use of vaccines without any waste in the fight against the corona pandemic. “It is technically and legally possible to take a seventh or eleventh dose from the vaccine bottle, depending on the manufacturer,” as the CSU politician said in Munich. The President of the Bavarian State Medical Association, Gerald Quitterer, also supports the use of all available vaccine doses, which is also recommended by the Federal Ministry of Health.
“At the doctors and in the Bavarian vaccination centers, taking additional doses of vaccine has been a common practice for a long time and it has proven itself every day. I call on the vaccinating facilities to continue to use this option, ”emphasized Holetschek. The vaccinating doctors would not have to worry about a change in liability, as they would ultimately have to be sure that they had drawn the correct amount into the syringes for each dose.
Corona vaccinations in Bavaria: Minister Holetschek does not want to do without a drop of vaccine
The prerequisite for the maximum utilization of the preparations is that the amount of vaccine required by the respective manufacturer can be completely and quality-assured can be taken from an injection vial. The vaccinating doctor must ensure this, Holetschek continues. “It is also important that the vaccine must not be mixed from several bottles.”
And further: “Vaccinating doctors act responsibly and professionally, regardless of whether it is the first, third, sixth or possibly the seventh or eleventh injection. These are professionals who know what they’re doing, and that doesn’t raise the question of legal concerns. “
For the withdrawal of additional vaccination doses – with the preparation from Biontech / Pfizer this also applies to the withdrawal of the sixth dose – special syringe and cannula combinations are necessary. According to Holetschek, doctors can order these in the usual way through pharmacies. Bavaria has already procured the appropriate syringes and cannulas for taking the sixth dose since January and given them to the vaccination centers – thus creating the technical feasibility.
Corona incidence in Munich continues to fall: Easings are imminent – other cities in Bavaria are already opening
Update from May 8, 10:47 a.m.: Munich is heading for easing soon. The incidence has been below the limit of 100 for four days. If the state capital is also below this on Sunday, there will be openings from Tuesday (see first report). Passau is one step further. According to the RKI, the Lower Bavarian city has the lowest incidence in all of Germany on Saturday at 20.8.
As the Three Rivers City writes on its website, the Bavarian state government “gave the necessary agreement” on Friday evening. This means that the City of Passau can define further opening steps in a new general decree. From Monday (May 10th) the following applies: The opening of the outdoor catering is permitted, visitors must book an appointment in advance, and contact tracking must be documented. “If people from two households (…) are sitting at a table, a POC antigen test or self-test * carried out no more than 24 hours ago or a PCR test carried out no more than 48 hours ago for an infection with the coronavirus with a negative result of the Table guests required. “
Corona incidence in Munich continues to fall: Relaxation is imminent – Bavaria’s ex-hotspot opens outdoor catering
First report from May 8th, 9:10 am : Munich – good news for the state capital. The Corona * situation in Munich seems to be relaxing. The Robert Koch Institute * reports a seven-day incidence below 100 for the fourth day in a row. On Saturday it was 92.3 (previous day: 94.1). This means that relaxation of the corona measures is within reach for Munich. Because: If a city or a district is below 100 for five days in a row, easing applies from the day after next – i.e. from Tuesday, if Munich falls below the value on Sunday.
In the event that the incidence is below 100 on Sunday, the city is preparing a general decree, “so from Tuesday, 11.5. Outdoor catering, theaters, concert halls, opera houses and cinemas can reopen and contact-free indoor sports and outdoor contact sports are possible again. ”This can be read on the city’s website.
Corona in Bavaria: Munich incidence below 100 – easing within reach?
For example, the night curfew could soon be eliminated in Munich. In addition, the government around Prime Minister Markus Söder announced further opening steps at the beginning of the week – you can find an overview here *.
