Update from May 14, 12:26 p.m.: Vaccinated and recovered people will no longer need a negative corona test in old people’s and nursing homes in Bavaria in the future. “For residents, relatives and staff, this is a further step towards normalizing life in the facilities.” Health Minister Klaus Holetschek said on Friday. Vaccinated and genesis would now be put on an equal footing with people who tested negative.
For vaccinated persons, the relief with a vaccination certificate issued for them applies. For example, visitors whose final vaccination was at least 15 days ago no longer had to present a negative test certificate when visiting a corresponding facility, Holetschek said.
The exemption from the obligation to provide evidence of a test also applies to those who have recovered. This includes everyone who tested positive for Corona using PCR testing at least 28 days ago, but no more than six months ago. Proof is also required here.
People who have received a single vaccination dose are treated as fully vaccinated – provided that their corona infection was more than six months ago. Corresponding evidence can be provided by submitting a positive PCR test more than six months ago in connection with submission of proof of vaccination.

Update from May 14, 6 a.m.: The seven-day incidence throughout Bavaria continues to fall. On Friday the RKI reported a value of 95.3 (previous day: 101.0). For the first time in almost two months it has fallen below 100. The Free State is thus just below the national average of 96.5.

Corona in Bavaria: Numerous investigations in connection with emergency aid
Update from May 13, 4:09 p.m.: In connection with Corona emergency aid, more than 1,400 investigations into subsidy fraud * have been initiated in Bavaria since the beginning of the pandemic. A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice said this at the request of Merkur.de . It is about aid of at least 11.26 million euros. Cases in which the requested aid money were not paid are not included here. According to the ministry, they add up to a further 10.3 million euros.
“Fraud is not worth it,” warned Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich last June. “In addition to the obligation to repay the Corona emergency aid, there is a risk of high fines and imprisonment of up to five years.” A further 361 proceedings are still being determined, with aid funds amounting to 4.77 million euros. A further 804 proceedings have already been dealt with, for example because they have been discontinued.
Corona in Bavaria: tourism companies demand opening – “need a specific date”
Update from May 13, 1:25 p.m.: Tourism companies in Bavaria are calling for an opening regardless of the seven-day incidence for vaccinated, convalescent and people with a negative corona test. The link to a value below 100 is not realistic, criticized Armin Hollweck from the Hotel and Restaurant Association in Oberallgäu. “We need a specific date as the opening date for our companies, our guests, our employees!” He quoted from a letter to the state government.
FDP parliamentary group leader Martin Hagen (FDP) demanded: “Vaccinated, convalescent and tested people must be allowed to go on vacation everywhere in Bavaria!” At the same time, the quarantine requirement for vaccinated, recovered and negative tested travelers returning from countries with an incidence of up to 200 will be lifted. This is a discrimination against the local hospitality industry.
On Monday, the Bavarian cabinet had decided to relax from May 21st. In regions with stable corona numbers, hotels, guest houses, holiday apartments, campsites and youth hostels are allowed to reopen to tourists. Hollweck stated, however, that this was not practical. “How does politics envision it? If after a few days the numbers should rise again above 100, should we tell the guest at breakfast that he can now eat, but then has to go home again immediately? In Oberallgäu, the seven-day incidence on Thursday was 138.5, according to the Robert Koch Institute.
Bavaria: Corona rapid tests from now on also in drugstores and hardware stores
Update from May 13, 10:05 a.m .: In Bavaria, corona rapid tests should now also be possible in facilities such as drug stores and hardware stores. “We are using it to expand the tests more and more. Nobody should have to search long if they need a quick test with evidence in order to be able to go about their everyday business, for example. ”Health Minister Klaus Holetschek said on Thursday in Munich. The rapid antigen tests must be carried out by trained personnel.
According to the notification, interested institutions can register on the ministry’s website. You would then have to get the tests on the open market and settle with the Bavarian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians. The federal government bears the costs, as Holetschek said. Citizens have been able to have themselves tested in local test centers as well as by doctors and pharmacies since March.
