Munich, May 18, 10.15 a.m.: There is good news from Munich: With an incidence of 46.2, the state capital is below the 50 mark for the first time in months. Nevertheless, Bavaria is still represented in the top places nationwide in the district incidences. Schweinfurt is currently in second place with a 7-day incidence * of 262.5. Coburg is in third place with 221.6. Overall, at least according to the official RKI figures, the incidence for the Free State is falling with the infections newly reported on Monday. With 604 newly reported cases, it is 81. As I said, these are the official figures. It remains to be seen to what extent the health authorities in Bavaria are not a little behind in terms of the actual number of infections due to the weekend and the public holiday on Thursday.
Corona situation in Bavaria: Söder appears in front of the press at 1 p.m. – are there any new easings?
Markus Söder is currently discussing new opening steps with his ministers. The opening of outdoor pools is planned for the end of this week. How many outdoor pools actually make use of the opportunity is, of course, an open question given the current capricious weather in Bavaria *. It is also always assumed that the incidence in the respective region is stable below 100. Hotels and holiday apartments should also be able to receive guests again. After all, cultural events with a maximum of 250 participants should be possible again.
In addition, the move away from vaccination prioritization for general practitioners is on the agenda. From Thursday, vaccinations should be given in doctors’ offices without prioritization. However, various general practitioners see this critically. *
Furthermore, according to the State Chancellery, the government coalition should conduct a mid-term review. Free voters under Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger and CSU under Söder have been ruling Bavaria since autumn 2018. The press conference begins at 1 p.m. We are there live. * Merkur.de / bayern is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
