- Vice-Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger does not want to be vaccinated for the time being (see update from May 7, 8:25 p.m.).
- This news ticker is updated regularly.
Update from May 7th, 8:25 p.m.: For a long time it has been the hobbyhorse of the Bavarian Minister of Economics, Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters), so to speak: the opening of the gastronomy, hotel and culture industries. The first easing steps have now been decided and a visit to the beer garden is made much easier, especially for those who have been vaccinated. But Aiwanger himself does not want to enjoy this pleasure. As the BR reports, the Vice Prime Minister wants to wait with a vaccination. He is the last one in the state government without a vaccination or vaccination appointment.
When asked by the BR , Aiwanger said he was letting the vaccination “come” to him. Others are more important. “I don’t have to have it first. I am not a vaccination opponent, but also not a vaccination euphoric. ”The head of the country, Markus Söder (CSU), does not want to evaluate the decision of his vice-president. But State Chancellery Minister Florian Herrmann (CSU) said: “Vaccination is the only way to defeat the pandemic. The Bavarian Cabinet naturally has a role model function here and also fulfills it. “
And CSU parliamentary group leader Thomas Kreuzer said that he considered it “right for politicians to lead by example. I got myself vaccinated with Astrazeneca * in order to actively participate in the vaccination campaign ”. But, according to Kreuzer, there is “no compulsory vaccination and if someone has concerns, you have to respect that with a deputy prime minister just as much as with any other citizen.”
Corona in Bavaria: Tirschenreuth rushes to open the outdoor catering
Update from May 7, 12:05 p.m.: The Tirschenreuth district allows outdoor catering to be opened from Monday. This would be published in the Official Journal in the afternoon. A spokesman for the district office said on Friday. Tirschenreuth is currently the district in Bavaria that has had an incidence of less than 100 for the longest time. It has been below this value since April 14th. In the first two corona waves, Tirschenreuth was hit hard by the virus.
In several other rural and urban districts that are eligible to open outdoor restaurants on Monday, however, the ministry had not yet given its approval in the morning. From Monday, districts and urban districts with a stable incidence of less than 100 should be able to allow beer, pub gardens and open bar areas to be opened under hygiene regulations. For this, however, the circles must obtain the approval of the Ministry of Health. There were 10 applications there by late Friday morning.
By Friday noon, the Ministry of Health had received 10 applications. In addition to Tirschenreuth, they came from the districts of Landsberg, Lindau, Amberg, Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Starnberg and Schwabach as well as the cities of Passau and Regen. They would be “benevolently examined,” said a spokesman for the health ministry. He did not comment on the results.
Corona in Bavaria: incidence continues with a clear trend
Update from May 7, 6:38 a.m.: The trend of falling corona numbers in the Free State continues on Friday. According to the RKI (as of 7.5., 3.09 a.m.), the seven-day incidence in Bavaria is 122 today (previous day 123.8). The Free State thus remains in seventh place among the federal states. In the past 24 hours, 49 people died in Bavaria as a result of a Covid-19 infection, around 3,400 more are now considered to have recovered.
The incidence is currently highest in the Franconian district of Coburg at 303.2, which is even a slight deterioration compared to the previous day (302). On the other hand, in the second hotspot, the city of Schweinfurt, the incidence fell from 295.7 to 273.3. They are the only two areas in Bavaria where the incidence is still over 200. The city of Passau continues to have the lowest incidence with 30.6 (34.1). This makes Passau the city with the second lowest incidence in Germany. Only the district of Schleswig-Flensburg in the far north of the Federal Republic is lower. This is followed by the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab with 41.3 (44.5). In the district of Kitzingen, too, the incidence, at 48.3, is below the value of 50. 3).
Update from May 6, 7:14 p.m.: For those who have recovered and have been vaccinated, relaxations have been in effect in the Free State since Thursday, May 6. You can shop again without a negative Corona test. This is the result of an urgent procedure by the Bavarian government.
But Munich’s retailers are anything but enthusiastic about Söders Hau-Ruck campaign. “From our point of view – to put it cautiously – not just an absurdity, but an unprecedented ignorance of the concerns of the companies”, complains Wolfgang Fischer, head of Munich City Partner. The new measures would now have to be implemented at the push of a button, so to speak – otherwise there is a risk of fines.
Corona in Bavaria: Police demand clear guidelines for easing – warning of “paper chaos”
Update from May 6, 3:46 p.m.: In the corona pandemic, the police in Bavaria demanded clear requirements for proof of vaccinated and convalescent people. In connection with controls of vaccinated and recovered persons, the police urgently need a clear regulatory situation, said the chairman of the regional association of the German Police Union (DPolG), Jürgen Köhnlein, on Thursday in Munich (see update from 12.23 p.m.). He warned of a “mess of paper” and massive forgery of documents.
The leader of the Greens in the state parliament, Katharina Schulze, announced that the advance of the Söder government was again causing many questions and uncertainties. The “Schnell-Schnell” will again be carried out on the backs of the police, health authorities and shopkeepers. “When will the Söder government finally learn that you have to do your homework beforehand, involve those involved and then make the big announcement?” Said Schulze.
In Bavaria, relief came into force on Thursday for people with full corona vaccination protection and for people who had survived an infection. For the relaxation in the area of private meetings or test obligations, the vaccination or a confirmed infection must be proven by means of a PCR test. A uniform corona vaccination certificate is currently being planned at the federal level.
Relaxation in Bavaria from today – holiday at Pentecost? “We need answers”
Update from May 6, 2:59 p.m .: After the announced opening for tourism, a booking boom in Upper Bavarian holiday regions at Whitsun has not yet materialized. The interest is great, but there are still uncertainties, said the managing director of the Upper Bavaria and Munich tourism association, Oswald Pehel. “We are in the process of collecting and clarifying questions. We need answers, especially with regard to the test strategy. ”The opening step, however, is a very important signal.
From May 21, hotels and holiday apartments should be allowed to receive guests – but only if the seven-day incidence is stable below 100. “Immediately after Prime Minister Markus Söder’s press conference, our phones ran hot,” said Pehel. Many vacationers wanted to come. There is also lively demand for the summer.
In many places, hopes rest on the summer. “Last summer was excellent and we are assuming that it will be the same again,” said the Deputy Managing Director of the Bad Reichenhall Tourism Society, Sophie Oder. “We are definitely in good spirits.”
The situation is similar in Chiemgau. There are bookings for Whitsun “in the normal ratio”, said the head of Tourist Info Aschau and Sachrang, Herbert Reiter. “We cannot confirm excessive hype because there are too many uncertainties.” For example, it is unclear which certificate vaccinated and convalescents need.
Police for clear requirements for proof of vaccinated and convalescent people
Update from May 6, 12:23 p.m.: In the corona pandemic, the police in Bavaria demanded clear requirements for proof of vaccinated and convalescent people. In connection with controls of vaccinated and convalescent people, the police urgently need a clear regulatory framework. This was announced by the chairman of the regional association of the German Police Union (DPolG), Jürgen Köhnlein, on Thursday in Munich.
He warned against a “mess of papers” with “vaccination booklets” and health certificates as well as massive forgery of documents. It is unclear how the police can check the documents presented to her for accuracy. The union therefore demanded that it be clarified immediately whether there would be digital solutions for the detection of vaccinated and recovered persons and whether data could be exchanged between the police and health authorities.
In Bavaria, relief came into effect on Thursday for people with full corona vaccination protection as well as for people who had survived infection (see update from 6.40 a.m.). For the relaxation in the area of private meetings or test obligations, the vaccination or a confirmed infection must be proven by means of a PCR test. A uniform corona vaccination certificate is currently being planned at the federal level.
Corona in Bavaria: Munich confirms social corona scissors and wants to react
Update from May 6, 9.42 a.m.: Social hot spots are often also corona hot spots. Bavaria’s state capital is no exception. Similar to other major German cities, the rate of Corona * infections in socially disadvantaged areas is higher than the population average, as health officer Beatrix Zurek (SPD *) announced to the city council on Wednesday.
In some districts, the infection rate is 4.4 percent, in districts with a higher socio-economic standard around 2.4 percent. However, the health officer made it clear: “There aren’t as big differences in Munich as there are in Cologne.” There the seven-day incidence was last in some quarters of 500. Nevertheless, according to Zurek, it is obvious: “The worse the social situation, the more higher the incidence. ”This has probably to do with cramped living conditions or precarious working conditions of those affected.
Munich does not want to remain inactive here and create better vaccination options for people who live in precarious situations. In addition, public relations work is to be improved in order to better reach certain sections of the population. The city’s information on the vaccination campaign * on the Internet is now available in 15 languages. Mobile vaccination teams – similar to what is already happening in the elderly and service centers – are also planned.
Corona in Bavaria: Holetschek calls for more vaccination doses per doctor in the country
Update from May 6, 8:31 a.m.: The Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) wants to send more vaccine doses to doctors in rural regions. In a statement on Thursday, he called for an immediate readjustment by the federal government in terms of vaccine distribution in rural areas. The federal government must have the same percentage of vaccine available there “despite the low density of doctors and in view of its particular structural challenges”. For example, according to Holetschek, the same quantities of vaccine doses could be distributed to fewer doctors. In addition, Holetschek considers special contingents for vaccination centers to be possible. The prerequisite for this, however, is compliance with the promised vaccine deliveries. The aim, according to Holetschek, is still to be able to offer as many Bavarian residents as possible a quick vaccination offer.
Update from May 6, 6:40 a.m.: As of Thursday, people who have been completely vaccinated against the coronavirus or who have fully recovered from it have more freedom in Bavaria again. The planned easements, which were also anchored in the Bavarian Corona Ordinance, affect several areas at the same time. The rule is that those who have recovered have to prove their infection from the contagious period using a PCR test. In addition, the infection must have been at least 28 days ago and there must be no more symptoms. If the infection was detected more than six months ago, one is again not considered to have recovered. Fully vaccinated people can claim their vaccination protection from 14 days after the 2nd vaccination. In the absence of a digital vaccination certificate, they can currently only prove it with their yellow vaccination certificate on paper.
Corona in Bavaria: This is changing for those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered
Fully vaccinated and convalescent people are exempted from the test requirement, which is valid for retail shops or a visit to a museum, for example. If the seven-day incidence where the affected people live is above the limit value of 100, the night curfew is also no longer applicable, which means that vaccinated and convalescent people can stay outside their home at any time and without good reason.
Obligation to test, exit, quarantine: Great relaxation in the Free State for vaccinated and convalescent people
Fully vaccinated and recovered persons will no longer count towards the maximum number of contacts allowed. This means that they can meet more people again regardless of the regional seven-day incidence. The amended regulation also provides relief for quarantine at home after contact with people who can be proven to have been infected with the coronavirus. This is also no longer applicable for vaccinated and convalescent people.
Corona in the Free State: Incident in large parts continues to descend
In Bavaria, meanwhile, the incidence has fallen further and, according to the RKI (as of May 6, 3.09 a.m.), is 123.8 (previous day 131.1). The incidence is currently highest in the Franconian district of Coburg with 302, followed by the city of Schweinfurt with 295.7. The city of Passau currently has the lowest incidence with 34.1, followed by the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab with 44.5. The state capital Munich, which fell below the incidence limit of 100 the day before, is still below that today, at 98.3. A total of 36 cities and counties in the Free State are now below the incidence of 100. That is ten more than on Wednesday. A further 35 are below the threshold of 165, which is intended as the limit for face-to-face or alternate teaching in schools.
Update from May 5, 7:22 p.m.: The Bavarian district of Hof has reached a corona vaccination rate of more than 40 percent. The proportion of people vaccinated at least once in the total population was last at 43.59 percent, as the district office announced on Wednesday. The three-river city of Passau * has a similarly high vaccination rate. There, the proportion of first vaccinations on Wednesday was 46.21 percent of the population, as the city announced. Like the district of Hof, the border town in Lower Bavaria was at times one of the regions with the highest new corona infections in the country.
With a view to the entire Free State, the vaccination rate on Wednesday was 30.0 percent, according to the Robert Koch Institute. So far, 7.8 percent of people in the Free State have had complete vaccination protection.
Caritas boss calls for corona vaccinations for socially disadvantaged people
According to Caritas Bavaria, socially disadvantaged population groups should be given preference in the corona vaccination *. This applies in particular if the prioritization falls as announced soon. “What was true before the pandemic is slowly becoming explosive: people who live in precarious circumstances are exposed to a significantly increased risk of infection,” emphasized the state director of the Catholic welfare association, Bernhard Piendl, on Wednesday in Munich.
Socio-economic framework conditions would have a significant impact on people’s health. “This often results in cramped living conditions or language barriers due to a migration background,” explained Piendl. “Vaccinations must not depend on social status and network, or whether you have a doctor among friends.” Migrants in particular need special address and support. For example, there is great uncertainty in the communal accommodation for asylum seekers.
After Söder’s government announced that it would relax: “Great hectic pace” and some unanswered questions
First report from May 5, 4.30 p.m .: Munich – In the state capital, the seven-day incidence * on Wednesday, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI *), was 99 – and thus below the important limit of 100. It is five days in a row, the Munich can look forward to easing the Corona * measures. For example, the nightly curfew would then no longer apply.
Corona in Bavaria: Munich hopes for easing – situation in Schweinfurt tense
While Munich is hoping for easing, the corona situation in Schweinfurt is tense. In the Lower Franconian city, the incidence is 321.9 – the second highest value in all of Germany. The district of Coburg is in seventh place with a value of 267.4, the city of Hof (266.2) in tenth place. The RKI reports an incidence of 131.1 for the entire Free State. On Saturday (May 1st) it was still 150.4. Here too – as in Munich – a downward trend can be seen.
Corona rules: Söder announces easing – tourism industry eased, but questions are still open
Prime Minister Markus Söder announced easing for the Free State on Monday. In counties with a stable seven-day incidence below 100, for example, outdoor dining is allowed to open until 10 p.m. At the start of the Whitsun holidays, tourism should also be possible again – also with an incidence below 100 – and hotels, campsites and holiday homes should be allowed to open. You can find an overview of all rules in our overview *.
The news brought relief to tourism companies – but many questions remain unanswered. “Of course, the joy that it starts again prevails,” said the Bavarian Dehoga regional manager, Thomas Geppert on Wednesday. In view of the still unclear guidelines for companies, however, one understands that “there is a little bit of uncertainty”.
Whitsun leave possible: Announcement by the Söder government triggers “a lot of hectic”
After the announcement by the Bavarian state government, there is now “a lot of hectic”, said the tourism director of the city of Füssen in Allgäu, Stefan Fredlmeier. The telephones ran “warm to hot”, but not predominantly with booking requests, but with questions such as: When can you expect an opening? Which requirements do guests have to adhere to? What if the seven-day incidence rises above 100 while on vacation?
Jörg Hentschel, spokesman for the Franconian Tourism Association, also emphasized that many questions were still open. He would therefore like to see clarity soon about the specific rules for vacationing in Bavaria: “The earlier this is communicated, the better.” The spokeswoman for the Chiemgau Tourism Association, Claudia Kreier, said, “Our businesses have now learned to accept this uncertainty live and react flexibly. “
Under these conditions there should also be opening options for “special tourist infrastructures”. Economics minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) named “leisure facilities from cable cars to coaches” as possible examples. According to a spokesman for the Ministry of Health, the specific requirements, such as test obligations and hygiene concepts, are to be decided at a cabinet meeting on Monday.
