“Both countries have some of the toughest regulations that exist in Europe,” said Söder about Bavaria and Saxony. The measures would have an effect. According to experts, these are real numbers. Again and again there were reports that the health authorities could not keep up with the reports. It is getting better, but has not yet given the all-clear: “Delta is flattening out, but Omikron is lurking (…) Nothing good can be expected from Omikron,” says Söder.
Söder advocates an Omikron MPK “very early in January”. It is not enough just to react to the waves. The Omikron strategy is not uniform. In Munich there are very strict quarantine regulations at the airport, in Frankfurt, for example, this is not the case. He calls for “uniform, national regulations”. Vaccination is the only way out of the pandemic. From tomorrow the children will be vaccinated. He is unhappy about the STIKO’s “as well as” recommendation. It would be crucial to think about reforming the STIKO. For example, more staff to get ahead of the situation and not to run after it, says Söder.

Holetschek assesses the corona situation in Bavaria
Update from December 14th, 11.30 a.m.: The corona numbers in Bavaria continue to decrease (see previous update).

In order for the positive trend to continue, one should not let up. “We can only manage to contain the corona pandemic together. This requires consistent action and unfortunately also restrictions, ”says Holetschek.
“The Omicron virus variant worries us all. Because: There is not yet sufficient information on how the virus variant behaves, “Holetschek told Merkur.de and appealed to the protective measures to be followed, to wear a mask and to minimize contacts. “And, of course, the following still applies: vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate,” said the minister.
Corona: seven-day incidence in Bavaria is falling
Update from December 14th, 10:06 am: The seven-day incidence in Bavaria has decreased again compared to the previous day. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gave the value on Tuesday morning as 382.6. The day before, it was 399.1, which is the first time it fell below the 400 mark. A week ago an incidence of 520.6 had been reached. Health Minister Klaus Holetschek also sees an improved corona situation in the Free State, but also expressed a concern to Merkur.de. *
In total, the health authorities in Bavaria reported 2,979 new corona infections and 108 deaths to the RKI within one day. This is evident from the numbers that reflect the status of the RKI dashboard at 7.25 a.m. The number of new infections in Bavaria has been falling for about two weeks. However, it also plays a role that the health authorities are overloaded and that there are delayed reports to the State Office for Health and Food (LGL).
The situation in Bavarian hospitals is still critical. According to the Divi intensive care register, there were 1,012 Covid patients in the intensive care units on Tuesday morning, more than half of whom were ventilated.
Corona in Bavaria: Is Söder announcing the hoped-for relaxation for boosted people today? Statement eagerly awaited
Munich – On Tuesday, December 14th, (11 a.m.) the cabinets from Bavaria and Saxony want to meet for a virtual meeting – two weeks later than originally planned. The focus is on the fight against Corona *, also against the background of the new Omikron variant. For this reason, two scientists are also present at the meeting. Then the Prime Ministers Markus Söder (CSU *) and Michael Kretschmer (CDU *) want to inform about the results of the deliberations at 1 p.m. – in simultaneous press conferences at which the other head of government is virtually connected.
Originally, the two cabinets should have been switched on two weeks ago – but that had to be canceled at short notice due to federal-state consultations on the corona crisis.
Bavaria and Saxony are jointly advising on Corona – will the Free State be eased for those who have been boosted?
Before the joint consultations with Saxony, the Bavarian cabinet initially advises separately. It is particularly about the extension of the Bavarian Corona Ordinance. In addition, the planned discontinuation of the compulsory test for vaccinated persons with booster vaccinations * should be an issue wherever 2G plus is otherwise required. The federal and state health ministers also want to discuss this in the afternoon. (kam / dpa) * Merkur.de / bayern is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
For many people in Bavaria there are currently booster vaccinations against the corona virus. The Ministry of Health is therefore answering important questions. *
