Corona: The changes to the easing in Bavaria from April 30, 2020

Original article dated April 30: Berlin - Chancellor Angela Merkel consulted on Thursday April 30 at a top meeting with the federal and state governments * on how to proceed in the Corona crisis. The result: There will be further easing of existing measures in Germany . However, the competence in many areas lies with the federal states . Not all decisions of the federal government also apply to the Free State of Bavaria. *

After the easing in Germany on Thursday (see below), Markus Söder said in the subsequent press conference that a roadmap for the implementation of the decisions in Bavaria would be developed in the coming week . It is clear that Bavaria will continue to take a more cautious approach. 

Corona loosening: what applies to Bavaria?

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder already warned about the federal government's decisions: "We have achieved most, but some want to get off the field and say the game is won," said Söder on Bayerischer Rundfunk , adding: "That's it unfortunately not so. ”Söder had previously admitted several times that it would loosen more slowly in Bavaria than could be the case in other federal states. He now confirmed this again.

So what applies in Bavaria? Bavaria already had the exit restrictions applicable in the Corona crisis two days before the summit in Berlinextended by one week until May 10th . Until then, the following rules apply in the Free State:

  • Sports and walks are allowed with a non-household person.
  • There is a requirement for a mask * from the age of six in public transport and in shops.
  • As of April 29, many retail stores opened. The sales area must be limited to 800 square meters. 
  • From May 4, services and meetings of up to 50 participants are allowed. In addition, hairdressers, foot care shops and physiotherapies open. 
  • As of May 11, school openings are planned for final classes 2021 and fourth grades. 
  • Further concepts for relaxation for schools, restaurants, hotels, sports facilities and day care centers are to follow. 

We don't rush. Trade can open up to 800sqm, services are possible again from May 4th. Bavaria pays for closed midday care and day care as well as for day care centers. For gradual daycare and school openings, we wait for the federal recommendation. pic.twitter.com/lZPEtT6k7u

Corona loosening in Bavaria: The innovations after the Merkel summit

The federal government now wants to further loosen the restrictions on public life due to the corona pandemic - albeit under strict conditions regarding the number of visitors, minimum distance (1.5 meters) and hygiene protection . Because the successes achieved so far in containing the corona pandemic have allowed "a gradual relaxation of the measures", says the draft decision of the federal and state governments:

  • Services and other religious gatherings are to be permitted again
  • Cultural institutions should be allowed to receive visitors again
  • Also museums , zoos , botanical gardens and monuments are open to the public operating its doors, according to proposed resolution. 

Apart from these limited easing, the current corona requirements in Germany should remain in force at least until May 10 * . Chancellor and country heads want to decide on May 6 whether a "further major opening step" is possible afterwards. Until then, the federal and state ministers are to work out a concept for opening schools, day-care centers and sports facilities.

Researchers in Penzberg have probably made a breakthrough with a view to the corona virus. This could have consequences for the entire Free State and Germany. Markus Söder informs.
