Update from October 23, 8:45 a.m.:

The Free State of

Bavaria

now wants to take harder action against

rule sinners

in the

corona measures ordered

.

Therefore, since 7:00 pm on Friday morning are amplified

controllers

of the Bavarian

police

go.

Above all, you should

check

compliance with the

mask requirement

.

The locally applicable

warning level

naturally plays

a role here.

In places with a particularly high

7-day incidence,

such as the Fürstenfeldbruck district, which has an incidence of over 100,

mouth and nose protection

must be

worn more intensely.

But also in

Underground stations

in

Munich

or

Nuremberg are

to be checked more intensively.

In the event of violations,

warning

fines

of around

55 euros will be

imposed.

In the case of

intent

, the fine can be up to

250 euros

.

Corona in Bavaria: Control day to comply with the measures - readiness decreased?

There had already been such a

control day

in the spring

, on which up to 3000 violations of the

mask requirement were

punished.

Today's action is also necessary from a politician's point of view.

According to the assessments of politicians and the police, the

willingness

to comply with the

corona rules

and thus also the mask requirement has

decreased massively in

many places

- today's action is now intended to

instill more vigilance in

the mask-grouch.

Corona measures in the Free State: In these places, a mask is required if the incidence is over 50

If the

incidence

value is over 50, as is now the case in many Bavarian districts, it is mandatory to wear a mask in heavily frequented

public places

, on traffic areas, including

elevators,

and in

leisure facilities

such as amusement parks and playgrounds.

The conditions also apply to

cultural sites

such as exhibitions, museums or zoos, unless otherwise stated locally.

The 7-day incidence for the Free State of Bavaria continues to rise and was

63.8 new infections

per 100,000 inhabitants

on Thursday (October 22)

.

The

Berchtesgadener Land district remains the

front runner

with a temporary incidence of 292 (currently 232.8, as of October 23, 8 a.m.).

A second, regional

lockdown

has already been

imposed

on the district, which is also a popular holiday region

.

Corona: Criticism of Söder's new warning level for Bavaria - Munich reports more new infections than ever

Update from October 22nd, 6.10 p.m.:

Due to the exploding

corona numbers

, a stricter mask requirement,

strict contact

restrictions and a curfew in restaurants will

apply from Friday in three quarters of the districts and independent cities in Bavaria

.

Eight regions have even reached the

“dark red” warning level newly introduced

by

Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU)

.

In view of the increasing numbers, Söder called for patience and strict adherence to the

corona rules

, but also warned against panic.

The situation is currently developing as feared and as forecast.

He reckons that the number of infections will initially increase exponentially - but one hopes that the countermeasures will have an effect in two weeks.

Corona in Bavaria: appointment chaos with new regulation

Update from October 22nd, 4:22 p.m.:

In Bavarian

Corona hotspots

with drastic numbers far beyond the previous warning levels, additional restrictions apply from this Friday.

That is one day later than initially announced - originally the new editions should have been in effect on Thursday.

Prime Minister

Markus Söder (CSU)

had drawn in the new

"dark red" warning level

on Wednesday in a government declaration in the state parliament: In regions in which the number of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants is exceeded within seven days, events are only allowed with a maximum of 50 participants take place, and it is a

curfew from 21:00

.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Numbers chaos in Rottal-Inn - incidence twice as high as assumed

Update from October 22nd, 3:36 p.m.: An error has crept in

when transmitting the

corona case numbers

in

the Rottal-Inn district

.

They reported

a

7-day incidence value

of 88.9

to the

Robert Koch Institute *

.

However, the actual value is almost twice as high.

A spokesman for the district office confirmed on Thursday that the

incidence

was

163 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants

.

The district is thus above the new “dark red” limit of 100 cases.

The spokesman said that the wrong number was probably due to a transmission error.

This means that eight districts and cities in Bavaria are above the

"dark red" Corona warning value

of 100. The

State Office for Health and Food Safety

(LGL) gave the city and district of Schweinfurt, Neustadt an der Waldnaab, Weiden in the Upper Palatinate on Thursday with values ​​over 100 , Augsburg, the district of Passau and the front-runner district of Berchtesgadener Land (292).

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Munich reports the highest number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic

Update from October 22nd, 2:47 p.m.:

The

corona infection

numbers are

exploding

in

Munich

.

290 new cases were reported on Wednesday (October 21).

This is the highest value since the

beginning of the corona pandemic

.

So far, the highest report was from 22./23.

March for 274 new cases.

The

7-day incidence rose

to 82.4 in the Bavarian capital.

In # Munich, 290 new # coronavirus cases were confirmed for Wednesday, October 21.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder expects the number of infections to rise

Update from October 22nd, 1:44 p.m

.: Markus Söder anticipates that the

corona infection

numbers will initially continue to rise significantly and urges

patience.

He feared that the number of infections will soon skyrocket again, said

Bavaria's Prime Minister

on Thursday in the health department in Munich.

“We hope that the measures will have effects in two weeks.”



Nevertheless, Söder emphasized that the health system was better prepared than it was at the beginning of the pandemic: “The

risk

that we will be caught like in spring, the elderly, the elderly Nursing homes, the hospitals, are significantly reduced. ”The tracking of infection chains must be guaranteed for as long as possible despite the rapidly increasing numbers, said the Prime Minister and once again called on all people to be

careful and careful

.

“If we do a little more now, we will be spared a lot of other things.”



In

Munich

, the infection rate per 100,000 inhabitants rose to over 82 within seven days on Thursday, said Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) - the number was “incredibly high ".

With the help of the measures, however, he hopes the situation will ease: “I am sure that the results will be seen at the beginning of the holiday at the latest.

I hope that the incidence values ​​will not continue to rise and that we will get this issue under control together. "

Corona prevention: With contact tracing teams in the Munich Health Department.

Tracking the infections is critical.

Bavaria strengthens the health authorities with a further 2,000 people.

There is a bonus for employees in the health service - thank you for your work.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: 76 police officers and collective bargaining employees infected

Update from October 22nd, 1:05 p.m

.: Bavarian police officers sometimes risk their own

health

in the Corona crisis on site

.

From a parliamentary question by State Parliament

Vice

President

Markus Rinderspacher

it emerges that currently (as of October 19) 76 civil servants and employees of the Bavarian police

are infected

with the

corona

virus.

236 police officers are currently in corona quarantine.

The statistics also show 345 recovered since March 9, 2020.

"Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann replied to Rinderspacher that the quarantine situation has not yet had any impact on the police's ability to work.

The police associations take measures adapted to the situation so that the functionality and operational capability is maintained, ”said a press release by the Bavarian SPD.

Rinderspacher thanks the Bavarian police for their work.

“Our police officers check compliance with the corona rules on site and sometimes risk their own health.

That deserves respect and recognition.

I hope that the police

corona controls will find the highest

possible acceptance among the citizens in the next few months. "It also says:" Between mid-March and mid-September there were more than two million police controls to monitor the corona infection protection regulations in Bavaria. " as a further inquiry by Rinderspacher had shown.

Corona: Massive criticism of Söder's new warning level for Bavaria - Munich calls the situation "very worrying"

Update from October 22nd, 9.47 a.m

.: The number of people infected with corona continues to grow in Munich.

Head of the health department Rudolf Fuchs and his team are fighting at the forefront.

The

tz

spoke to Fuchs about the current corona situation in the state capital.

“We see the infectious situation in 

Munich 

as very unstable.

The 

incidence of infections 

is increasing and is spread over the city.

A significant proportion of 

new infections 

can be traced back to cases in connection with meetings of larger groups of people, including in public spaces.

At the moment we have not yet reached the 

highs 

from 

spring 

, the increase over the past few days is still very worrying.

I therefore

urge you to

 continue to take

the generally 

applicable hygiene measures

seriously.

 I see the

tightened 

measures of the Free State

as absolutely necessary ”, he explained.

The situation in the Munich hospitals was also discussed in the interview. *

Coronavirus in Bavaria: warning level "dark red" - massive criticism of Söder's approach

Update from October 22nd, 9:09 am

: Prime Minister Markus Söder announced a new, "dark red" warning level for the Free State on Wednesday.

He received

criticism from the German Association of Cities

for his advance

(see update from October 22nd, 6.43 a.m.).

Also

Bavarian SPD party chief Horst Arnold

criticized the new limit.

“A

traffic light

with four different colors is problematic.

In principle, no one knows where they are, ”said Arnold on Thursday the radio station Bavaria 2.



The new

warning level

applies if the number of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants is exceeded within seven days.

Then events can only take place with a maximum of 50 participants and there is a

curfew

from 9 p.m.

"Dark red may certainly be a suitable means," admitted Arnold.

"But I think the important thing is that it moves away from announcements, more informed and, above all this information up to the municipalities down one reflects on one, because there must indeed be implemented."



According to

the Robert Koch Institute

are Seven Bavarian municipalities and districts were affected by the dark red warning level as of Thursday: City and district of Schweinfurt (102.9 and 115.2), the district of Neustadt an der Waldnaab (104.8), Weiden in der Oberpfalz (121.7), Augsburg (120.4), the district of Passau (103.3) and the district of Berchtesgadener Land (292.6).

Söder announces dark red corona warning level in Bavaria: German Association of Cities sees the advance critical

Update from October 22nd, 6.43 a.m.:

In his government declaration before the Bavarian state parliament on Wednesday (October 21),

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder announced

a new "dark red"

corona warning level

for the Free State.

From an incidence of 100, there should then be more stringent measures.

The

German Association of Cities

sees this approach critically.

Managing Director Helmut Dedy told the German Press Agency: “The people still have to come along with what we do.

The system of

rules and restrictions

must be understandable. ”The acceptance in the population should not suffer.

"Against this background, I see the new additional level in Bavaria critically."



The cities took great care to

curb

the number of

new corona infections

with targeted measures

, said Dedy.

"They are also adjusting to the ever stricter requirements that are intended to prevent the specified indicators for 100,000 residents from being exceeded in seven days." However, the situation is now confusing for citizens and experts alike.

"What is valid from 35, what from 50 new infections?

Now there should be a

third stage

in Bavaria

with further restrictions.

And in the Berchtesgaden district there is actually a lockdown. ”



There are two central goals, said Dedy.

“The first is to be able to trace the contacts of those infected.

With high numbers of infections, this is hardly possible in the region; the health authorities need further support here very quickly.

And the other big goal is not to overload the hospitals. ”To do this, the number of infections would have to be reduced.

"We want to do this in the next few weeks in the cities and districts with high numbers of infections - but we need the solidarity of each and every one of us."

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Passau exceeds the 50 limit value

Update from October 21, 9:19 p.m

.: The

Passau

district

exceeded

the critical

seven-day incidence value

of 50

on Wednesday

.

The three-river city currently has 56.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

From Thursday, therefore, stricter rules will apply throughout the city: The

mask requirement

has been expanded, private meetings are limited to two households or a maximum of five people, a curfew from 10 p.m. and a ban on alcohol apply in restaurants.

City of Passau exceeds the 7-day incidence value of 50 - Stricter measures apply from Thursday, October 22nd, 2020: https://t.co/z2eadWuY7D pic.twitter.com/NyU59BgAZk

- Stadt_Passau (@Stadt_Passau) October 21, 2020

Mayor

Jürgen Dupper

(SPD) made an appeal to the citizens: “It's a challenge, but if we all tackle it together with discipline, then we will survive it well.” In

the Passau district

, the incidence value is 84.1 in one even more critical area.

Corona in Bavaria: Covid-19 outbreak at turkey slaughterhouse in Ampfing

Update from 6.10 p.m

.: At a

turkey slaughterhouse

in the

Mühldorf am Inn

district

, other employees have been proven to be

infected

with the

corona

virus.

In the company in

Ampfing

, 78 people were infected within a week, the district office reported on Wednesday.

The health department therefore ordered even stricter hygiene measures for the company and even more frequent tests of all employees.

According to the district authority, there is no evidence that the infections from the slaughterhouse were transmitted to the rest of the population.

Due to the numerous employees who tested positive, the Upper Bavarian district has almost 122 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days, without the cases from the turkey slaughterhouse, this value would only be around 54.

Update from 3:42 p.m.:

188 new corona cases

 were reported

in Munich for Tuesday (October 20) 

.

A total of 14,001 infections have so far been confirmed in the state capital.

This figure includes 11,767 people who have already recovered and 236 deaths.

The 

7-day incidence

 of Munich is according to Robert Koch Institute (RKI) 75.3.

The number of 

reproductions

 for Munich is 1.09 (as of October 20th)

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Söder issues a government statement - "dark red" warning level should come

Update from 2:25 p.m.:

The corona numbers are increasing.

In Bavaria there should therefore be a new

"dark red" warning level

.

Markus Söder said that on Wednesday in his

government statement

in the Bavarian state parliament.

This also has consequences for cultural events.

With an incidence of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days,

events are

limited to a maximum of 50 participants.

In addition, there should be a curfew from 9 p.m.

According to Söder, there should be exceptions for church services and demonstrations.

Events of all kinds are affected by the restriction to 50 participants, including

cultural events

such as theaters and cinemas, but also club meetings.

In his government statement, Söder also announced that commuters from foreign corona hotspots would have to test.

Anyone who has been in a

risk area

within 14 days before entering the country

and commutes to Germany to work should in future have to show a negative corona test once a week.

"Our goal is that the borders remain open," emphasized Söder, but added: "If you want to keep borders open, you must also ensure more security." The measure is likely to affect

commuters

from Austria and the Czech Republic

in particular

.

According to the Robert Koch Institute, the Czech Republic, which is one of the countries with the highest infection rates per 100,000 inhabitants in Europe, is just as much a risk area as the Austrian states of Tyrol and Vorarlberg, which border directly on Bavaria.

The Free State wants to

support

self-employed individuals

(e.g. freelance artists)

in the corona pandemic

.

Bavaria's Prime Minister announced a funding program at noon.

The state funds should be understood as a substitute for the lack of entrepreneurial wages and as a means of subsistence.

“Bavaria has a high level of art.

I don't want this pandemic to end up destroying the entire art and cultural scene, ”said Söder.

The artists showed people that there is more and more than Corona.

Söder had discussed the day before in a panel of experts with cultural workers.

Corona debate in the state parliament: Schulze attacks Söder sharply "Fighting pandemics or self-profiling?"

Update from 2:07 p.m.:

Katharina Schulze speaks after Markus Söder and attacks the Bavarian Prime Minister sharply.

He presented himself as a crisis manager, although Bavaria has a high number of infected people and most of the deaths.

"Are you interested in fighting pandemics or

self-profiling

?" She asks the CSU boss.

Update 1.56 p.m

.: “Ordinances and money alone are not enough.

Everyone has to take part, ”explains the CSU boss in conclusion.

"We know what is necessary and we know what works," says Söder, referring to the masks and distance.

"We would all like to do something other than talking about Corona week after week," he clarifies.

"Corona is

not an enemy, not a demon

, as some explain, but a virus".

It is not a war or a question of faith, but a medical matter.

“I think that we can still survive that,” explains Söder.

"Let's join in, let's get involved," he appeals at the end of his

government statement.

Update 1:48 p.m.:

Finally, Söder comes to the

test strategy

.

There are still free tests available.

If the state has

freedoms

restricts, then at least the tests are supposed to be free.

“School and daycare is more important than ever,” explains Söder.

If schools and daycare centers were to close, parents would not be able to go to work, which would be bad for the

economy

.

It is therefore an “absolute

top priority

” for the state government.

The start of school went well, Söder sums up, but makes it clear: “That will be a clear

endurance test

.

There will also be

distance

lessons. "

2.24 percent of the daycare centers are currently closed, the majority can be attributed to the situation in

Berchtesgadener Land

, explains Söder.

Söder announces immediate help for the cultural sector - Corona bonus for employees of the health authorities

Update 1:45 p.m .:

"New restrictions lead to new

concerns

in certain

industries,

" said Söder.

There should be immediate aid for this.

Culture in particular needs to be supported.

For young artists, for example, there is a scholarship program to help them start their careers.

The intensive care beds have been increased, health departments have been strengthened, explains the

CSU boss

with a view to the health system.

“The health authorities have been overburdened and overburdened for months,” which is why they want to be strengthened.

There is a

corona bonus

of 500 euros for employees.

Corona virus in Bavaria: Söder wants to avoid nationwide lockdown - praise for students

Update 1:35 p.m .:

"There was no

blueprint

for the first wave", there was also none for the second.

You have to constantly adapt.

At this point he thanks the people again.

“The vast majority” are taking part and getting involved, says Söder.

“We don't want a comprehensive

lockdown

like in the spring,” Söder clarifies.

“The mask is the mildest means and, from our point of view, proportionate.

More mask allows more normality ”.

He therefore cannot understand which

religious

wars are currently being waged on the subject.

He was reminded of the obligation to wear a belt or helmet, but hardly anyone would doubt it by now.

"Many students can be a role model for many others," says Söder, praising the students' handling of the masks.

With an incidence of over 50, Söder advocates compulsory masking in primary schools.

"Complete

school closings

in the long term are not good for anyone."

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Warning level "dark red" should come

“We have to protect the sensible from the unreasonable,” Söder clarifies.

That's why there are

rules

.

He is glad that the police consistently punish violations.

The mask is "a

means of protection and not of harassment

." Then he comes to the subject of parties.

For example, he understands weddings or birthday parties, but you still have to act on the subject of parties.

“The number of red areas is growing”.

The corona traffic light must be adjusted.

If the incidence is over 100, the traffic light should jump to dark red.

“We have to reduce contacts to break the wave”.

If the incidence is over 100, there should be further regulations, for example the curfew should be adjusted to 9 p.m.

Update 1:33 p.m

.: "We also need

criticism

", criticism makes you better.

But he is also particularly open to

suggestions

for

improvement

, as Söder further explains in his government statement.

"Yes - improvements, but no sham debates," Söder clarifies.

Söder explains corona strategy in parliament: "We are not an ego country"

Update 1:23 p.m

.: "Corona is dangerous.

Corona remains dangerous, ”said Söder.

You have to

warn of

the

danger

, but also give some hope.

There are two options: contain or infect.

The latter is less strenuous, without restrictions.

But: You would need around 130,000 infections per day to come

close to

herd immunity

.

But that would cost many lives, warns Söder.

"Never in history has this concept led to success," the CSU boss quotes the

WHO

.

This method would also cause economic damage.

"I am not prepared to risk the lives of some for the leisure activities of many," he clarifies.

He doesn't want to lock up the elderly either.

“We are not an

ego country

”, solidarity between the generations is needed.

"Contain it, we want to stick with it," said Söder.

Which strategy to use against #Corona is not only a medical but also an ethical question, says # Söder in his # government statement.


It is about respect of the generations.

"We are not ego land."

- BR24 (@ BR24) October 21, 2020

He understands that many people

struggle

with the

limitations

.

Going on vacation, partying, hugging friends, it all shapes you.

“The limit is where someone else's freedom is impaired,” says Söder, however, referring to the Basic Law.

"The interventions that we are currently having are difficult," they would burden many people, explains the CSU boss.

But they are proportionate and are also considered proportionate by the judiciary.

They are not forever, he explains.

Update 1:17 p.m

.: "It can go very quickly", nobody should be mistaken just because the hospitals are not full, explains Söder.

You have to take countermeasures beforehand.

Söder also makes clear statements about

hate messages

that reach him because of the

Corona policy

.

“The most perverted scum that has ever existed,” it says, for example.

Even a “poem” reached him.

“Oh, how nice to see Auschwitz and Dachau again,” begins the text, which Söder reads aloud.

But he makes it clear: "That doesn't scare me."

Söder comments on the corona virus: "Please do not take it lightly"

Update 1:12 p.m.:

In Bavaria, the numbers are increasing, explains Söder.

However, growth in Bavaria is below the national average.

In

terms of

the

seven-day incidence

, Bavaria is not at the top nationwide, but in sixth place, explains Söder.

"At the moment it is simply far too early in Germany and the numbers are far too high," said Söder.

"Winter is approaching (...)" Please don't take it lightly, "warns

Söder.

Söder gives government statement on coronavirus: "We are closer to a lockdown than many believe"

Update 1:08 p.m

.: Now Markus Söder begins.

“Bavaria, all of us, are facing exhausting weeks.

Again.

Unfortunately, ”said Söder.

"The

second wave

is here, it is rolling across Europe." The virus is out of control in many parts of Europe, around Germany there are only

risk areas

.

“There are

lockdowns

almost everywhere,

” the CSU boss explains.

"Even individual places are completely cordoned off again," he says with a view to Austria.

The RKI reported the second highest level today, according to Söder.

"We are

closer to

a

lockdown

than many believe, or at least a partial lockdown," the Prime Minister continued.

"Caution and caution" are now the most important.

He doesn't want to propagate an apocalyptic mood, but he wants to be realistic.

“We need seriousness and seriousness in the debate”.

You have to concentrate on the essentials: fighting the virus.

Update 1:01 p.m

.: State Parliament President

Ilse Aigner

opens the session.

"Corona is currently the dominant topic," she explains.

At the beginning there is a minute's silence for the teacher who was murdered last week in Paris.

Prime Minister Markus Söder is already giving his third

government declaration

on the coronavirus within a few months, Aigner explains.

She would like the politicians to take up the needs of the citizens and bring them into parliament.

Update from October 21, 07/12

: The corona numbers in Munich and all of Bavaria are increasing. * Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder has announced a government statement for Wednesday.

You can follow them here around 1 p.m. in the live stream and ticker.

Corona: Bavaria exceeds the limit, plus Berchtesgaden “lockdown” - Söder is now planning new regulation

Update from October 21, 10.12 a.m

.: Markus Söder (CSU) is considering a new

corona limit value with additional restrictions

.

In a CSU parliamentary group meeting, Bavaria's Prime Minister named a new limit of 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.

One must start at this value to consider further measures, to provide guidelines, said Söder, according to participants.

He initially left details open.

In the afternoon, the CSU boss wants to make a

government

statement

in the state parliament

.

According to the previous Bavarian corona traffic light, yellow applies from a value of 35 - then a stricter

mask requirement

, stricter

contact

restrictions

and a

curfew in the catering industry

automatically apply in the regions concerned

.

At a value of 50, the traffic light turns red, then regionally even stricter contact restrictions apply and restaurants have to close even earlier.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder calls for more national rules and calls for "exertion"

In the morning, Söder reaffirmed his call for more national rules in the fight against the corona crisis.

In the ZDF morning magazine, the CSU boss called for the Infection Protection Act to be adapted to the current pandemic.

“It is also important that we not only have different regional concepts, but also have more uniform lines.

We feel that this has to be readjusted continuously, ”said Söder.

He believes a "fundamental crackdown" that

could take place

in a national

pandemic

plan would also help on the ground.

In the ZDF morning magazine, Söder also called for a “national effort” in the fight against the crisis.

In coping with the pandemic, Germany currently has a "political-mental" problem rather than a logistical one, said Söder.

"For months the topic has been talked down, downplayed, it has been glossed over," said Söder.

But it is important to understand the pandemic as a challenge again.

"We now need a joint act - just like with the first wave."

Corona: Bavaria exceeds the limit, plus Berchtesgaden lockdown - Will Söder announce new cuts?

Update from October 21, 9:19 a.m.:

The corona numbers continue to rise - also in

Bavaria.

The Berchtesgadener Land district is even the

record hotspot

in Germany.

Today Prime Minister Markus Söder wants to make a

government declaration in the state parliament

.

Are new

cuts

threatening

the Free State?

The focus is on the further strategy in the

fight against the virus

, especially in hotspots, where warning values ​​are sometimes very significantly exceeded.

According to reports, Söder also wants to appeal to the citizens' responsibility and common sense to go along with them, to be very careful and to strictly adhere to the applicable measures.

Bavaria is now overall above the nationwide agreed

limit

of 50. The State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) reported exactly 51.72 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days on Tuesday.

Corona virus in Bavaria: 62 districts and cities in the Free State are above the early warning value

62 districts and urban districts

in Bavaria recently exceeded the mark of 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days, 36 of which are even above the critical 50 mark.

If the value of 35 is exceeded, a stricter

mask requirement

also

applies
