Corona in Bavaria: Söder makes it pretty clear what he expects from Merkel
Update from October 27, 2:34 p.m.:
In view of the drastically increased corona numbers,
Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder
calls for
rapid and consistent
countermeasures from the federal and state governments
.
With a view to the Prime Minister's Conference on Wednesday (October 28), Söder said: “We have to prove ourselves tomorrow.” This is not the last chance, but another very crucial stage.
The CSU boss emphasized: "Better to be right and right than late and half-hearted." There are no longer many options for uniform national control.
And it is not enough to decide something that will be outdated in two weeks, warned Söder.
When
asked about the
"Lockdown light"
allegedly favored by Chancellor Merkel
, he said that it would be useless to comment on topics that are currently haunted by the media.
But he made it clear: “The Chancellor is a
scientist.
“So far everything has been correct, what she calculated.
"We'll wait and see what comes out tomorrow," says Söder.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Free State presents vaccination strategy - "It's about a voluntary vaccination"
Health Minister
Melanie Huml
was also present at the press conference after the cabinet meeting and presented a
corona vaccination concept
.
"There will be a certain prioritization of first vaccinating those who are particularly at risk." First, it should be the turn of the elderly or chronically ill as well as residents of old people's homes, nursing homes and homes for the disabled.
Medical and nursing staff, professional groups from the critical infrastructure such as police officers, firefighters and teachers as well as people with a high risk of infection, for example due to cramped living conditions, should be given priority vaccination.
"To be very clear: It's about a
voluntary vaccination,
" emphasized Huml.
The state government has also promised to keep schools and daycare centers open for as long as possible, even with rising corona numbers.
These should remain open, "as long as there is some way," emphasized CSU boss Söder.
Should restrictions become necessary, schools in particular should be the last to close and be the first to open again after a possible lockdown, he emphasized.
In addition, support for the cultural sector has been announced.
The Free State is making 370 million euros available for this.
Söder comments on Merkel's "Lockdown light": The press conference for reading
Update from 2:12 p.m.:
Supposedly, Chancellor Angela Merkel favors a
"lockdown light"
.
A journalist now wants to know what Markus Söder thinks of it.
There is no point in talking now about what is haunted by the media.
There would be many more meetings tomorrow.
But he makes it clear: “The Chancellor is a
scientist.
“So far everything has been correct, what she calculated.
"We'll wait and see what comes out tomorrow," says Söder.
Many dark red circles in Bavaria are
near the border
- does the CSU boss see a connection to the neighboring countries?
An outbreak cannot be linked to a single thing, he says.
One could certainly argue about where the focus was.
“But I don't think that will help us much,” he says.
Pointing blame
wouldn't do anything.
“Our goal is to keep the borders open.” It is important that everyone involved makes an effort, “but that is also my impression.” However, it could happen that at some point one would have to think about border controls.
But they are not that far yet.
Coronavirus in Bavaria: "Lockdown light"?
Söder calls for national decisions
Update from 1:48 p.m
.: Söder is asked by a journalist for his assessment of the gastronomy, as this area is to be closed in the “lockdown light” plan, which Chancellor Merkel allegedly favors.
He explains that there is hardly an area where contacts are as extensive as in the catering trade.
He only ever hears where the virus would not spread, for example in restaurants.
If that were the case, the numbers would not be what they are, Söder concludes.
On the
"Lockdown Light" he will
speak before the
Prime Minister's Conference
, which will take place tomorrow, but not more specifically.
Update from 1.40 p.m.:
When asked about the lockdowns,
Söder
explains
that we are getting closer to having to make national decisions.
Uniform decisions are better and more understandable for people.
Nevertheless, regional lockdowns such as in
Berchtesgaden and Rottal-Inn are
correct, because: “We just don't let it go.” He doesn't believe in a one-week lockdown, as has been suggested in some cases.
"It's like taking antibiotics for a day," said the CSU boss.
Corona virus in Bavaria - At Söder press conference: Minister of Education announces corona bonus for school principals

After the Minister of Health,
Minister of Education Michael Piazolo
speaks
.

"corona bonus" for school principals
and also for some of the teachers (around 14,000 people).
The school principals have been confronted with challenges again and again in the past few months, and it will be the same in the coming months.
He therefore sees the Corona premium as a
"sign of appreciation"
.
“I think this
school year will
not necessarily be easier than the last,” said Piazolo.
The minister of education clarifies that “maximum flexibility” is required.
They want to give all students fair conditions, also with a view to the exams.
He asks for your understanding that this cannot be said for exams that are still a few months in the future ..
Coronavirus in Bavaria: Huml clarifies: "It's about a voluntary vaccination"
Update from 1:19 p.m
.: Then Huml comes to the
vaccination strategy
.
She emphasizes: “It's about a
voluntary vaccination!
“There should be a prioritization in the vaccination strategy.
People who are at increased risk due to their occupation (e.g. caregivers) or who are at risk due to their age should be vaccinated first.
"It only works together," concludes Huml with a view to the corona measures.
Regarding the # Corona # vaccination, Melanie #Huml expressly clarifies: "It's about a voluntary # vaccination, to be very clear."

Minister of Health Melanie Huml
speaks
.
You can see that the number of occupied intensive care beds in hospitals has risen in recent weeks.
"It is not easy for any local district administrator to decide on these measures," she says, referring to Rottal-Inn.
However, it is necessary.
“It is important to take these measures before it continues to grow in the retirement homes.
Before the numbers spread further, ”said the CSU politician.
Corona in Bavaria: According to Söder, November will be "a very decisive month"
Update from 1:14 p.m .:
He understands that the effects are not easy, but "we only go after what works," says Söder. "Now let's wait and see what we
decide
tomorrow in
Berlin
," says Söder with a view to the Prime Minister's Conference on Wednesday.
"We have to prove ourselves tomorrow".
The
November
"will be a very important month.
In November it will be decided how we will get through the whole winter.
At least until
Christmas
”, Söder concludes.
Update from 1:08 p.m.:
Söder explains that the Free State is
providing
100 million euros for the
vaccination strategy
.
One or two vaccines might even be approved this year, says Söder.
However, we have to wait and see whether that works.
The Free State has launched a program of
370 million euros for culture
, because Söder explains: "Restrictions without help is not a concept".
There should be scholarships for young artists, and institutions and the cinema should also be supported.
“That is a prospect,” says the CSU.
But it will still need additional support for the economy.
Press conference with Markus Söder: Berchtesgaden lockdown is probably having an effect
Update from 1:03 p.m
.: The numbers in Berchtesgadener Land are starting to stabilize, Söder draws a positive balance on the regional
lockdown
.
It is better to react quickly and consistently than to react with delay, he concludes from the figures.
Some
measures
work better if you take them immediately and do not react with delay.
One now has to find a course that is accepted by society at large.
“No placebo measures, the right dose and better consistently and faster,” summarizes the CSU boss.
“Reducing contacts” is particularly important.
“There's no point in ranting, we have to do what is necessary.
We don't want a complete second lockdown like we did in the spring, ”said Söder.
If the
worst comes to the worst, daycare centers and schools
should be the last to be closed and the first to be reopened, explains Bavaria's Prime Minister.
He demands “maximum flexibility” from schools.
“This applies to digital lessons and the entire lesson design.” Children, young people and parents must “be able to rely on us,” says Söder.
Update from 1 p.m
.: Markus Söder expects
the next jumps
with a view to the
corona numbers
.
It is only a matter of time before the hospitals are overloaded.
This does not only mean the beds, but also the nursing staff.
This is currently not the case due to the time delay.
“We were right with the assessments,” Söder summarizes.
Everyone should be aware that the greatest damage to the economy is a delayed situation.
Now it depends on the appropriate timing, "the feeling that we will soon be faced with difficult decisions is growing - nationally."
Update from October 27, 12.29 p.m.:
The Bavarian cabinet has been advising on the Corona crisis since 10 a.m.
At 1 p.m. there will be a press conference with Prime Minister Markus Söder.

Update from October 27, 10:56 a.m
.: The number of new corona infections continues to rise in Augsburg * - despite stricter
protective measures
.
As Bavaria's third largest city reported on Tuesday, the value per 100,000 inhabitants
climbed
to just under
218
in seven days
; the day before it was around 205. This threatens a new
lockdown
in the Swabian city.
The city administration had previously announced that it would monitor the development until midweek.
Then, in coordination with the district government and the state government in
Munich
, possible further measures should be decided.
Markus Söder is considered the political winner of the Corona crisis.
But the opposition attests to massive omissions.
Green parliamentary group leader Katharina Schulze even sees democracy in Bavaria in danger.
Rosenheim tears the 200 mark: Is there a threat of corona lockdown as in the Rottal-Inn district?
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), the
city of
Rosenheim
has now broken the 200 mark.
According to the RKI, the number of new infections on Tuesday was
217.1
.
"The city top is in constant contact with the health authorities," said a spokesman for the city on request.
The Bavaria-wide
corona measures
for cities and districts in which the
corona traffic light has
jumped to dark red
currently apply in Rosenheim
.
That is the case with more than 100 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days.
"The next step would indeed be
lockdown measures such as in Rottal-Inn or in Berchtesgadener Land,
" said the spokesman.
“But we don't have anything in our current planning yet.” However, he cannot rule out that something will change in the coming days or even during the course of the day.
There are no specific sources of infection in the city.
"It's the classic:
diffuse infection process."

Is there a threat of a “lockdown light”?
Meanwhile, the first
resolutions
are said to have
leaked
from Berlin
, which could probably be decided at the Prime Minister's Conference on Wednesday (October 28).
Chancellor Angela Merkel would
see
media reports after a
"lockdown light"
as the only way to stop the current course.
The measure would then provide for the
closure of restaurants and hotels
, as well as a
drastic contact restriction
.
Does Söder follow this assessment today?
The CSU boss may already reveal something at the press conference.
Corona traffic light at 28 of 96 circles in Bavaria on dark red: Rottal-Inn, Augsburg and Schweinfurt with high numbers
On Monday (October 26th) the Bavarian corona traffic light * showed
dark red

After Berchtesgaden, Rottal-Inn is the second district in the Free State in which public life is again drastically restricted.
In other federal states there are no comparable
measures
to date
.
Entrepreneurs from the Berchtesgadener Land have now
filed
a
lawsuit against the District Office and the Free State of Bavaria
.
In the urgent application to the administrative court in Munich, which the “Passauer Neue Presse” (Tuesday) received, it is argued, among other things, that the measures are not sufficiently justified.
The so-called lockdown is disproportionate.
Söder makes the announcement come true: New Corona rules in Bavaria since Friday (October 23)
Corona lockdown in Berchtesgadener Land: Entrepreneurs complain - "Example made"
According to the media report,
lawyer Frank Starke from
Bad Reichenhall
criticizes the fact that all hotels and restaurants had to close despite their hygiene concepts.
There is no reason to prohibit operation outside.
Bavaria could not
"hold the entire industry in kin"
.
Mild measures to reduce the rising Corona * numbers have not been examined.
Instead, an “example was made”.
Mike Rupin, the chairman of the Reichenhaller Unternehmerforum, initiated the lawsuit according to "PNP".
Behind it are more than 150 entrepreneurs from the district and associations.
Since a person affected has to sue, the
urgent application runs
under the name of Sylvia and Dirk Finsel.
You run a guest house in Bad Reichenhall.
The district administrator of the
Rottal-Inn district
, Michael Fahmüller, sees the proximity to Austria as one of the reasons for the enormously increased corona numbers.
* “You have to say that openly,” he said - even if this connection could not be proven.
In the neighboring country, the measures were not as strict as in Bavaria for a long time.
On Tuesday there is a meeting between Bavaria's State Chancellor
Florian Herrmann
(CSU) and Austria's European Minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP) - the topic could be discussed there.
