Markus Söder called for a nationwide lockdown at a press conference with Jens Spahn - before Christmas.

  • The Corona * numbers continue to rise.

  • At an appointment with Jens Spahn, he now demanded a Germany-wide lockdown before Christmas (see update from December 11, 11:58 a.m.)

  • Here we offer you the current case numbers in the Free State in a map *.

Update from December 11th, 6:23 p.m

.: In the fight against the corona pandemic, the state government has now

completely banned

alcohol consumption in public

.

This is based on a

change in the Corona regulation

.

This took effect on Friday.

“The consumption of alcohol in public spaces is prohibited,” the rules now say.

In the original version, alcohol consumption was forbidden in particular “on the public traffic areas of the inner cities” - but the “specifically affected locations” had to be determined by the responsible district administrative authorities.

This no longer

applies

-

the ban on alcohol in public now automatically applies everywhere.



"Experience to date has shown that a ban on consumption that is limited to certain, locally defined areas and places leads to evasive behavior and is therefore not sufficient to effectively contain the risk of infection," says the reason for the change.

In the current infection situation, a more extensive and directly applicable ban on alcohol consumption in public spaces is necessary in order to curb the spread of the virus.

Corona in Bavaria: Government is tightening exit restrictions and bans

In addition, the Bavarian state government has tightened the regulations on nationwide exit restrictions and night curfews in

hotspots

(incidence over 200).

Initially it was the case that the “own” apartment could only be left if there were specific valid reasons.

Now the word “own” has been deleted at the crucial points.



This makes it clear that it is "a ban on staying in public space and that it is not mandatory to stay in your own apartment, but can also be in another apartment," says the reason for the change.

Specifically, according to the State Chancellery, for example, with so-called curfews in hotspots at night, you can stay overnight at another household - you can still meet a household outside of your own.

But you can no longer visit someone just in time before 9 p.m. and then go home or drive from there at night.

: "We have to act and as soon as possible," said the CSU boss on Friday at an appointment with the Minister of Health Jens Spahn in the future Corona vaccination center in Nuremberg.

The federal and state governments

would now have to consider bringing the holidays forward and also closing shops earlier.

“One day less does not worsen the quality of life, but it can help.” This also includes thinking again about what contacts are still possible on Christmas days.

On Sunday, the country bosses want to discuss stricter corona rules with Chancellor Angela Merkel again.

Several countries have already announced stricter measures, most recently Baden-Württemberg a lockdown and curfews.

Some of them quarrel and doubt, but would still join in and wear a mask, for example.

"But too many act according to the principle: What is not expressly forbidden is allowed." But: "You don't have to exhaust everything," says Spahn.

Obviously, nationwide measures are therefore needed - "better sooner than later." Christmas should not be a festival of the virus.

"Let's just see it as our

patriotic duty,

" said Spahn.

One should take care of each other and be careful not to overload the health system.

We

must be more important than

me.
