warned on Friday that the situation could get out of control in view of the increasing occupancy of intensive care beds.

With a view to the

art industry

, which was

badly hit

by the

partial lockdown

, he said: “Especially when we can no longer go to a concert, theater or exhibition because of Corona, then we have to get creative ourselves and think about how

we should can support cultural workers in other ways. "


In the meantime, the

Karlsruhe Administrative

Court has granted

a request from

lateral thinking demonstrators

against the requirements of the city of Karlsruhe.

The participants in the demonstration on Saturday do not have to wear

masks

because, in the view of the

court,

the city's command

would have interfered too much with the freedom of assembly.

In a

demonstration

of only 500 demonstrators, with a more stationary character, it is possible to comply with the distance rule, according to the court.

The city can, however, impose further requirements on site at short notice.

Corona lockdown in November: The Federal Government is urgently calling for consideration again

Update from October 30th, 5:28 p.m.:

Shortly before the new corona restrictions came into force, the federal government once again pointed out that both the number of new infections and the number of occupied beds in hospitals rose significantly.

"The situation is very serious and dramatic," said

Vice Government Spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer

on Friday.

It now depends on everyone's consideration.

Chancellery chief Helge Braun gave hope for December.

The goal of the newly introduced measures is a December in which Christmas business and visits to friends and relatives are possible again.

The

constitutional lawyer Ulrich Battis

praised the federal-

state

resolutions on Wednesday, also in comparison to earlier decisions, as a “carefully justified and balanced overall concept”.

Nevertheless, he expects successful lawsuits against parts of the concept.

November lockdown: FDP and CSU are in a clinch in Bavaria

Update from October 30th, 4:00 p.m.:

The

implementation of the new Corona rules in Germany is

causing delicate follow-up debates -

a heated dispute has broken out

over the question of how

contact restrictions in private apartments

should be

controlled

.

Among other things, there are allegations at Markus Söder's address that Bavaria promotes “denunciation”.

In particular, the

FDP and CSU

are in a clinch.

The Bavarian State Chancellery felt compelled to clarify.

In a

government

statement

on Friday

,

Söder

defended

Bavaria's corona measures.

With a view to the debate about the constitutionally guaranteed inviolability of the apartment and rule violations within one's own four walls, he emphasized: "I can expressly say that there is no call to give advice."

Merkel announces new corona measures: Kubicki believes in a judicial stop

Update from October 30th, 7.18 a.m.:

Bundestag

Vice

President Wolfgang Kubicki (FDP) does not assume that the new Corona measures will stand up to judicial review.

"The resolutions remain of such a remarkable

contradiction

that it only appears questionable when the first court will overturn them and not whether," wrote Kubicki in a guest article for the

Passauer Neue Presse

.

“Why do nail salons have to close, but not hairdressers?

Why are restaurants also closed where you are still a long way from the self-defined thresholds?

All of this can no longer be explained, ”he criticizes.

The FDP politician sees

“serious birth defects”

in the resolutions

.

A parliamentary debate was once again not possible, only subsequent knowledge.

The Chancellor had "pushed through her ideas on how to effectively combat the Corona policy again without being responsible at all," he said.

Corona summit: Merkel announces partial lockdown - now the list of companies that have to close has been added

Update from October 29th, 9:00 p.m.: The

federal and state governments decided on Wednesday that many companies in Germany have to close in November.

A number of trades were listed in the corresponding resolution, including cinemas, theaters, opera and concert halls.

However, some uncertainties were left behind.

Museums

, for example, were not included

in the list.

The culture ministers of the federal states have now specified the resolution.

In a conference on Thursday it was agreed, according to dpa information, that museums must also close.

It was also stipulated that trial operations, for example in theaters, may be continued.

The aim is to enable the houses to reopen in December.

Corona in Germany: Merkel defends lockdown in the Bundestag

Update from October 29, 10:46 a.m.:

Chancellor Angela Merkel

has in the Bundestag

issued a government statement in which it once again explained the lockdown measures decided on Wednesday.

During a discussion, the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate,

Malu Dreyer

(SPD), had a say, who made the prime ministers' point of view clear.

Due to the

exponential growth,

we must now act together.

"Fast, unbureaucratic measures" are needed.

Dreyer

also called the offer of the federal government

to take over

a large part of the

turnover

for companies that are affected by the closings as a “more than good offer”.

Update from October 29th, 8:18 am:

Federal Health

Minister

Jens Spahn

defended the tough measures against the pandemic agreed by the federal and state governments by the end of November.

It was a difficult time for those affected, but contacts absolutely had to be reduced, he said on Thursday morning in a telephone interview on WDR.

The number of

infections

rose rapidly again, especially among the elderly.

"I don't want to wait until the intensive care units are overcrowded," he said.

"If they're overcrowded, it's too late."

His own illness gave him a different perspective on the

pandemic

.

The experience made him "humble," said Spahn.

He is fine himself, he only has mild cold symptoms.

Chancellery chief Helge Braun (CDU) also

defended

the drastic

corona measures

in November.

"We now have to go ahead as politicians with a clear signal, because acting early ultimately enables us to act more leniently," Braun said on Thursday on Deutschlandfunk.



Braun stood behind the controversial

closure of restaurants

*.

"We have to prioritize, of course," he said.

Schools, education and most of the craft, middle class and business sectors are to be fully maintained.

“But somewhere we have to reduce the number of contacts.” That is most proportionate to leisure activities.

The companies would receive 75 percent of the turnover of last November from the state.

That is very, very expensive, but certainly appropriate to help those affected through the tough month.

Corona lockdown in Germany: FDP does not want to support the new measures without discussion

Update from October 29, 7.51 a.m.:

The FDP does

not want to support

the new

anti-corona measures

in Germany without further discussion.

The prime ministers had acted in part uncoordinated, said their parliamentary manager in the Bundestag,

Marco Buschmann

, on Thursday in the ARD morning magazine "We will have to rework that now." He turned against "leaning the whole country together".

"Very tough talks" had already taken place in the evening after the resolutions of the federal and state governments and during the night.

Now the question is "how these things are implemented in state law".

Buschmann announced that the FDP was trying to "involve parliaments more where we co-govern".

These are North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein and Rhineland-Palatinate.

bring

advertises

in a switch of the Prime Minister to call for the

national health

emergency.

This makes it easier for the federal states to implement uniform rules.

Even

Bodo Ramelow

Dispute over corona lockdown: preliminary positions of the prime ministers very different

Update from October 28, 10:56 a.m.:

The discussions about a possible

corona lockdown

between the country bosses and Angela Merkel are likely to become heated again.

The Prime Ministers have been discussing a uniform line since 10.30 a.m.

Because that is precisely

what

many are demanding in order to

maintain high

acceptance of

the measures.

But the positions are different: "We will decide on some things for Germany that hurts and is not beautiful," said the Hessian Prime Minister

Volker Bouffier (CDU) of

Merkel's plan for the corona lockdown: Virologist Kekulé does not think that catering closings make sense

Update from October 28, 10:23 a.m.:

The federal resolution, which became known before the

federal-state meeting

, provides for the

closure of

restaurants

and similar facilities.

Virologist

Alexander Kekulé,

however, thinks that closing restaurants does not make sense, as he

said

on

Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk

on Wednesday

.

It is more important to crack down on violations of the existing rules.

SPD health expert Karl Lauterbach

expressed himself differently

on Twitter: He believes that the measures

could stop

an exponential increase in

new corona infections

, unless gastronomy is removed from the concept.

Lauterbach argues that by

sitting

opposite without a mask,

aerosol transmission is

"hardly avoidable".

(2) In gastronomy, most contacts take place outside the family.

All age groups use gastronomy.

In a conversation without a mask, sitting opposite, aerosol transmission in the interior is hardly avoidable.

According to the draft resolution that has been submitted to the

German Press Agency

these should be

equivalent to a lockdown.

parliaments

when it comes to adopting measures against the

corona

virus.

Ramelow rejects

a procedure in the Prime Minister's Conference, "in which proposals for resolutions introduced at extremely short notice"

are to be negotiated and resolved

with particularly intrusive measures such as curfews, contact bans and the imposition of a

lockdown
