There is no official information yet. However, a strategy paper from the Federal Ministry of the Interior is available.

Corona rules: mountain hikers whistle - that's the summit
Update of March 26, 2020, 9.42 a.m .: In order to slow down the rapid spread of the coronavirus Sars-Cov-2 , strict corona rules apply throughout Germany. In Bavaria the rules are even stricter, at least as far as the ban on contact is concerned. The Bavarian ban on contact particularly affects single people . Even neighbors are not allowed to visit each other in an apartment or walk together on the street. The Munich police tweeted this on request, as reported by tz.de *.
The southernmost municipality in Germany, the market municipality of Oberstdorf im Allgäu (Bavaria), reports a special violation of the Corona rules. Countless hikers and ski tourers were on the way, according to Merkur.de *. The Bergwacht Sonthofen has absolutely no understanding of the selfish behavior of the day trippers , as can be read in a statement on Instagram. The mountain hikers risked leisure accidents and were then in the hospital for weeks. Helicopter operations are already at risk because quarantine measures also apply to the mining team. The Instagram post also says: "By the way: mountain companionship does not mean that you currently have to sit tightly in groups at the summit cross, even if you are individually on tour."
