In order to curb the spread of the coronavirus, initial restrictions apply to the 13 million inhabitants in Bavaria since March 21.

Update, 9.30 p.m .: Given the expected escalation of the corona crisis , the Bavarian government is desperately looking for doctors . Now foreign physicians without a German license to work should be able to work temporarily in Bavaria. This emerges from an appeal published on Friday (March 27) by the Ministry of Health and the State Medical Association. "It is currently impossible to predict how the infection situation will develop in Bavaria ," said Minister Melanie Huml (CSU). That is why the state government is asking for support from all doctors who are not currently working in their profession, as well as medical students. We are also looking for "Doctors with foreign diplomas whose recognition process has not yet been completed in Germany".

The State Medical Association has now set up its own registration portal for the volunteers on the Internet. Doctors who are currently doing non-medical work should therefore be released for the duration of their Corona use - with replacement or continued payment of wages. There is also the option for doctor's surgeries, medical care centers, health offices and operators of citizen phones to report if support is still needed. The helpers deployed are paid.

The appeals are caused by fears that the Bavarian healthcare system will no longer be able to treat corona patients who are seriously ill.

The 38-year-old driver also received a drunk driving report and had to hand in his driver's license.

There was also an infringement in Regensburg . The operator of a gym got an ad there because the studio was open despite the exit restriction. According to the police, he had darkened the windows so that the day-to-day operation was not visible from the outside.

The rush was enormous , a spokeswoman said. As the BR reports, so many people came to Neumarkt that the police had to regulate the traffic. Far before 10 a.m., all access roads to the company were blocked with traffic jams , the BR continued.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: exit restrictions remain in force

Update from 2:33 p.m .: The exit restrictions applicable in Bavaria due to the Corona crisis remain in effect: The President of the Bavarian Constitutional Court refused to put it out of action by means of an interim order, as the court announced on Friday. The Constitutional Court, however, now has to deal with this in a normal main trial. Apart from that, decisions of the Bavarian Administrative Court regarding the exit restrictions are still pending.

A plaintiff had argued at the Constitutional Court that the exit restrictions regulation disproportionately affects citizens' freedoms . He had therefore raised a popular lawsuit and wants the regulation to be declared unconstitutional and void. He also called for their immediate enforcement by way of an interim order.

The President of the Constitutional Court, Peter Küspert, who makes his own decision in special urgent cases, now rejected the latter. In the event of a rough examination, no obvious prospects of success, but also no obvious hopelessness of the main application in the popular lawsuit, can be assumed, the court said. The decision to issue an interim order must therefore be made on the basis of an impact assessment. And then Küspert stated: "In view of the paramount importance of the life and health of those who may be at risk, the reasons for overriding the contested regulation outweigh."

Update from 1:10 p.m .: The corona virus continues to occupy the Free State. The Integrated Control Center (ILS) Bamberg-Forchheim is now going public with a problem. Recently, callers who make an emergency call have increasingly given no information about suspected cases or corona symptoms - probably because they fear that they will be worse off with the emergency services.
