Update 9.03 a.m .: Before the new federal-state consultations, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) warned against hasty easing of the anti-corona measures.

"I am not angry with any colleague or angry with any other country if someone is more urgent or sees it differently." But he emphasized: "I cannot make Bavaria's situation dependent on whether a government in another country does that looks very different. "

It is now like in the 80th minute of a football game: “We have achieved most of it, but some already want to leave the field and say the game has been won. Unfortunately, that's not the case. "

Oktoberfest 2021 already at risk? An expert from Munich makes you prick up your ears with a corona forecast

Origination of April 30th:

Munich - Doctors expect the coronavirus infections to subside slightly in summer. The stronger sun exposure can suppress the virus somewhat, said Clemens Wendtner , chief physician of the clinic for infectious diseases in the Munich clinic Schwabing . “You shouldn't be under the illusion that the higher temperatures will make the virus go away . The effect in summer arises, among other things, from the fact that UV radiation is stronger - and viruses can be killed by UV light. ”

The virus will not disappear completely. Relaxation of the initial restrictions could also lead to an increase in the number of infections. Therefore, it is necessary to remain vigilant and careful. "We will have to watch the infection very closely."

Corona Munich: can Oktoberfest 2021 take place? Doctor: "Are question marks behind it"

Depending on the season, Wendtner expects another wave around October. "You have to assume that as long as we don't have a vaccination , we can expect the virus to flare up." There may then no longer be hotspots as is currently the case , but the virus will spread across the board. 

"We will continue to carry Covid-19 into the year 2021." Whether all the events canceled for this year or postponed to the next year from the Olympic Games to the Oktoberfest can then take place is open. "There are question marks behind it."
