Update from September 4th, 6.43 a.m.:

Are

Christmas markets

possible

this year

?

Bavaria's Prime Minister

Markus Söder is

raising hopes that the markets will take place again this year if the appropriate precautions are taken.

"At the Christmas markets we still have time that we can use for good

planning

," said the

CSU boss to

the newspapers of the

Funke media group

(Friday edition).

"For example, we can

organize

uniform

walking routes

with entrances and exits." However, he restricted that "some

Feuerzangenbowlestand

, which is more reminiscent of après-ski events in

Ischgl

", should be avoided this year.

Bavaria's Prime Minister asked for understanding.

"The

probability

that Corona will keep us busy forever is not that high.

Why shouldn't it be possible to maintain a little more discipline for a year? ”The federal and state governments recently agreed to ban major events at which 

contact tracing

and compliance with

hygiene rules are

not possible until at least the end of December extend.

Chancellor Angela Merkel

had spoken during the consultations with the Prime Ministers of the federal states in favor of deciding on the approval of Christmas markets only later.

Corona in Bavaria: School start in the Free State - These rules apply to students with a cold

Update from September 3, 2020, 7:54 p.m.:

 Slight runny nose yes, severe cough no: The Bavarian

Ministry of Culture

has published

rules for school attendance by

students with a cold.

According to this, children and adolescents with mild symptoms such as

runny nose

and occasional

cough are

only allowed to go to school if they

have

not

developed

a fever within 24 hours

.

That is how long they have to stay at home or they will be sent home.

There is an

exception

for

primary school students

, as can be seen from the revised general hygiene plan of the ministry.

Sick children with a fever, cough, sore throat or ear, severe stomach pain, vomiting or diarrhea must definitely stay at home.   

Four young people from Geretsried have shown exemplary behavior.

When a Bengal was attacked by another man, the friends intervened courageously. *

Update from September 3, 2020, 5:24 p.m.:

The

city ​​of Landshut

has

exceeded

the early warning

value

for

new corona infections

and with it most of the new cases in

Bavaria

.

According to the State Office for Health and Food Safety, the seven-day incidence in the independent city was 41.43 on Thursday.

This means that in the past seven days per 100,000 inhabitants, more than 41 people were newly

infected

with the

corona

virus.

In addition to

Landshut in Lower Bavaria

, the cities of Memmingen and Ingolstadt also just exceeded the limit on Thursday.

So far, 58,241 people have been infected with the corona virus in Bavaria.

According to the state office, that is 325 infections more than the day before.

51,520 people are already considered recovered.

So far, 2,639 people have died in Bavaria as a result of an infection.

Several places in Bavaria over critical mark - Söder makes the seriousness of the situation clear

Update from September 3, 1:34 p.m.:

Markus Söder continues to drive a cautious course in the Free State.

“We don't want a second

lockdown,

” the prime minister made

clear

at the

summer

retreat.

Economic development is important.

The same applies to family, school and daycare.

The CSU boss calls for

restraint in

all further debates

.

“We don't want a second lockdown.

Therefore give priority to economic development.

Right of way for families, schools and day-care centers.

But restraint in all further debates ”, promises @Markus_Soeder.

School trip to Bavaria: 20 students from Düsseldorf infected with the corona virus

Update from September 3, 7.49 a.m

.: Dusseldorf students tested positive for the

corona virus

after a class trip in Bavaria.

In North Rhine-Westphalia, school trips within Germany are permitted under certain conditions.

In Bavaria, all class trips and student exchanges are prohibited until the end of January 2021.

Trips that have already been booked would have to be canceled, according to the Ministry of Culture.

The students would have to catch up on their knowledge deficit through the Corona compulsory break.

Corona virus in Bavaria: That's how bizarre the corona rules are for Bavarian schools

Update from September 3, 6:26 a.m

.: In Bavaria, the summer holidays will soon be over.

Before the next school year starts, the Ministry of Culture has submitted a hygiene plan.

Physical education and music lessons are to take place again in the coming school year.

However, a few corona rules are a bit bizarre.

The police also use corona lists for minor offenses

Update from September 2, 8:08 p.m.:

Anyone

visiting a café or restaurant

in times of

Corona

must currently

leave

their

personal data

.

These are

restaurants

committed.

In this way, health authorities should be able to

find other potentially infected people

in the event of a

Covid 19 disease

.

The

police in Bavaria also use this data from guest lists from the catering trade

in individual cases to pursue rather minor offenses.

This emerges from a response from the Interior Ministry to a request from the FDP parliamentary group in the state parliament.

Accordingly, in 24 cases, the police resorted to the guest lists that were filled out by visitors to the catering trade.

The investigation dealt three times with fraud, once each with theft and one insult.

However, many queries


continue to

relate to

more serious criminal prosecution cases, such as murder and manslaughter, dangerous bodily harm or threat.

The lists were used three times to search for missing persons.

The actions of the police caused criticism.

In the corona pandemic, many people use urban parks.

Pizza boxes are clogging the trash cans more and more often.

Is there a deposit for pizza boxes now?

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Bavarian football club takes legal action

Update on 2 September, 19.50 pm:

How is despite

coronavirus

with the

amateur football

in

Bavaria

next?

This question is currently occupying the Bavarian Football Association (see update from 11.10 a.m.).

In an online survey that will be released by Monday (10:00 a.m.) among the around 4,500 member clubs, the BFV now wants to find out how to proceed with the competition game operations, which are prohibited against the background of the corona pandemic.

It is also a question of whether the BFV should become legally active for its more than 1.6 million members.

A Bavarian club has already become legally active:

1. FC Schweinfurt

.

"The fact that the BFV is starting a survey and involving the clubs is very commendable and we will also provide our support here, but it is not certain when a result can be expected", Managing Director Markus Wolf justified his urgent application to the Bavarian Administrative Court in Munich.

Schweinfurt expects an answer within the next two weeks.

Corona in Bavaria: The next region tears a critical mark - the police are now supporting - "Almost all of them are returnees"

Update from September 2, 4 p.m.:

The next Bavarian region

exceeded

the

Corona early warning

value

on Wednesday

.

After Memmingen im Allgäu (see update below) the

district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen has

now exceeded

the value.

The number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants rose to 36.2 within seven days.

The

early warning value

is 35.

In the case of the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district, there is a parallel to

Memmingen

: In the Central Franconian district, too, the

new infections are

"mostly returning travelers," said a spokeswoman for the district office in Weißenburg.

Those affected and their contact persons are in

quarantine

at home

.

The decision was made to “not take any further measures for the time being,” said the spokeswoman.

However, the police will randomly help with the quarantine controls.

Corona in Bavaria: Next city breaks critical mark and tightened rules - "Almost everyone is returnee"

Update from September 2, 2:22 p.m

.: The city of

Memmingen in the Allgäu is

tightening the

quarantine rules

for

travelers returning

from

risk areas

.

The reason is that the

corona early warning value has been

exceeded

.

According to a spokeswoman on Wednesday, there were 38.76 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the city in the past seven days.

"Almost all of them are

returnees

from risk areas," said the city spokeswoman.

The early warning value is 35.

The rules would therefore now be tightened: All travelers returning from risk areas must first

go to

quarantine

at home

and be tested again for Corona after several days - regardless of whether they had already undergone a test abroad or on their return.

This regulation will probably remain in force even if the number of

infections

drops again, said the city spokeswoman.

Corona in Bavaria: amateur footballers threaten Söder with action

Update from September 2, 11.10 a.m.:

The Bavarian Football Association (BFV) asks its member clubs to use the virtual urn.

As the

BFV

explained in a press release, it had been decided to “ask all around 4500 member clubs how to deal with the competition game operations that are still prohibited by the state”.

“We have

always supported

the course of the

Bavarian state government

in the past and found it to be very responsible.

We accepted that - unlike our friends in the neighboring regional associations - we were not

allowed

to start any

competitive games

until the beginning of September

.

We were

satisfied

with

training games

without spectators, we understood that the spectator issue had to be discussed carefully, we

developed

hygiene

concepts

with the greatest care

and presented them to the state government, ”it says.

It was therefore believed that the prerequisites had been created in

order to be able to resume

play

on September 19.

"Unfortunately without success," as the BFV announced.

Corona in Bavaria: Bavarian Football Association desperate: "existential consequences"

For most of them, it is incomprehensible that games cannot be resumed, “although the

state government

has long since allowed

concerts or church services to be held

in the open air, and even up to 400 spectators are allowed.

Only a few kilometers further in our

neighboring

federal

states

, the games have long been played in front of a limited number of spectators.

And in every swimming pool and on every beach there are more people than there would be spectators around the playing field at most amateur football games.

Why is this so?

We can't say it, ”the BFV is desperate.

“As things stand today, it can be assumed that the Council of Ministers will not

decide

any further

easing

in the next two weeks

, which - taking into account a lead time that is absolutely necessary for the game - will make amateur football in Bavaria in September impossible.

A circumstance that

has and will have

existential consequences

for you and your clubs

- of an economic nature, but also with regard to more and more absent women and men, boys and girls, ”writes

BFV President Rainer Koch

in his election appeal to the clubs .

Corona in Bavaria: BFV asks members: is a lawsuit threatened?

It is possible that there is now a threat of a

lawsuit

- that is what the survey among the member clubs should reveal.

The BFV is not concerned with a special role for

football

, “but with equal rights for everyone.

We stick to it: the

health of

everyone comes first.

We do not know how a concert or church service visitor differs from a sports field spectator, which is why our specialist lawyers tell us that a lawsuit against the unequal treatment of amateur football by the

Bavarian Infection

Control Ordinance would have a good chance of success, ”continues Koch.

However, legal recourse is the last resort, "that means we want to keep talking to the state government and continue to hope for a quick solution for amateur football in our favor."

Corona in Bavaria: daycare is running - three-stage plan is based on a seven-day incidence

Update from September 1, 9:07 p.m.:

Since Tuesday,

daycare

has been running

according to the so-called

three-stage plan of

the Free State of Bavaria.

This is based on the

seven-day incidence

.

This value measures the number of new infections reported within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants.

If the value is below 35 across the city, daycare will run without restrictions.

However, this hurdle has already been overcome in the last few days, which is why stage two of the concept is currently being used.

For daycare centers this means:

"The staff has to wear a mouth and nose cover,"

explains Julia Mayer, spokeswoman for the Department for Education and Sport.

The regulation has met with criticism.

The

Bundestag member Dieter Janecek (Greens) describes them

as

“completely unrealistic and out of touch with life”

to our newspaper.

He argues: "We can't expect very young children between the ages of zero and two

to meet

educators with

face

masks all day while

getting used

to it."

The members of the “Families in the Bavarian Crisis” initiative see it similarly.

In a statement it says: “Especially in early childhood education,

facial expressions are extremely relevant

for language learning and the development of social-emotional skills.

Preventing these elementary building blocks of child learning must not be the purpose of a hygiene plan. "

In addition,

stage two means

that the children have to stay

together

in

fixed groups

.

This should make it easier to understand the path of infection.

How long this condition lasts depends on how the numbers develop.

"If the seven-day incidence is falling, the prerequisite for withdrawing level two is that the incidence rate is stable for at least seven days below the limit value," explains Julia Mayer.

“As soon as this situation occurs, the daycare providers will be informed by the health department.” On Tuesday the value fell below 35 for the first time.

It is now at 34.59 - no reason to breathe a sigh of relief.

Corona in Bavaria: Warning of virus: "very difficult" decisions threaten - measures extended

Update from September 1, 3:03 p.m.:

Minister of State Florian Herrmann (CSU) has

vehemently

defended

the measures to

protect against the coronavirus

against

criticism

.

It is a mistake to conclude from the comparatively low number of infections, the free intensive care beds in the hospitals and the stagnating death rate in August that the

pandemic is

over.

He said that at the press conference after the cabinet meeting in Munich.

The situation could change "in no time" at any time.

"You always have to be clear about the fact that an unknown virus is fatal in case of doubt - and we have seen that."

The Bavarian government is therefore trying to keep the virus under control as far as possible, “so that it is not at the mercy of an exponential development again, which will inevitably lead to the health system coming under pressure, including the severe ones Illnesses get worse ”.

Then there would also be cases in the older generation and in institutions for the elderly, deaths would increase and “very difficult” ethical decisions would have to be made - for example, who should

get

a

ventilator

and who shouldn't.

Corona in Bavaria: Measures extended - all details about starting school: "Unfortunately, this is a bit of normality"

Update from September 1,

2:04 p.m.:

As expected, the Bavarian cabinet has

decided

that

masks are mandatory for starting school

.

During the first nine days of school, a mask is required from grade 5.

However, this could also

threaten

primary school students

.

If the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week is exceeded in a region, "there would be a mask requirement in face-to-face classes for everyone, including primary school children," said

Minister of Education Michael Piazolo

(Free Voters) on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting in Munich .

In order to minimize the risk of contagion in the case, the classes would also switch from the value to a switch between

classroom teaching

and

learning at home

, said Piazolo.

As early as 35 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, a mask requirement is to be reintroduced in all secondary schools - unless the schools concerned can

ensure a

minimum distance

of 1.5 meters between the students.

Despite all the measures it can to Bayern in

school closures

come - as in other states before.

“Unfortunately, that's a

bit of normality,

” said Piazolo.

With the step-by-step plan, the hygiene concept and groups that are as fixed as possible, the aim is to make the infection process more traceable.

It may then be sufficient to take a class out of school and not have to close the whole school.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Mask requirement in schools - The press conference for reading

Update from 1:50 p.m

.: The press conference is over.

Corona in Bavaria: retrospective measures necessary

Update from 1:49 p.m.:

You always ask yourself whether you could have done something differently, says Huml looking back on the measures taken.

It was of course not easy to take strict measures for

retirement homes

.

However, it was necessary when the numbers rose and there were even

deaths

.

Update 13:43:

"Our generation has no

fear

more before," warns Herrmann on demand of a journalist.

People are afraid of developing cancer or dementia, but not of infectious diseases.

In the video: Mask requirement decided - the press conference with Herrmann, Huml and Piazolo

Corona warning app allowed in schools: Bavarian state wants to support app

Update from 1.35 p.m.:

At first it was said that students are

not allowed to use

the

Corona app

in class.

Pupils should now have their cell phones switched on and silently in their pockets - and thus use the app.

“There was no swing,” explains Piazolo.

The state wants to support this app, which is why it should also be possible to use it in schools.

"Unfortunately, that's a bit of

normality,

" says Piazolo with a view to school closings in other federal states.

That will also happen in Bavaria.

However, not all federal states have a step-by-step plan as in Bavaria.

“We have a very intensive ventilation concept,” he adds.

You also consciously make fixed groups in order to be able to quickly follow up the infection process.

This means you can close a class if necessary, but you don't have to close the whole school.

Mask requirement in schools decided - according to Huml, demand for corona tests is high

Update from 1:20 p.m.:

There are 311 new cases in Bavaria, Health Minister

Melanie Huml announced

.

The numbers often go back to

travelers

returning home and private celebrations.

It is important to react locally.

The demand for

tests

is still great, explains Huml.

So far there have been 319,459 tests, explains Huml.

4087 people tested positive - people who without this test might have visited relatives in the

retirement home

after their vacation

.

Update from 1:18 p.m

.: "There will be no one hundred percent

planning

security

in the next school year either

." The planning will always be adjusted according to the infection, said Piazolo.

Corona virus in Bavaria: Piazolo announces mask requirement from grade 5

Update from 1:14 p.m

.: For the first nine days, the

mask requirement applies

from class 5, explains Piazolo.

In addition, you have a hygiene plan.

Schools should have fixed groups as possible, "intensive ventilation" and staggered break times.

"We offered series tests," the Bavarian Minister of Education continued.

Update from 1:11 p.m

.: "We will

start

regular operations

in the schools today in a week

," explains Minister of Education Michael Piazolo.

The "slightly modified"

step-by-step plan was also

adopted

today

.

Up to an incidence of 35 there will be "corresponding regular lessons with a mask requirement up to the place in the classroom. In class even then not."

From the value of 35, the mask must then also be worn in class - unless the schools can provide a corresponding distance.

Corona virus in Bavaria: Primary school students could also face compulsory masks

With a sharp increase in the number of corona cases in Bavaria, elementary school students could also face a mask requirement in class.

If the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants in one week is exceeded in a region, "there would be a mask requirement for all classroom teaching, including primary school children," said Piazolo.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: mask requirement in schools?

Press conference now live

Update from 1:05 p.m.:

The press conference begins.

Minister of State

Florian Herrmann

has the floor.

Today's meeting was all about Corona and the upcoming

school start

.

“The focus was on the best possible preparation for starting school.” Not only must the time in the classes and schools be safe, but also the way to get there.

The municipalities are responsible for this, but the Free State will

support

this with

funding

until the autumn break.

The current infection control measures will be extended until September 18.

Current infection protection measures will be extended until September 18, according to State Chancellery Herrmann.

Also the entry quarantine regulation.

Update from September 1st, 12.55 p.m

.: Today the Bavarian cabinet met.

One of the topics was the mask requirement at schools, which was announced yesterday.

There will be a press conference afterwards.

You can follow them here at 1 p.m. in the live stream and ticker.

Update from September 1, 11:23 a.m.:

The seven-day incidence * is an important factor in the fight against the

coronavirus

.

A Bavarian city is currently in first place in Germany with

40.2 new infections

per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days,

Ingolstadt

leads

the ranking.

The

Donaukurier

reports

.

Ingolstadt had already exceeded the early warning value of 35 on Friday.

New figures from the municipality are expected at noon.

According to Söder's announcement: Cabinet wants to make a mask requirement in schools - another press conference is imminent

First report from September 1, 9:38 a.m

.: Munich - For the first two

weeks of school

, Bavarian students and teachers also have to wear masks in class.

Markus Söder * announced this at a press conference on Monday (August 31) after the education summit.

Bavaria's Prime Minister had previously discussed with

Education Minister Michael Piazolo

(Free Voters) and representatives of parents, students and teachers about how the spread of the

corona virus

can be restricted in the around 6,200 schools in the Free State.

Söder

called the

mask requirement

a necessary evil.

After Söder's education summit with students and teachers: Cabinet wants to make mask compulsory

One day later, on Tuesday (September 1), the

cabinet

now wants to resolve the temporary mask requirement.

Mouth and nose must be covered for nine days after the summer vacation.

Primary schools

are exempt from the mask requirement

.



In addition, it is mandatory to wear a mask in the school buildings, in corridors and in toilets beyond the first nine days of school.

Should there be local infections, the concept relies on regional solutions such as

quarantine regulations

for individual classes or schools.

Closures across the country should be prevented as far as possible.

Politicians in Germany are warning of the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. * But what does this second corona wave stand for?

And how do virologists think it will go?

In order to minimize the risk of infection on the way to school, the state reimburses additional costs for additional school buses - all measures for starting school in Bavaria can be found here at a glance.

In Bavaria, face-to-face teaching takes precedence over distance teaching.

That is why we help with public transport: The Free State bears the additional costs if more buses are used.
