  • Bavaria's Prime Minister

    Markus Söder

    (CSU) calls for a nationwide corona traffic light

    (update from September 27, 9:29 p.m.)

  • In Bavaria, the corona cases are still at a high level, but a trend is

    emerging (update from September 27, 6:33 p.m.).

  • In Munich, the 7-day incidence falls below the critical level (see update from September 27, 6:33 p.m.).

  • Here you can find the Corona news from Germany.

    We also offer you the current number of cases in Bavaria in a map. *

Update from September 27, 9:29 p.m

.: Bavaria has been pushing forward since the beginning of the corona pandemic.

Although

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder

(CSU) emphasizes again and again how important a common, uniform path with the federal and state governments is in the Corona crisis.

Two days before Chancellor Angela Merkel's switching conference with the 16 prime ministers, Söder is now calling for clarity.

"

We now need a binding, proportionate and reliable set of rules for the winter,

" said Prime Minister Markus Söder of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Söder suggests a

uniform corona traffic light

.

According to Söder's suggestion, the

corona traffic light turns yellow

if there are

35 or more infected people per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days

in a district or in a municipality

.

Then tests could be ordered for risk groups, spectators excluded from Bundesliga games and a mask requirement for pupils from the 5th grade could be ordered.

If the number rises to 50 infected people, according to Söders' proposal, the number of participants at private celebrations could be further reduced, curfew hours extended and a mask requirement in public places introduced.

Corona in Bavaria: is the situation in the Free State easing?

Update from September 27, 6:33 p.m

.: In Bavaria, the health authorities have reported

251 new corona infections

to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

in the past 24 hours

.

In Bavaria, the

7-day incidence

is

16.8

, announced the RKI in its Covid-19 management report (September 27).

According to the RKI, the value is “well” above the nationwide average of 13.4 (data as of September 27th, midnight).

However, the

7-day incidence in Bavaria has shown

a decreasing trend in recent days, emphasizes the RKI in the Corona management report.

The district of Dingolfing-Landau is currently still well above the 50 mark for the 7-day incidence.

In the Röhn-Grabfeld district, the value is below 50 again. There was a corona outbreak here after a wedding.

According to the RKI, 36 corona cases alone could be assigned to a wedding celebration in Röhn-Grabfeld.

However, the number of cases continues to develop very dynamically.

In the

district of Günzburg

70 people are in quarantine.

As reported by Bayerischer Rundfunk, it is a school class with 34 students and three teachers.

Another class had already been quarantined last week.

Overall, there are

473 people

in quarantine

in the Günzburg district

.

The city of Munich has also published the new corona case numbers: In Munich,

75

new corona cases were

confirmed

for Saturday (September 26), the state capital announced via Twitter on Sunday.

The 

7-day incidence

 for Munich is

37.99

(as of September 26).

The number of newly reported corona cases per 100,000 inhabitants is therefore below 50. However, the 7-day incidence is still above the

signal value of 35

Corona in Bavaria: Rush to test station on the A 93

Update from September 27, 1:42 p.m.:

After a long

traffic jam

on Saturday, there were again

delays at the Corona test station

on the A 93

on Sunday morning (September 27)

.

At the entrance to the

Heuberg rest area

it jammed, said a police spokesman on Sunday.

For the most part, however, the traffic is normal.

The test station is busy.

The police spokesman could not say

whether and how long

return travelers had

to wait for a corona test. 

On Saturday,

a long traffic jam

had formed on the

A 93 in the direction of Rosenheim

up to the German-Austrian border crossing in

Kiefersfelden

.

The rush to the rest area, where

corona swabs are

carried out, was great.

There were long waiting times.

The traffic situation only calmed down in the afternoon.



After the classification of the Austrian state of

Tyrol

as a risk area, it is likely that vacationers will leave earlier and have a corona test done, said a police spokesman in Rosenheim on Saturday.

Coronavirus in Munich: Event with over 130 people - police move out on several missions

Update from September 27, 12:57 p.m

.: In Munich, due to the

corona virus,

some requirements apply.

Even so, the police had many missions over the weekend.

Over 130 people met in Freimann for an event.

Update from September 27, 10:41 a.m.: Due to the

corona, the Oktoberfest in Munich has failed.

The autumn festival in Ingolstadt, on the other hand, takes place - subject to conditions.

Now it has opened. *

Corona in Bavaria: Drastic measures in Munich over soon?

Söder with an urgent appeal

Update from September 26, 6:21 p.m.:

Bavaria's Prime Minister

Markus Söder

(CSU) had a busy schedule today.

First there was the commemoration for the victims of the Wiesn attack * 40 years ago.

Then it went on to the virtual

party conference of

the

CSU

.

If he still had time

to study

the latest

Corona numbers

from

Munich

in between, he will have been happy.

Because the number of

new infections

has decreased significantly.

While there were 135 cases on Thursday, the number fell to 70 on Friday.

The number of

reproductions also

fell below the decisive value of one.

It is now 0.91.

This means that 100 people infect only 91 people with the

virus

.

The

7-day incidence value

is particularly decisive for the Bavarian state capital

.

At the beginning of the week this had risen above the critical mark of 50 infected people per 100,000 inhabitants.

Therefore,

a

general

decree was issued

in

Munich

and, among other things, the

mask requirement was issued

in many areas in the city center.

On Friday, however, the value fell back to 37.99.

If the trend continues, the new

measures

could

be lifted again later this week.

In # Munich, 70 new # coronavirus cases were confirmed for Friday, September 25th.

This means that a total of 11,171 infections have been reported so far.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder becomes clear - "Can't give the all-clear"

Update from September 26, 2:37 p.m.:

Today, Saturday, the

CSU

meets

for Labor Party

Congress

- due to the

coronavirus pandemic,

not in person, but online.

In

his keynote address,

party leader Markus Söder

cannot avoid

devoting

himself to the latest developments in

relation to returning travelers

, the use of

masks

in schools and the increasing number of cases.

"Corona is here - and Corona is dangerous," he says and also finds clear words beyond that.

CSU boss Söder is satisfied with the course so far

"When Corona knocks at a nursing home, it is life-threatening" and "when the

hospitals are

full, it is actually already too late", Söder sums up and is otherwise satisfied with the strategy of his party over the past seven months.

Even if, for example, the number "50" - that is,

50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants

- still sounds "ominous" to one or the other, it would still be essential for understanding the

infection process

.

They should not be understood as punctual markers, but they always show that "everything that lies above can no longer be understood".

The

CSU boss

explicitly addresses the

scientific community with

a compliment

: "In this short period of time you have never known as much about a virus as it is now," said Söder, but "we have only been on the road for almost seven months and we must not speculate" he continues.

So he still expects "some nasty surprises" and some nasty complications of the

coronavirus

-

Söder

is still well known

to have taken

a different strategy than, for example,

Sweden

:

For me as a Christian this is not ethically justifiable.

And the strategy of Bavaria, the CSU and me personally cannot be to accept old, weak and sick people as dead.

Markus Söder, CSU

“But we don't want a second, general, area-wide

lockdown,

” Söder clarifies.

The consequences for the

economy

and

society

would be too difficult, especially the elderly and children would have suffered too much from the restrictions.

That is why the

CSU boss

calls for

"protection of the population" on the one hand, but also both the preservation of jobs and a "learning and teaching guarantee".

The start of school would have been a success if the

mask

in class

would reduce

the risk of infection by up to 90 percent - and would be essential so soon after the vacation period.

We do not want a second comprehensive lockdown.

The consequences would be devastating.

In addition to the economy, daycare and school must also remain open.

Children must not suffer from a lockdown.

Respect and thanks to teachers and educators.

Söder

wants to

stick to the

previous course,

he wants to constantly adapt the strategy and thereby control the

pandemic

in

Bavaria

- as best he can.

The

health service

has been upgraded,

test capacities

have been expanded and

testing

is not pointless, but rather “smart”, Söder continues.

With the

free corona tests, the

state created

a "service for the safety of citizens" so that over

6000 positive corona cases could

be detected at an early stage.

The Garmisch-Partenkirchen case shows the progress of the test procedure compared to the spring: After just under a week, many concerned citizens could be given the all-clear, reports

Söder

.

Coronavirus pandemic: joy and reason are not mutually exclusive

According to the

CSU boss,

a “difficult winter” is imminent, which is why he

demands caution

from every single citizen

.

"Restricting private instead of professional activities" is

how Söder

describes the credo of the hour.

In order not to

wake up

with a “

corona hangover

”, he admonishes not to “party”, because whenever you were more reckless - for example with alcohol - the

risk

of

infection

would also be

increased.

“Joy and reason are not mutually exclusive,” says Söder, and advocates “celebrating less extreme” in order to protect other people, such as grandparents.

Could it be that the mask requirement in the pedestrian zone in Munich will soon be lifted again?

At some point there will be a

vaccine

and better medication, until then there will have to be a

mask requirement and clearances

, so Söder pragmatically.

Nonetheless, everyone has the “right to skepticism and demonstration”,

but

Söder

sees the increasing radicalization and the establishment of a “Corona-Pegida”

with great concern.

Right-wing extremists

would be

much more open than ever

in the

coronavirus pandemic

.

The tone is becoming more abstruse and aggressive, says Söder and has to "take a deep breath" himself - in view of hostility and death threats against his person: "You will not live to see tomorrow" and "You should be gassed stinking Judensau", cited Söder as a few examples therefor.

Update from September 25, 7:54 p.m.:

Not only

Munich

is

struggling

with rising

corona numbers

.

Infections are also increasing in more and more neighboring countries.

The

Robert Koch Institute

(RKI) therefore regularly classifies regions and countries in Europe and around the world as

risk areas

.

This is accompanied by a

travel warning from

the

federal government

to avoid these areas.

Today the

RKI added

two countries and one region to this list.

The

entire country of the

Czech Republic

and

Luxembourg

are now considered

risk areas

.

A trip to

Tyrol

in

Austria

should also be saved from now on.

The Austrian state - which is also where the origin of the European pandemic,

Ischgl

, is located - is now one of three

risk areas

in the Alpine country alongside

Vienna

and

Vorarlberg

.

Bavaria

is thus

virtually surrounded by

corona hotspots

.

Munich: More than twice as many Corona cases as the day before - Nevertheless, the trend is turning

Update from 3:16 p.m.:

135 new corona cases were reported in Munich for Thursday (September 24).

That is more than twice as many as the day before.

The city reported 62 new cases yesterday.

In total, there

have been 11,101 infections

in the

state capital

so far.

The numbers are also increasing in schools. *

The 

7-day incidence

 for Munich is 

42.47

.

This means that the important incidence figure is further removed from the critical limit value despite the renewed increase in new infections.

This is 50.

In # Munich, 135 new # coronavirus cases were confirmed for Thursday, September 24th.

This means that a total of 11,101 infections have been reported so far.
