Update, 10:24 p.m.:
After a long negotiation marathon, Chancellor Merkel (CSU), Berlin's Mayor Müller (SPD) and Bavaria's Prime Minister Söder (CSU) appeared in front of the press at 10:15 p.m.
Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the round with warning words.
The growth that is currently taking place in Germany is already exponential.
Act now to prevent a lockdown.
There are
contact restrictions
in Corona hotspots
imposed both outside and inside.
First, rules are made for a certain period of time, because the current figures reflect the situation ten days ago.
Travel that is not urgent is not recommended, says Merkel.
This particularly applies to risk areas.
A curfew for the catering industry is also part of the measures that have been taken for hot spots.
Corona in Bavaria: After the marathon in Berlin - Söder with drastic words about the current situation
Berlin's mayor Müller also begins his part with warning words.
There had been constructive but also controversial discussions.
However, the results are satisfactory, said Müller.
It is important to comply with the applicable measures.
This will also be strictly controlled.
Then Prime Minister Söder took the floor.
"We
are closer to the second lockdown than we might think,
" said Söder.
"We have to raise awareness of what it is actually about".
A second lockdown would fundamentally damage Germany's prosperity.
It is therefore urgently necessary to implement what has been decided.
Corona shows in the rest of Europe that it is still dangerous.
The CSU boss suspects that the situation could even be worse than in spring.
"There is so much at stake," said Söder.
That concludes the statements of the politicians.
Update, 9:15 p.m.:
In Berlin, the
Prime Minister's
Conference
is currently still
wrestling
with the new measures
against the corona virus in Germany.
A press conference with Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), Berlin Mayor Michael Müller (SPD) and Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) was actually planned for this afternoon - but the politicians
have not yet appeared in front of the press
.
Corona in Bavaria: is the curfew coming?
Negotiations are ongoing in Berlin
But the first information has already leaked that is also important for Munich.
In the future,
a maximum of ten people
should be allowed to meet
in public spaces
if the incidence value in the region is over 50.
If this regulation does not have the desired effect, it should be restricted to five people or members of two households.
However, the final decision on the concept is still pending.
This is reported by bild.de.
It also states that with an
incidence value of 50, a curfew
should apply
from 11 p.m.
This means that Munich in Bavaria, for example, would currently be affected by this new measure.
The politicians' negotiations continue at the moment.
Update from October 14th, 3:52 p.m.:
In
Bodenkirchen in
Lower Bavaria
(Landshut district) there has now been a major outbreak of
corona cases
.
The reason was probably an illegal
“Oktoberfest” party
in a machine hall.
So far,
20
of the up to
150 guests have
tested positive for the
virus
.
These are men and women between the ages of 25 and 32.
The
Landshut District Office announced
this today.
Now the employees of the office are trying to
find
more
party guests
to prevent
the
virus
from
spreading
.
Three siblings had invited
to the celebration in a
machine hall
on a
farm
.
The party - with a beer barrel and live music - took place on October 3rd.
But the
health department
was
only
informed
yesterday
.
Since then,
20 positive cases have been
confirmed.
"It is currently known that, among other things, a
family doctor
from the region was
infected
with the
Covid-19 virus
- she was visited by participants in the unapproved
party
in
Bodenkirchen
for
corona tests
," said the
health department
.
Initially, the organizers probably tried to get the
party guests
to keep silent about the event.
But now there is an
administrative offense
against the three
organizers
and now they are calling on their guests
to report
to the
health department
.
Guests from the
Mühldorf district
were probably also
present
at the
party
.
These are now also requested to report to the authorities.
Corona in Bavaria: Prime Minister Markus Söder calls for uniform rules for all of Germany
(Initial report)
Munich
- In many parts of
Bavaria
- but also in the rest of
Germany
- the number of
corona infections
continues to
rise
.
A dramatic development that can only
be countered
with stricter
rules
for everyone, according to the opinion of the
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder
(CSU).
He will travel to
Berlin
on Wednesday (October 14th)
to promote
uniform
measures
throughout
Germany
at a conference of the heads of state
.
Coronavirus in Bavaria: Measures for hotspots also help other municipalities
Since the virus * not just do in my country or city boundaries, advocates
Söder
on the
protective measures
to strengthen everywhere.
In an interview with the
BR
, the
Prime Minister
said
that “clear rules are needed for everyone”.
Areas with low
numbers of infections
should
implement the same guidelines as so-called
corona hotspots
.
“Possibly this also means applying the same concepts to those who have even lower values that we now have with those who have higher
incidences
.” This also includes
rules
for private parties and events.
The
principle applies here
, "more mask, significantly less alcohol and a clear restriction at parties and celebrations in the private sector", says
Söder
.
#Corona does not stick to national borders, says @Markus_Soeder It therefore needs a common line, a uniform approach #coronavirus pic.twitter.com/LCYqAvzunL

Söder
also
looks
at the other countries in
Europe
with concern
.
The situation there is similar to that in spring.
The numbers would
explode
around
Germany
.
There are
“partial lockdowns”
everywhere,
such as in the
Netherlands, France and Spain
, according to
Söder
in an
interview
with
ZDF heute journal
.
Something wants
state leader
for
Bavaria
necessarily prevent.
“The numbers are growing exponentially here too.” In many regions they are “too high too early”.
He therefore once again appealed to the common
sense
.
This is the only way to
prevent
major damage to
schools
and the
economy
.
"If we don't act quickly and consistently, then worse threatens."
Coronavirus in Bavaria: Söder holds on to the controversial incidence value
There has been criticism of the threshold value of the
7-day incidence *
of 50 for a
long time
. Söder defended the number, however.
"If the numbers jump over significantly, then the health authorities no longer have a chance to follow up." The
Prime Minister
remains
tough
when it comes to
fines
.
Anyone who is unreasonable must
expect
a corresponding
sanction
.
In
Bavaria
, for example, a violation of the mask requirement costs 250 euros.
This is how high the
fine
should be
in the rest of
Germany
, if it were up to
Söder
.
The head of state also
continues to
consider the
ban
on
accommodation
to be sensible.
Only those who have a negative
corona test are
allowed to
go on vacation
in
Bavaria
.
"It would be best if people wouldn't drive back and forth across the area, not drive everywhere and then end up with
infections
or
bring
infections
with them," says
Söder
.
Only if the same philosophy prevails in the guidelines in Germany, then it does not matter whether a traveler comes from Berlin or Munich, according to the country manager.
The President of the Leopoldines, Dr.
Gerald Haug, advocates uniform rules.
Corona in Bavaria: Stricter measures apply in Munich
New, stricter
corona rules
have been in effect in
Munich
since Wednesday (midnight)
.
The city has
responded
to the increased
incidence number
- which was recently well over 50 again.

safeguards
are now in the Bavarian capital, you can read in our review article *.
