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

.

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.

What

safeguards

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