Here again the measures in a nutshell: The resolutions of the Corona summit in Berlin apply, with the Bavarian tightening that the contact restriction on two households also extends quite explicitly to private space.

In the Berlin resolution, the private contact restriction is only a recommendation.

By the way, if you are desperate about the Corona number theory again: This is why the incidence values ​​so often deviate from each other. *

Corona lockdown in Bavaria: These restrictions apply from Monday (November 2nd)

• Contact:

  Only two households and a maximum of ten people are allowed to meet.

  In Bavaria, this restriction also explicitly applies to one's own home.

• The

  gastronomy

  , i.e. bars, clubs, but also restaurants, pubs and pubs close completely.

  Delivery services

  and take-away are still allowed.

• All

  recreational facilities

  will be closed, i.e. cinemas, theaters, concert halls, casinos, brothels and so on.

  sports facilities will also be

  closed.

  That means: swimming pools, fitness studios, saunas, as well as amateur or club sports - all closed and abolished.

Now the BR is still talking to the CSU parliamentary group chairman Thomas Kreuzer and representatives of the other parliamentary groups in the

.

Here, too, Kreuzer's tenor is: Better to keep schools open than pubs.

The FDP criticizes that. The Greens basically support the measures.

Tomorrow in a special session in the state parliament, all parliamentary groups will have the opportunity to express their criticism and concerns about the lockdown.

The free voters, however, are unanimously behind the course of the state government.

Therefore, announced urgent motions will hardly have a chance of a majority.

13:56

: Also head of the state chancellery - "Human contacts are the fodder for the virus" -

agrees with the tenor and asks everyone to refrain from private travel if possible.

Citizens are encouraged to refrain from private trips and visits, reports State Chancellery Florian Herrmann.

Therefore, from November 2nd, hotel stays are only allowed for business purposes.

1:50 p.m.:

After Söder,

Minister of Economics,

speaks

.

“The impacts are increasing,” says

He asks every critic to put himself in the position of the district administrators and ministers, i.e. the decision-makers.

“The numbers arrive in the hospitals.” The person who criticizes the lockdown then also has to explain to the family why their family member is no longer receiving an intensive care bed because the hospital is full.

"The current measures will also not stick to it," says Aiwanger.

1:50 p.m.: In a nutshell:

There are not really any extra measures for Bavaria, Söder simply explained the measures decided in Berlin yesterday for Bavaria and tightened them a little.

order to be able to provide the best possible care for the heavily burdened hospitals.

Bavaria wants to declare a disaster again in the next few days because the number of intensive care patients is increasing sharply, says Söder.

“It rises steeply.

Doing nothing will make it worse. "

- Christian Deutschländer (@CDeutschlaender) October 29, 2020

For Söder, the most important point is the

, "not a contact ban like in France, but a contact restriction", which in Bavaria also explicitly applies to private areas.

In Bavaria it is therefore generally binding that - regardless of where - only the members of your own household and of another household may meet, with a maximum of ten people in total.

The federal-state decision on Wednesday had explicitly regulated this only for “staying in public”.

So it's much stricter in Bavaria.

Schools and day-care centers, on the other hand, remain open, as does retail and wholesale trade under the current rules (distance requirement, only one customer per 10 square meters, etc.).

1:47 p.m

.: “November is always a dark month of the year.

It has never been my favorite month, ”says Söder.

And closes with an appeal that everyone now also adhere to the measures so that November can pass quickly.

Söder announces corona lockdown: High hopes that Christmas will look better again

1:46 p.m.:

The hope is great, with Söder even a conviction "that Christmas will look better again."

1:43 p.m.:

Söder also tries to refute the argument that the infection mainly happens at private parties and meetings.

That is right.

It is also correct, however, that the open gastronomy apparently did not hold anyone in front of private celebrations, otherwise it would look different with the infection numbers.

1:41 p.m

.: "The institutions such as gastronomy and culture have put an incredible

effort into infection protection

" says Söder.

Nevertheless, they have to be closed.

In the same breath, Söder refers to the compensation program announced yesterday.

“That has never been done in Bavaria before.” With more than 50 employees, 75 percent of sales from November last year are paid.

With fewer employees, a little less.

Söder tightens lockdown decision for Bavaria: contact restrictions also apply in private areas

1.40 p.m

.: Now he comes to the measures, as announced yesterday.

Only two households are allowed to meet.

Also for schoolchildren on vacation: meeting a friend is okay, two is too many.

This also applies to leisure and amateur sports.

All leisure facilities will be closed.

And that is less strictly regulated in the nationwide decision: In Bavaria, meetings in private rooms are only allowed with two households and a maximum of ten people.

1.39 p.m

.: Söder thanks the prime ministers of the federal states, who go along with the lockdown despite lower infection

than Bavaria.

1:38 p.m.:

The infection process can no longer be controlled in any other way.

That is also what the RKI says.

According to the RKI, only 20 percent of the chains of infection are traceable.

1:36 p.m.:

Now Söder is repeating the measures for the lockdown light, as announced yesterday by Merkel and Söder, which is primarily aimed at the leisure sector.

1.35 p.m.:

Söder criticizes the attitude of commentators who say deaths are part of it in the strongest possible terms.

Bavaria would not survive the so-called contamination strategy.

1:34 p.m.:

The German research community wrote to politicians in a joint letter.

If nothing happens, there will be up to 90,000 infections per day in Germany at the end of November.

The deaths are already rising again in Germany.

Söder live on the corona situation: a disaster should be declared in the next few days

1:32 p.m.:

The number of infections in the past week has doubled.

The beds in the hospitals are already running out.

Therefore, Söder wants to declare the disaster, the disaster for Bavaria *.

1.30 p.m.:

First of all, Söder gives the facts, over 3000 cases on Wednesday and a 7-day incidence 107. Also for Bavaria, a new record according to Söder.
