The Bavarian administrative court has overturned a corona measure.

Now the government has responded.

Meanwhile, the number of cases in the state capital Munich continues to rise.

  • The corona numbers are increasing, Germany is in partial lockdown.

  • The Bavarian Administrative Court has approved an urgent application.

  • This news ticker is updated regularly.

  • Here we offer you the current case numbers in Bavaria in a map *.

Update 14:04:

In a 

clinic in Munich

 , there was a

Corona outbreak.

According to

 tz

information, the

Neuperlach

location of 

the Munich Clinic is

 affected.

Three employees and ten patients are apparently infected.

It is not yet known exactly how big the outbreak is.

Test results are still pending.

Update from 10:26 a.m.:

The number of corona cases continues to increase.

The Department for Health and Environment (RGU) in Munich is already

struggling

with the high numbers of infections

.

Upon request, the agency announced that the 

tracking of infections

 was "currently a significant challenge".

It could take several days after a test to contact the infected, "also because the laboratories are currently working at full capacity and there may be delays".

How many people from the

Bavarian capital are

currently waiting for their result, one does not want to say.

In the week of November 2nd to 8th, 8,328 people were tested in the city.

For Munich, the RKI today reports

484 new corona cases

and an incidence of 214.9.

Update from November 13th, 9.15 a.m.:

Meanwhile, the corona infections in Bavaria's central metropolises Augsburg *, Regensburg, Nuremberg * and Munich remain high.

In Regensburg, a corona party with 50 young people * caused a lot of trouble.

Update from November 13th, 7:26 am:

Because of the

corona pandemic

, almost all

indoor sports facilities

in

Bavaria will be

closed

from today (Friday, November 13th)

.

Only

school and professional sports are

allowed, according to the government's instructions.

The measure is a

reaction

to the Bavarian

Administrative

Court: This had decided that

fitness studios

may reopen.

State Secretary for

Health

Klaus Holetschek (CSU)

said in an interview with the German Press Agency (dpa) that they only

preferred

a

decision

"which Bavaria would have proposed anyway at the next Prime Minister's Conference next Monday".

With the decision to close Indoor sports facilities for individuals and individual sports, the government withdrew the

decision

of the Bavarian Administrative Court for the

reopening

of

Gyms

its

foundation.

There it was said that due to the principle of equality, fitness studios should be allowed to reopen when indoor sports facilities are also open.

After the ruling on the opening of fitness studios: Bavaria will close all indoor sports facilities from Friday

With the

measure

one wants to

comply with

the

judgment

, so Holetschek - just in the

opposite way

.

"Protection

against infection

and the health of our citizens have absolute priority," said Holetschek.

The current

infection rate

currently does not allow easing such as opening the gym.

Update from November 12, 6.10 p.m.:

In an exclusive interview with

Bild.de

,

Prime Minister Markus Söder *

(CSU) again on the

ongoing

controversial issue of

mask compulsory in schools

.

He would like to see uniform regulations throughout Germany.

The

education ministers of the federal states

are already working on it,

Söder

continues.

And despite the low number of infections in schools in Bavaria, the head of state continued to defend the

mask requirement at primary schools

.

"The children get along well with it." He would also like a uniform cross-border

quarantine rule

for infected people at educational institutions.

When

asked about

a prospect of

Christmas

,

Söder

said

that the issue now should not be where you can go on holiday over the holidays, but who you can spend it with.

His goal is: "As much family as possible." Whether that is possible, however, depends on the next few weeks.

Only at the

end of the partial lockdown

does it make sense to adopt new measures or loosen regulations.

Corona

will not just go away.

We have to live with it, ”said the Prime Minister when asked what Christmas could look like in two to three years.

However, he has a "realistic" hope for the new

vaccine

.

He will also be vaccinated if there is approval.

There

will be no

compulsory vaccination

, he emphasized again.

Update, 13:59:

The Bavarian

Administrative Court

has complete

closure of gyms

 in the course of the partial lockdown

tilted

.

The complete closure violates the principle of equal treatment, the court ruled in a decision published in Munich on Thursday.

The corresponding regulation in the Bavarian state

ordinance is suspended

.

Legal remedies are not possible.

Corona lockdown: Bavarian administrative court overturns gymnasium closure

With the decision that gave

judges the urgent application

of an operator of fitness centers in some

place

.

The Senate assumes that owners of fitness studios will be disadvantaged by the complete closure, without this being objectively justified.

The complete closure is not proportionate because individual sport should remain permissible under the regulation.

This must also apply to fitness studios.

However, the court rejected the operator's request for the cancellation of the remaining restrictions on individual sport.

The current infection process justifies the restrictions, even if the economic activity of sports businesses is severely restricted.

Update from November 12, 1:28 p.m.:

The head of the association of doctors in the public health service has spoken out against Bavaria's special way with free corona tests even for symptom-free people.

"I would think it would be right if we had nationwide uniform

regulations

, also with regard to testing, since the infection rate has now exceeded the critical levels in almost all federal states," said

Ute Teichert of

the magazine "Kommunal" (Thursday).

In the Free State - unlike in other federal states - anyone can be tested for free without a reason.

In contrast to other federal states, there have recently been no capacity problems in the laboratories with a capacity utilization of around 60 percent.

State Chancellor

Florian Herrmann

(CSU) said on Tuesday that an average of 47,000 tests were carried out in Bavaria every day, and the total capacity was around 78,000 tests.

The Free State therefore continues to rely on the strategy with free tests.

Corona record in Traunstein: distance lessons for many students

Update from November 12th, 12:33 p.m.:

In view of a record number of

Sars-CoV-2 infections

, many students in the Traunstein district

should

go

back to

distance learning

.

The district office announced on Thursday that classroom teaching would be temporarily suspended from Monday to December 4, “due to the diffuse infection situation”.



Elementary schools and various other types of schools and classes are excluded.

Additional face-to-face classes should be provided by preparatory institutions as well as

start and finish

classes of

different school types.

The State Office for Health and Food Safety previously reported an incidence of 416.20 (see update from November 11, 8:03 p.m.).

Corona in Bavaria: Around 34,500 students are in quarantine

Update from November 12, 11:53 a.m

.: Around 34,500 students and 2,100 teachers are currently in

Corona quarantine

in Free State

.

As of Thursday, 2,800 children and young people and around 400 teachers also had a positive

Covid-19 test

, according to data from the Ministry of Culture in Munich.

24 of the almost 6,200 schools in the Free State are closed due to corona infections.

In addition, 940 other classes are being trained temporarily via distance learning.



The figures are rounded data, however, as non-state schools do not have to report their information.

Due to the voluntary basis, the overview is therefore not necessarily complete.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Traunstein with an incidence of 416

Update from November 11, 8:03 p.m.:

The Traunstein district is still a corona hotspot with a record number of Sars-CoV-2 infections.

On Wednesday, the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) reported a seven-day incidence of 416.20 - the highest value known to date from Bavaria.

The Traunstein District Office called the infection process "dynamic, diffuse and extensive".

District Administrator Siegfried Walch (CSU) spoke in a video spot of a "galloping upward movement".

Update from November 11th, 1:26 p.m

.: All toddlers in Bavaria with a

cold and cough without fever

are allowed to

go to daycare

from Thursday even

without a negative corona test result

.

"With this step, we are taking into account the currently low risk of infection in day-care centers," said Minister of Social Affairs Carolina Trautner (CSU) on Wednesday in Munich.

On the other hand, it is also about the

organization within the families

.

“Daycare centers are particularly important for families in order to be able to combine family and work.” Children have a right to education, but also to the social bond with other children and the educational staff.



The previously valid

three-stage plan of the state government

, which regulates the access rules for daycare centers and curative educational day-care centers according to the infection rate in a municipality, will be suspended until at least November 30, 2020.

“There are no nationwide restrictions in day care during this time,” said the ministry.

In order

to keep

the spread of the

virus

under control

in the daycare centers

, the children must first be looked after in fixed groups again.

All sick children who have a fever, severe cough, sore throat or ear pain, stomach pain, vomiting or diarrhea are not allowed to go to daycare centers.

After such an illness, a child may only return to the facility if they have been free of symptoms and fever for at least 24 hours and have a negative corona test or a certificate that

proves

that they are

symptom-free

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Pandemic hits the hospitality industry hard - sales are falling

Update from November 11, 11:01 a.m

.: Corona has hit the Bavarian hospitality industry hard.

In the first nine months of 2020,

sales were around a third below the previous year's value

, as the State Office for Statistics announced on Wednesday.

This also led

to a slump in

employment

: the average for the first nine months was 14.7 percent below the comparison value from 2019.

Part-time positions

were

particularly

affected.

Financially, the

accommodation area was

hit a little harder.

Adjusted for price, sales fell by 37.6 percent.

In gastronomy, the minus was lower at 30.8 percent, although there are major differences here: the beverage-dominated gastronomy had to accept the largest minus of the seven economic groups in the hospitality industry at 55.2 percent.

None of them went up.

The

campsites

got the

worst

with a fall in sales of 7.2 percent.



No turnaround is expected for the year as a whole either: The tightened Corona measures in November hit the area with bans on accommodation for tourists and closings in the

catering trade

hard.

New corona numbers reported for Munich: incidence is falling slightly

Update from November 11th, 9.11 a.m

.: The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) * reported 328 new corona cases for Munich, the incidence is 196.1.

The value has fallen back below 200, yesterday it was 207.52.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: mask requirement at schools remains - urgent application rejected

Update from November 10th, 6:50 p.m.:

The

mask requirement in Bavarian schools

remains in

effect

-

the

Bavarian Administrative Court (VGH) has

rejected

a corresponding

urgent application

.

However

, the judges

ruled

on Tuesday (November 10) in Munich

that

students

must be

able to take breaks

outdoors and in compliance with the minimum distance

.

From the point of view of the VGH,

wearing a mouth and nose covering is generally reasonable for students

.

Even with younger students, it cannot be ruled out that they might become infected with the virus or pass the infection on to others.

The judges justified the breaks in wearing

school

with

compulsory school attendance

- because this

meant

that students could not avoid

wearing

masks.

The principle of proportionality requires this.

Against the

mask mandatory

procedure were

two primary school pupils from Bavaria

, represented by their parents.

They cannot appeal against the decision.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Does “Lockdown” have an effect in Berchtesgadener Land?

New numbers known

Update from November 10th, 6.43pm:

The

nationwide first partial lockdown

this autumn in Berchtesgadener Land is apparently

having an

effect after three weeks.

The

seven-day incidence

- the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week - fell to 157.65, according to the district office - half of the high of 324 at the end of October.

However, the agency also reported

two new deaths

on Tuesday (November 10)

.

Two women, aged 88 and 90, died.

This increased the number of those who died with the virus to 32. In total, around 1500 people in

the Berchtesgadener Land district

have been

infected with the Sars-CoV-2 virus

since the beginning of the pandemic

, and around 1240 have recovered.

Corona in Bavaria: Government draws first lockdown balance - then Söder-Minister suddenly targets Munich

Update from 1:48 p.m

.: According to the state government, the corona test laboratories in Bavaria are currently far

from reaching their

capacity limit.

On average over the past seven days, 47,000 tests were carried out daily, the total capacity in the country is 78,000 tests, according to

State Chancellor Florian Herrmann

 on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting.

Around 40,000 of these tests could be carried out in private laboratories and 38,000 in communal test centers.

Since the number of infections is currently increasing sharply, the number of tests is increasing as a result of the many follow-ups of the contact persons.



"In mathematical terms, we still have increased capacity," said Herrmann.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Health has now been commissioned to evaluate nationwide where individual laboratories are overloaded.

“We take

laboratory worries

very seriously, and we don't want the laboratories to be

overwhelmed

.” Herrmann emphasized that, unlike recently recommended by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Bavaria would not fundamentally change its test strategy.

However, it is being examined where, for example, the new rapid tests could be used in the future and in which regions the

test centers

need additional support.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: RKI recommends restriction of tests

The

RKI

had recommended a significant restriction of corona tests because of the overload of test laboratories in many places in Germany.

Even people with symptoms of the disease should only be tested if their condition

has not improved

even after several days of

self

-

isolation

.

Towards the end of the press conference, Minister of Education

Michael Piazolo

commented on

the situation in schools.

There is money available for mobile air purification devices.

These are intended for classrooms where lateral and shock ventilation is not possible.

Munich has already made it clear that it does not want to purchase such devices.

"I would ask Munich again to think about this position", appealed Piazolo.

Corona in Bavaria: Government draws first lockdown balance - then Söder-Minister suddenly targets Munich

Update from 1:33 p.m.:

After Melanie Huml, Minister of Culture Michael Piazolo is now speaking.

"Corona doesn't stop at schools," he explains.

A high level of personnel expenditure is required: many people are busy with the hygiene concept.

There are also pregnant teachers who belong to the risk group.

The staff was therefore increased at an early stage, including the team teachers.

37 million euros are available: every classroom is to be equipped with CO2 traffic lights.

Mobile air purification devices

should be available for classrooms where

cross and shock ventilation

is

not

possible.

According to Piazolo, Munich has made it clear that they do not want to purchase such devices.

"I would ask Munich again to think about this position," he explains.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Health Minister Huml explains vaccination strategy for the Free State

Update from 1:27 p.m.:

Huml also comments on the vaccination strategy: The vaccines are brought to nine locations in the Free State.

there should be vaccination sites similar to the

test centers

, but mobile

vaccination teams are also

planned.

These are supposed to

vaccinate

, for example, in

retirement homes

.

Until the vaccine is available, one has to pay close attention to how the virus can be contained - because not everyone can be vaccinated immediately.

Update from 1:22 p.m.:

Not only the economy needs support,

says

Health Minister Melanie Huml.

This is also important in care.

A

rescue package for day care facilities

in the amount of 50 million euros was decided.

"It is so important that we really all (...) have this patience that the measures can take effect," explains the CSU politician with a view to the partial lockdown and also refers to the

Berchtesgadener Land

, where the numbers have gone “noticeably down”.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Aiwanger announces extension of financial aid

Update from 1:17 p.m

.: Aiwanger talks about the financial aid for the companies affected by the lockdown.

The Free State does not want to leave

regions that are already before the

partial lockdown

.

Aiwanger would like to find a "Bavarian solution" and support the regions.

"We hope to be able to compensate quickly there too."

Aiwanger announced that financial aid will be extended until the middle of next year.

For example, it is also about instant loans.

According to the Minister of Economics #Aiwanger, the financial aid in #Bavaria like instant loans will be extended "until the middle of next year" #CSU #State Government #Corona

Coronavirus in Bavaria: "Will this lockdown be extended into December?"

Update from 1:12 p.m .:

“Discipline instead of fear and panic”,

says

Minister of Economics Hubert Aiwanger.

"We have been confronted with this issue since spring this year and are looking for the best solutions".

One has to keep discussing: “Will this

lockdown be extended

into December?” He hopes that this is not necessary, but hopes that people can rely on their own responsibility and, for example, reduce contacts on their own initiative.

Update from 1:05 p.m

.: The test strategy works, explains Herrmann.

At the same time, however, it is also the case that the number of tests has increased due to the increasing numbers.

The capacities are used significantly more.

“We take

laboratory concerns

very seriously”.

It was therefore decided not to “rush to change direction.” There should be an evaluation where there are bottlenecks.

Take the advice very seriously.

Individual laboratories may be overloaded, but the problem may not even exist across the board.

One does not want to fully implement the new findings of the RKI.

Accordingly, people with symptoms should be self-quarantined for a few days, but should only be tested if two

symptoms

are present.

One does not want to implement this, because it would lead to uncertainty in the population.

In addition, "it also leads to failures in the economy" when a large number of people want to stay at home at once.

As before, the appeal: If you have been in contact with someone, you should be tested, but of course the free tests should not be used.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: "The situation is still very serious"

Update from 1:03 p.m

.: State Chancellor Florian Herrmann has the floor.

“The situation is still very serious.

The situation remains worrying, ”he explains.

There were almost 3,000 new infections in the Free State, plus 38 additional deaths.

In the bed situation you can feel an

increasing occupancy

.

The measures that have been taken must therefore now be implemented consistently.

The incidence values ​​in Berchtesgadener Land and in the Rottal-Inn district would decrease, which shows that lockdowns are working.

Next week there will be another prime ministerial conference, so today “no new measures were taken”, said Herrmann.

Update from 1 p.m.:

The press conference begins.

Update from November 10th, 12.45 p.m.:

The press conference is to begin in 15 minutes after the session of the Bavarian state parliament.

You can follow them here in the live ticker and stream.

Any easing will probably not be announced, according to Prime Minister Söder there is no reason for it.

Are there maybe even stricter rules instead?

Already yesterday, Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin is said to have spoken about tightening the measures about the explosive infection situation in the entire Federal Republic *, as 

ntv.de

 reported.

The station quoted Chancellor 

Angela Merkel as

 follows: “

 We don't need to talk

about 

easing

.

We may 

even have to add more

. "

. @ Markus_Soeder: Nowhere in Bavaria is there any reason to discuss easing.

Anyone who loosens up now has to give an answer on how else he can guarantee safety.

#Corona

- CSU (@CSU) November 9, 2020

Update from November 10th, 11.49 a.m.:

The Bavarian cabinet is currently in

session

.

There should be a

press conference

on

this at 12.30 p.m.

This will now start at 1 p.m. instead.

Apparently, Prime Minister Markus Söder is not there after all; instead, State Chancellery

Florian Herrmann will

talk about the results of the cabinet meeting with Melanie Huml, Hubert Aiwanger and Michael Piazolo.

The press conference is available here in the live stream and ticker.

Söder rejects RKI recommendation for corona tests: Bavarian cabinet meets - what does the CSU boss announce afterwards?

First report from November 10th, 9:17 a.m .:

Munich - The Bavarian cabinet will meet on Tuesday (November 10th, 10 a.m.), again the corona virus * is the dominant topic.

The meeting will focus on the Corona * test strategy and the

disbursement of aid funds

for the industries affected by the current

partial lockdown

.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Söder is against the RKI recommendation for corona tests

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * had already declared on Monday that he was

against

the latest recommendations from the

Robert Koch Institute (RKI)

 for the

corona tests

.

The RKI * had recommended a significant restriction of corona tests due to the overloading of the test laboratories in many places.

According to this, people with symptoms of the disease * should only be tested if the condition

has not improved

even after several days of

self

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Söder wants to stick to the test strategy: "If someone has symptoms ..."

The CSU boss criticized the fact that this

massively paralyzed

the

economy

, since employees were absent and the lack of tests also endangered people's safety.

Söder announced that he would like to keep the previous strategy for Bavaria with free tests for people without symptoms.

He also wants to make greater use of the new rapid tests *.

At the same time, however, it should also be ensured that

the tests

are not being

misused

because some people have themselves tested several times a week.

But he made it clear: "If someone

feels

symptoms

, they must be able to get tested."

Söder also sees a need for action

with the

corona aid payments to companies

that are affected by the current partial lockdown.

This applies to

hotels or restaurants

, for example

.

For example, those affected in the regions would also have to be taken into account, who had to

close their shops

before the nationwide

lockdown

on November 2nd

due to the high number of cases

.

Söder cited the Berchtesgadener Land and Rottal-Inn regions as examples.

In general, it must be considered how the payments could be accelerated overall.

Corona virus in Bavaria: Söder press conference is imminent - also Aiwanger, Huml and Piazolo

Prime Minister Markus Söder, Minister of Economics Hubert Aiwanger, Minister of Health Melanie Huml and Minister of Education Michael Piazolo will provide information about the results of the meeting at a

press conference

.

You can follow them in the live stream and ticker at 12.30 p.m. here.

It is unclear whether Söder also

comments

on the corona dispute with

Dieter Reiter

(SPD).

Munich's mayor had voiced loud criticism.

The SPD politician had previously abolished the mask requirement for primary school students in Munich, but the Ministry of Health intervened.

Reiter was not happy with that: “I - and many parents and students with me - am 

more than just disappointed

 with this decision.

The Munich exception regulation was a real relief for our elementary school students and their parents in these difficult times and was well-founded from an infectious point of view.

That is why the Ministry of Health supported it.

But I have absolutely no understanding for the fact that the

compromise

I had agreed with the state government at the highest level on Friday 

evening was simply terminated on Sunday evening

 without the factual situation having changed. ”
