In Munich, the latest corona numbers do not yet promise a trend reversal.

CSU boss Markus Söder has now made a clear statement about possible lockdown tightening.

  • Munich is in a "lockdown light".

  • The city's incidence has recently continued to rise.

  • Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has now commented on the end of the lockdown, among other things.

Update from November 16, 4:17 p.m.:

Chancellor Angela

Merkel

plans

to adapt

the current

lockdown rules

at today's

Corona summit

with the country

leaders

- not without facing headwind.

In our news ticker we inform you about the further development.

Update from November 15, 11.30 a.m.:

 In Germany, the

"Lockdown Light"

has been in place for around two weeks 

, which the Prime Minister decided together with 

Chancellor Merkel (CDU)

 to control the sudden sharp rise in the number of 

infections

 with the 

corona

virus

 in the Federal Republic to become.

The next

crisis summit of

 the Prime Ministers and the Chancellor will

 take place

via 

video

on Monday (November 16) 

.

Among other things, it will be discussed there whether the previous 

measures have been

 successful or sufficient to change the situation.

In advance several managers and experts had a possible earlier 

easing

 the 

corona restrictions

 a

 rejection

 issued because the infection levels have decreased significantly since almost the beginning of the lockdown.

Corona in Bavaria: Prime Minister Söder rules out easing the measures

Bavaria's

 Prime Minister

Markus Söder (CSU) 

went a step further in an interview with Bild am Sonntag.

There the 53-year-old said: “We have to consider whether the previous measures are sufficient.

We need uniform rules for everyone and must not confuse the population on a daily basis. ”With a view to the neighboring European country Italy, where a government ban was issued last week 

 to celebrate

Christmas

with the extensive family, as is customary in Italy, warned Söder even insists on possible early loosening.

“There is absolutely 

no scope for relaxation

.

If you loosen up too early, you risk Christmas. "

Corona numbers continue to rise in Bavaria: Markus Söder names a big goal - there is hope

Söder definitely does not see any more vacation trips or the like this year.

“Our big 

goal

 shouldn't be“ Where can you go on holiday for Christmas ”but“ Who can I be with for Christmas. ”The ultimate goal, including

 those in power

, is“ as much

 family

as possible ”.

In order for this to succeed, however, the

 population 

must also

cooperate.

What 

tightening

 Söder considers possible should the number of

 infections

 still not finally fall, the Prime Minister did not want to give a clear answer.

During the Lockdown Light, the government actually only exempted retailers, schools and daycare centers from the measures.

A tightening of the measures would, as in 

Austria

, almost be equivalent to a hard lockdown from the spring.

First report from November 14th

Munich - For almost two weeks

, the “

lockdown light

” has been in

effect

in the

Bavarian capital

, as in the entire state

.

The measures taken are intended to achieve one thing above all:

reducing contacts

.

Chancellor

Angela Merkel

(CDU) recently commented on the specific

target

for November and stressed that an

end to the measures would

only be possible if the

incidence was 50

.

In Munich * this is currently 214.9 * (as of November 13).

This means that the “

Merkel reference value

” is still a

long way off

in the metropolis on the Isar

.

CSU boss Markus

Söder

has

now

answered questions from the community

on the “

Jodel

platform

.

Including those who are dealing with the

end of the Corona crisis

.

Corona lockdown: when will the measures end?

Söder gives a clear answer

Many people received the news about the vaccine progress from

Biontech

with great pleasure.

Some even associate this with the

hope that

the Corona crisis will

end soon

.

Markus

Söder

has now

slowed

this down a bit

: “Until everything is delivered, it will certainly be until March.

It will

certainly take longer

until a large part of a risk group is actually vaccinated

.

It will take a while - the measures are

not expected to

end when the vaccinations begin,

”said Söder on“ Jodel ”.

Many users were also moved by the question of the upcoming

Christmas and New Year's Eve

.

The question, according to Markus Söder, is whether the current

measures are having an effect

.

One will sit down and find out whether one should "

extend or even tighten"

the measures

, said Söder.

But one thing can already be said with certainty: "

New Year's Eve

, these will probably be

very small parties

," said the CSU boss.

Until when will the corona lockdown go?

Söder gives an outlook - and gives little hope

One question that everyone asks with great longing is that of the

final end of the Corona crisis

and its measures.

“Exciting question,” says Söder.

“Many already called out everything in the summer - it caught up.

The vaccine is the best we have.

Corona will never go away, but we can live much more freely, the vaccine can help us a lot.

To say

when this is one hundred percent

would

not be serious

.

At the moment we have to see that we get down from the numbers. "

Munich

residents are likely to

be less happy

with this statement

.

An end to the measures seems a long way off.

But hopes for timely relief, especially thanks to the

vaccine

, should remain.
