According to Prime Minister Markus Söder, the corona numbers are still too high.
The partial lockdown has therefore been extended - and even tightened slightly.
On Wednesday (November 25th) the country leaders and Chancellor Angela Merkel decided to extend the partial lockdown.
Due to the high corona numbers, this was even tightened slightly for Bavaria.

Munich -
Germany has
been in
partial lockdown
since November 2,
due to rising corona numbers
.
The numbers are still too high.
That is why the country leaders met with Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday (November 25) about how to proceed in the corona crisis.
On Thursday, the Bavarian cabinet decided to implement it for the Free State.
Basically, the partial lockdown has been extended and even tightened slightly.
An overview.
Corona in Bavaria: rules for Christmas known - Söder does not rule out tightening for New Year's Eve
Contact restrictions:
The same rule applies to private contacts as in the
federal-state agreement
on Wednesday: "Private gatherings" are limited to your own household and to one other household, but in any case to a maximum of five people, excluding children up to 14 years.
So far, Bavaria has been restricted to two households with a maximum of ten people, but including children.
Christmas and
New Year's Eve
:
Families and close friends should be able to
celebrate Christmas and most likely New Year's Eve
together
.
Because from December 23rd to January 1st “at the longest” meetings “with close
family and friends
” should be possible, up to a maximum of ten people in total, excluding children up to 14 years.
But what does “longest” mean?
When asked
,
Prime Minister Söder
did not rule out that stricter regulations could apply again on New Year's Eve.
"There will be an update in mid-December," he announced.
"We will then see whether everything stays that way - according to the current status I would say: Yes." This corresponds more to the "reality of life" on New Year's Eve itself.
New Year's Eve fireworks are to be avoided, and “the use of pyrotechnics is prohibited in busy squares and streets”.
Corona lockdown extended: These rules apply to gastronomy and culture in Bavaria
Gastronomy and culture:
Leisure and cultural facilities of all kinds as well as the gastronomy must initially remain closed until at least December 20th, whereby an
extension
over the turn of the year is highly likely, but cannot yet be legally implemented.
"The state government assumes that, due to the high level of infection, extensive restrictions will be necessary by the beginning of January (especially in the catering and hotels sector)," the cabinet decision said on Thursday.
Events
are therefore prohibited, and tourist
accommodation is
prohibited.
Corona lockdown in Bavaria: new rules for universities, libraries and retailers
Universities, colleges and libraries:
What is new: In Bavaria,
libraries and archives
(with the exception of university
libraries
)
must now also
close, as well as adult education centers and comparable offers (exception: digital offers).
Colleges and universities should generally switch to digital teaching, with exceptions, for example, for laboratory activities or exams.
Retail:
There are now additional requirements regarding the maximum number of customers.
In addition, it will be
mandatory to wear a mask in
front of shops and in parking lots
.
Beue Corona rules in Bavaria: Quarantine obligation for winter sports enthusiasts and ski vacationers
Ski
tourism:
For winter sports enthusiasts and day tourists who travel - even if only briefly - to a corona risk area abroad, strict
rules apply
: In future, they must be in
quarantine
in Bavaria
.
An exception for stays shorter than 24 hours should only apply if there are valid reasons, in particular work, school, visits to the doctor, family affairs and everyday business.
Even on
day trips just for skiing
, the normal quarantine obligation terminates, as Prime Minister Markus Söder said.
These and other tightenings should apply from December 1st.
