The states will probably soon agree with the federal government to keep the restaurants and leisure facilities closed for the whole of Advent.

Corona solos and corona company holidays are also under discussion.

Munich

- The stade time should be much quieter this year.

The countries are planning a

corona lockdown extension until at least December 20

.

This emerges from the eight-page SPD draft for a

joint position paper

that has been circulating since Sunday evening and is available to our editorial team.

And that is not necessarily the end: The

corona measures

are

to be extended by two weeks each time

if the seven-day incidence does not drop below 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants.

Corona summit is approaching: Country plan is probably in place - no loosening, stricter contact rules

The new country paper with the silent Advent is not yet a consensus, but a result of the numerous

telephone conferences

across all the state capitals on the weekend.

The state chancellery ministers and senior officials, led by

Berlin-based Michael Müller (SPD),

tried to come to an agreement more thoroughly than in the previous week.

Between today and Wednesday, the crucial meetings between the Prime Minister and

Chancellor Angela Merkel are due

in

quick succession

to determine the details.

The planned Corona rules for Christmas and New Year's Eve

Planning status:

easing there should be no

, but

no closures in the trade

.

In December, the

contact limit will

probably even be tightened.

So far: a maximum of ten people from two households;

In the future, this should be limited to

five adults / adolescents from two households

.

That sounds like little change, but it would mean a limitation for larger families.

Exceptions for households are planned for Christmas, but not yet determined.

Stricter

corona rules

and a firecracker ban are due on New Year's Eve.

Söder's proposal decisive in the lockdown paper?

CSU boss wants "no back and forth" anymore

"The fact is that we are not yet as far as we would like to have come," said Merkel on Sunday evening.

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) said that if you lose patience, "everything will start all over again and in the end we will end up with even tougher measures than now in the Czech Republic or Austria".

It will be a very quiet Advent.

Partial lockdown until at least December 20, further restricting contacts: From the draft for the country round with Merkel.

The SPD details are not coordinated with Söder.

But:

December 20

should

go back to

Söder's suggestion

, which was already mentioned as an option in a submission from his State Chancellery.

A longer-term concept is needed, "no back and forth, no back and forth" that unsettles people at least as much as

Corona

itself, said Söder.

Christmas should be “freer”, “for New Year's Eve more consistent” and with a firecracker ban, at least in larger places.

Further Corona measures: Corona company holidays and Corona solos

According to the SPD plan, companies should order

Corona company

holidays or "generous home office solutions"

from December 21 to January 3

.

This should enable the “Stay at Home” principle to be implemented more effectively.

But not only

corona company holidays

are planned according to the SPD.

A

corona solos is also being

discussed in order to support the health insurance companies or to prevent the increase in health insurance contributions.

The money should go directly to the health insurance companies.

Corona measures in Germany: Lockdown could be partially "regionalized" - lack of clarity in schools

Part of the

lockdown is to be regionalized

.

If a country

reaches

an

incidence below 35

before December 20,

easing should be allowed there.

Whether there should be such a model for

rural districts

and whether 35 really will be the decisive number (or 50) is being discussed today.

The

countries also remain vague

in the

schools

- hybrid lessons (i.e. changing models and digital lessons) are to be regulated on a country-specific basis.

For Bavaria, Söder indicated in the evening that from the seventh grade in hotspots onwards, they would rely on changing models.

He is also promoting

longer vacations in January

- in

Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg

until January 10, anyway longer than in other countries.

Nationwide, infected students and their surroundings

should be

quarantined

for five days

.

A quick test can then end the quarantine.

This formulation is much softer than the Bavarian practice of leaving entire classes at home.

Apparently, several prime ministers slowed down

behind the scenes

.

Information is already seeping through.
