Update from December 1, 6.49 p.m.:

The

corona infection

numbers

in the Franconian metropolis of Nuremberg, its neighboring city of Schwabach and in other Bavarian regions have risen to heights that were barely imaginable a short time ago.

(See update from December 1, 11:17 a.m.)

Corona in Bavaria: Strict exit restrictions in Nuremberg - several districts are following suit

Nuremberg was the first major city in the Free State to

impose

additional strict

exit


restrictions

in the partial lockdown

.

“We also have the problem that we cannot find a hotspot at this point,” said Mayor Marcus König, justifying the strict regulations.

"We tend to have a diffuse infection process here in our city."

Because of their high number of

corona infections

, the districts of Passau (346.7), Regen (356.0), Freyung-Grafenau (391.4) and the independent city of Schwabach (344.1) are following suit.

In the affected districts and in the city of Passau, the same

corona regulations

largely apply to hospitals, old people's and nursing homes and schools

.

For example, a weekly corona rapid test is now mandatory for employees in homes.

And exercising is only allowed outside alone, with people from your own household or another person from another household.

Update from December 1, 1:20 p.m.:

The

Bavarian cabinet

met on Tuesday for its regular meeting in Munich.

Today's date was primarily about the

Corona situation in the Free State

.

Afterwards, State Chancellery boss

Florian Herrmann

(CSU) and Minister of Health

Melanie Huml

(CSU) held a press conference.

"The situation in Bavaria is still worrying,"

Herrmann

opened

his speech.

Only the

exponential growth

has since stopped.

The number of cases is still at a high level.

Numerous people continue to die of

Covid-19

.

"Every half an hour in Bavaria someone dies of the

corona virus,

" the minister made clear.

Therefore, the focus of the

state government is

particularly on

protecting

risk groups

.

This should

happen

especially in

retirement homes

.

Rapid

tests

and

FFP2 masks

for visitors will soon be part of the standard equipment here,

Herrmann

continues.

And the

head of the State Chancellery also made it clear again

on the subject of small

border traffic

.

You cannot prevent people from

going

skiing

to Austria or Switzerland.

But he once again urged everyone to consider whether trips abroad are currently necessary.

"It now depends on the solidarity of the citizens."

Health Minister

Huml

has not yet been

able to

say

when

a vaccine will be

available

in

Bavaria

.

The possible drugs are still in the

approval

phase

.

“The licensing authorities don't have to start from scratch,” the minister added.

During the test phase in the past few months, interim results were repeatedly checked.

It should therefore not be too long before vaccinations can be given.

But there will be

no

compulsory vaccination

, stressed Huml again.

Corona in Bavaria: Nuremberg decides to restrict exit

Update from December 1, 11:17 a.m.:

In addition to

Passau

,

Nuremberg

, the next big city in

Bavaria

, has an

incidence

value of over 300 (306.7).

In order to curb the infection, new measures are to be introduced in the city area with immediate effect.

In a press conference on Tuesday morning, the

Lord Mayor of Nuremberg, Macus König

(CSU),

informed

what the general

decree on combating

the pandemic contained.

In

Nuremberg

there is now also an

exit restriction

.

You can only leave the house for a valid reason.

"Please stay at home wherever possible and do it alone," said the mayor.

Starting next Monday,

school classes

from the 5th grade will also be divided

in the Franconian metropolis

.

There is no physical education.

There is also a

ban

on

alcohol

in the city center and public places.

To-go drinks with alcohol are prohibited.

Visits to retirement homes

should still be allowed.

However, only with a negative rapid test and an FFP2 mask.

The

general

decree will initially apply until December 20th.

“We want to have better numbers on Christmas,” said

König

.

The measures should also be strictly

controlled

by the

police

- especially in the city center.

"We want to

save human lives

here in

Nuremberg

," the mayor continued.

The hospitals were already filling up rapidly.

This was also confirmed by

health officer Britta Walthelm

.

"The situation in the

Nuremberg clinics

is tense." The new measures are important to relieve the hospitals.

32 patients are currently ventilated in intensive care units.

According to the speaker, the newly adopted rules can only be repealed if

the

7-day incidence value

in

Nuremberg

falls below the 300 mark for at least one week at a time.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: There is a risk of curfews from a 7-day incidence of 300

Update from December 1, 6.23 a.m.:

In order

to be able to take better

action against the still greatly increased

number of cases

in the

corona pandemic

, local

exit

restrictions

should

apply

in Bavaria in the future

if the value of the

7-day incidence

exceeds the mark of 300 newly infected people Exceeds 100,000 inhabitants.

This

measure

, which is provided for in the ninth edition of the ninth

Infection

Protection

Ordinance

for the

Free State

, is intended to help bring the numbers back to a significantly lower level.

The new measures currently affect four municipalities.

The city of Passau and the associated district as well as the city of Nuremberg and the district of Regen.

The

total

incidence for Bavaria is 175.1.

(As of November 30th).

Corona in Bavaria: Local exit restrictions possible - Söder warns of further measures

"Due to the current

infection

situation,

we have

sharpened it again: From an

incidence

of 300, the responsible


district administrative

authority must act

in agreement with the respective government and take a series of stricter measures," said State Secretary for Health Klaus Holetschek (CSU) of the German Press Agency Munich.

In addition to exit

restrictions

, a

ban

on

alcohol

in public places and

alternating lessons

in schools (with an incidence of more than 200), other service providers can also be

affected

by

closings

.

The new regulation is much stricter than the previous one.

It is now valid, with reservation, until December 20th.

Over the

holidays

, the

rules

in the Free State, as in the rest of the Federal Republic, are

relaxed somewhat.

However, Prime Minister Söder

had already announced that he would

not rule out

tougher measures

should the number of cases remain at this high level by mid-December.

Before

Christmas

, the state government wants to decide how to proceed in the New Year based on the number of cases.

Update from November 30th, 7.12 p.m.:

Because the

corona situation

in

Passau,

Lower Bavaria, is

still precarious, Lord Mayor

Jürgen Dupper

(SPD) gave a press conference on Monday evening.

"We still have

a very stressful situation

in

Passau,

" the mayor began his speech.

A

curfew

and various other rules have

been in effect in the three rivers city since last Friday (November 27)

.

The aim is to try to come down from the current

incidence of

579.5

.

With this value, the city is currently at the top in Germany.

For the time being, the numbers rose again because

series tests were carried out on the weekend

, especially in

retirement homes

,

continued

Dupper

.

"The situation in two homes is very dramatic." A total of four residents have already died of

Covid-19

.

There are a total of 390 active cases in the city, the OB continued.

Originally it was planned to keep the stricter rules up to December 4th.

A relief is hardly imaginable due to the current development, so

Dupper

.

The

city's crisis team will

meet

again

on Thursday

to discuss the

pandemic situation

.

"It looks like the measures are being extended for good reason," said the town hall chief.

Dupper

also made a request to the

state government

.

In addition to the

Corona aid

for the hotel and restaurant industry and for cultural businesses, there should

also be aid for retailers

in special

hotspot regions such as Passau

.

Since

shopping is restricted

due to the

curfew

, many shops suffer from greater losses in sales.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Abitur exams are postponed

Update from November 30, 4:21 p.m.:

The

corona crisis is

already casting

a shadow over the coming year.

In Munich, Bavaria's

Minister of Culture Michael Piazolo

(FW) announced that the Abitur exams will be postponed by 14 days.

They will now take place on May 12, 2021.

"We want all high school graduates to find fair conditions - in the exams themselves and in preparation."

“The

grammar schools

start their final exams earlier than the other types of schools.

That is why

quarantine

measures

and longer phases with

distance teaching are

particularly noticeable

in the Abitur

classes

and can lead to deadline pressure, ”emphasized

Piazolo

.

In order to provide relief here, the exam date has been postponed.

If the

infection

situation worsens further, the

final exams

could be postponed again.

Then the other types of schools could also be affected.

Update from November 30th, 2 p.m.:

Passau

has reached another

corona high

: With a

seven-day incidence

of 579.5, the Lower Bavarian city has currently developed into the

number 1 corona hotspot

in Germany.

The nationwide top runner, the district of Hildburghausen in Thuringia, is just behind.

According to the RKI, the seven-day incidence here was 579.1.

(You can read more about this in our Passau ticker.)

Passau: City is developing into the number 1 corona hotspot in Germany

According to

BR,

all those who tested positive are

in

isolation

.

Since the results of the serial tests are still pending, it cannot be ruled out that the number of infected people will continue to rise.

Today, Monday, Economics Minister

Hubert Aiwanger

(Free Voters) and Gerhard Stadler, District President of Lower Bavaria of the Bavarian Farmers' Association (BBV),

want to find out

about the situation

on site

.

According to the ministry, the

closure will worsen

the tense situation for the pig market in the

Free State

.

In addition, the closure of

slaughterhouses increases

the backlog of pig slaughtering.  

Corona: Bavaria's super hotspot now with the highest incidence value in Germany

Update from November 30, 8:05 a.m.:

The

7-day incidence

in the Bavarian

corona hotspot Passau has

increased again.

The

Robert Koch Institute

now gives this as

576.9

(as of November 30,

00:00

a.m.).

Thus, the city of Passau also leaves the Thuringian district of Hildburghausen behind and now has the

highest

7-day incidence in

Germany

.

There has been a strict

curfew

in the city since Saturday

.

The apartment may only be left with a valid reason.

Update from November 29th, 10:23 p.m.:

Bavaria's Prime Minister

Markus Söder

has criticized the fact that some citizens repeatedly looked for loopholes in the applicable regulations in the corona pandemic.

"My impression is that a lot of people are always looking for a loophole, for a parallel discussion," said the CSU boss on Sunday evening on the

ARD program "Anne Will"

.

"If we now concentrate on how we can lower the numbers as best as possible and apply it as consistently as we can, then I think

Christmas will be relaxed

." New Year's Eve and skiing activities caused him more worry than Christmas anyway.

Corona: Söder on "Anne Will" (ARD): Tightening is possible

In the next two weeks we will see how the numbers develop.

A partial all-clear could be given.

There is no longer any exponential upward growth.

Conversely, however, there is also no downward movement.

"In the next two weeks we will have to do another update on how we stand, and in

case of doubt,

make

extending and deepening

more in-depth

."

Update from November 29th, 6:50 p.m.:

The

Marburger Bund

, the association of employed and civil servant doctors in Germany, in Bavaria

is sounding the alarm

.

The increasing number of corona cases is bringing the hospitals in Bavaria to their limit.

The association derives this from its own survey, as

BR24

reports.

According to the survey, more than half of

clinicians

stated that they had to

restrict

other treatments

due to the large number of

corona patients

.

The phased plan for hospital care announced by the state government must be implemented.

It also states that the

standard care

can no longer be maintained if the

number of cases

does not decrease.

Update of 29 November, 9:25:

In the Lower Bavarian university town of

Passau

is

7-day incidence value

of

Corona infections

with the numbers update at midnight (November 29th) to

537.8

risen infections per 100,000 inhabitants.

Passau is now also

"pink"

on the

hotspot map

.

The Robert Koch Institute (

RKI

) introduced the new color a few days ago, for

regions

where the value rises to over 500.

Now only the district of Hildburghausen in the south of Thuringia has an even higher

incidence value of

579.1

.

Corona in Bavaria: Passau now "pink" - extreme increase in infection not yet to be explained

On Saturday the value in Passau was 440.

Where the sudden

sharp increase

comes from is currently unclear, as the Passauer Neue Presse (PNP) reports.

The

district

belonging to Passau

is also one of the

Corona hotspots

throughout Bavaria and Germany

.

The current incidence

value there is 378.9.

The corona situation in Passau has been barely

controllable

for a few days

.

A strict

curfew

had

therefore already been

imposed in the city.

It has been in effect since yesterday, Saturday (November 28th).

Residents are now only allowed

to

leave

their homes with

good reason

.

Initial report from November 28, 2020: Munich

- The

corona situation in Bavaria

has

barely relaxed

after the four-week

partial lockdown

in November.

The number of cases no longer increases exponentially, but remains at a high level.

Therefore, at a meeting of the heads of state with the Chancellor in Berlin, an agreement was reached

to extend

the

measures until Christmas

.

In addition, further tightening was decided - especially for cities and counties with very high

incidence values

.

The

Lower Bavarian city of Passau * is one of

these

so-called

super hotspots

.

Corona in Bavaria: Exit restrictions have been in effect in Passau since Saturday

On Friday (November 27), Passau's Lord Mayor

Jürgen Dupper

(SPD) appeared in public to talk about the high number of Corona * cases in his city.

As the

Passauer Neue Presse

reports, he started his speech with a little gallows humor.

“We actually like to be at the front in

Bavaria

, this time we can't be proud of it, of course.” What was meant was the high

7-day incidence value

.

According to the

Robert Koch Institute

(RKI), it is 439.4 (as of November 28, 12 a.m.).

This puts the three-river city in second place in Germany - behind the Thuringian district of Hildburghausen (595).

In order to

further contain

the

Corona *

infection

in Passau *, special restrictions apply from Saturday (November 28).

One of the rules enacted in a general decree is an

exit restriction

.

"Leaving the apartment is only allowed with a valid reason," said

OB Dupper

.

That means: going to the doctor, buying groceries and visiting relatives are allowed, but must be plausible and understandable.

The police * should also check this.

In addition, from the 7th grade onwards, students take

alternating lessons

(with the exception of the final

classes

).

These and many other measures should initially apply until Friday, December 4th.

If the

corona incidence has

not fallen to at least 300

by then

, the restrictions will be extended, said

Dupper

.

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Söder irritates with Trump comparison and condemns lateral thinkers

On Friday,

Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder

(CSU)

defended

the extension of the

corona measures

in a government statement * before the

Bavarian state parliament

.

With the words “extend, deepen, help”, the country manager summarized the coming period up to December 20th.

He

didn't have any good news,

especially for the

ski tourism industry

.

Mountain railways and lifts should remain closed for the time being.

“Ischgl is not forgotten,” says Söder.

And

New Year's Eve

should also be celebrated with caution.

“No big parties,” demands the 

CSU boss

.

In his speech,

Söder

also referred to the lateral thinker Jana from Kassel, who

compared

herself to

Sophie Scholl

in a speech a few days ago

.

Such a comparison is outrageous and embarrassing, the head of the country condemned the statements of the woman.

In general, the

lateral thinking movement is

a "toxic concoction of fake news, hatred, fear and intolerance".

However,

Söder

caused a brief irritation

with a Trump comparison *.

When it came to the new

mask requirement in parking lots

, he said: "Even Donald Trump * wears a mask from time to time, one or the other could take an example."

You can now exactly

which

corona rules apply

until the Christmas holidays read in our overview article *.
