Munich - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) had recently indicated a stricter course in the fight against the corona virus *.
Is everything going very quickly now?
Corona situation in Bavaria is worsening: Söder calls cabinet together - are stricter rules coming?
Because of the worsening Corona * situation in the Free State,
Söder
has called
his cabinet together for a
special meeting
on Sunday
.
At 12 o'clock, the Council of Ministers will by, according to the State Chancellery
Video Switch
discuss "further measures".
Specifically, this should
mean
further
tightening
in the fight against the corona pandemic *.
In the past few days, Söder had repeatedly indicated that he considered a tougher course to be necessary due to the increasing number of new infections *.
During his visit to the Corona * hotspot Passau, he said that the
extension of the partial lockdown
that was decided this week was
not enough to sustainably reduce the number of new infections.
The exponential growth that was still there in October has now stopped - but the numbers will continue to rise.
The Bavarian government is also concerned about the uncontrolled outbreak in hotspots such as Passau * or Nuremberg. *
Corona in Bavaria: Söder expresses doubts about easing for Christmas and New Year's Eve
In this context, Söder spoke of "improvements" and publicly expressed doubts that the
easing of the contact requirements
that had been planned for the period between
Christmas and New Year was
still justified in the current infection situation.
"If the numbers stay that way, it will also be clear that, for example, on New Year's Eve, the number of contacts will also have to be reduced." According to reports, however, the easing over the Christmas period will continue to be maintained.
The CSU * boss has repeatedly made
hints
in the past few days
that indicate that he - unlike his coalition partner Free Voters - prefers significantly stricter rules.
The country could "not be put to sleep forever," he said.
Corona in Germany: Federal and state governments decide to extend the partial lockdown

For the period from December 23rd to January 1st “at the longest” it was previously planned to allow meetings “with close family and friends” up to a maximum of ten people, whereby children up to 14 years of age should not be counted.
New Year's Eve fireworks are to be avoided, and “the use of pyrotechnics is prohibited in busy squares and streets”.
You can find an overview of the applicable rules in our overview. *
The lockdown will be extended until January 10th.
The situation is very serious.
We have to stay consistent and sharpen the hotspots - with alternating lessons, exit restrictions, protection of nursing homes and series tests.
The numbers must now drop significantly.

Exactly where
Bavaria
wants to tighten its course is open.
Tougher steps in schools and in retail, but also greater exit restrictions would be conceivable.
