The vaccinations against the coronavirus have started.
The number of infections is still high.
Prime Minister Söder now spoke about easing the measures soon.
Germany is in the Corona * lockdown.
A Bavarian city is now pulling the rip cord due to the high number of infections (see update from December 31, 7:54 a.m.).
Here we offer you the current case numbers in Bavaria in a map *.
This ticker is updated regularly.
Update from January 1st, 9:39 p.m.:
Bavaria continues to deliver shocking corona numbers.
For example the district of Passau: According to data from DBVIS, the incidence value there has
risen
to
436.36
over
the past seven days
.
In the last seven days, 26 people have died of Corona and
838 people have contracted the virus
.
In
the last 24 hours
alone
, 194 people tested positive for Covid-19
.
The numbers are increasing rapidly.
Update from January 1st, 3:05 p.m.:
The number of people who
tested positive
for the
coronavirus
in
Bavaria rose
by
3743 new infections
on
New Year's Day
.
This was announced by the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) in Erlangen.
On Friday last week, also a
public holiday
, 2,758 cases were reported.
The number of
deaths
rose by 52 to 6,766 in 24 hours.
Corona in Bavaria: Despite public holidays and fewer tests, increasing numbers of new infections
The number of
new corona infections
in the past seven days per 100,000 inhabitants is
166.21
according to LGL information in Bavaria
.
The LGL has counted
328,755 detected infections with
Sars-CoV-2
in Bavaria
since the beginning of the
pandemic
(as of 01.01., 8.00 a.m.).
However, the
Robert Koch Institute
again pointed out that fewer people were tested and fewer data were transmitted during the holidays and around the turn of the year.
A precise
analysis of
current numbers is
therefore
difficult.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder urges patience - and refers to a promising vaccine
Prime Minister Markus Söder
(CSU) meanwhile called on all residents of the
Free State
to be patient, considerate and disciplined.
"Corona is the test of our generation," said the
CSU boss
in his New Year's address.
But he is sure that it will be possible
to overcome
the
corona pandemic
.
The approval of the
Biontech vaccine
developed in Mainz
gives hope for
normality.
This is trustworthy and safe, promised Söder and asked the population "not to believe the fake news that is constantly haunted the net".
Update from January 1st, 2021, 9.00 a.m.: In
a conversation with the German Press Agency,
Prime Minister
Markus Söder (CSU)
put
a damper
on
the
hopes of
many people that
the lockdown will end
soon
.
He was very skeptical of
holding out the
prospect of
openings
from January 10th
, said Bavaria's
Prime Minister
with regard to the rapid
relaxation of
the current
Corona measures
.
"We now simply have to reduce the numbers sustainably," said Söder.
The corona lockdown will end soon: Prime Minister Söder (CSU) puts a damper on hopes
On January 5th (Tuesday) the Prime Ministers of all countries want to
discuss the currently applicable hard lockdown
together with
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU)
.
Söder continues to demand determination and
unity of the country leaders
in the fight against the global
corona pandemic
.
“If we weren't able to decide out of fear, we would have missed our mission.
The point now is not to find the most convenient solution, but the most effective one. "
Söder appeals to perseverance in the fight against Corona: "Many are looking for loopholes"
The agreed goal of the current lockdown is to reduce the number of
new infections
per 100,000 inhabitants to below 50 within seven days.
Germany is still a long way from achieving this goal.
Overall, the
seven-day incidence is
currently an average of 140, in Bavaria even 163 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2020, 12:00 a.m.).
Söder again appealed to the population to support the
measures
for a while longer.
The vast majority go along well, but "many are looking for loopholes instead of protecting together," said the Prime Minister.
This lack of insight also led
to some police operations on
New Year's Eve
to break up
illegal New Year celebrations
.
Coronavirus in Bavaria: number of vaccinations almost doubled
Update December 31, 14:06:
Approximately 32,000 people in
Bavaria
have so far against the
coronavirus
get vaccinated.
Health Minister Melanie Huml (CSU) said
that the number of
vaccinations has
almost doubled
within a very short time
.
Around 102,000 vaccine doses had been delivered to Bavaria by Wednesday afternoon.
This means that more than 50,000 people could now be vaccinated.
To be fully vaccinated, everyone has to be vaccinated twice.
Update from December 31, 11.44 a.m.:
The Corona year 2020 is coming to an end, but Markus Söder is preparing Bavaria for a difficult 2021.
In his New Year's address, the CSU boss also gives hope. *
Update from December 31st, 7.54 a.m
.: Coburg pulls the
rip
cord.
Because of the increasing
corona numbers
, the city is "forced to tighten the corona regulations even further," according to a press release.
These apply from Thursday (December 31).
"The district is sticking to the old, looser rules, since the incidence figures are significantly lower there," it continues.
According to the new rules, households in the city of Coburg will “in future only be allowed to receive visitors from one specific other household.
So you have to commit
to a different household to
meet with in the
period of validity until January 10, 2021
.
Other households must not be hit, "it says.
The restriction to a maximum of five people continues to apply.
Children under the age of 14 are not included.
Coburg tightens corona rules: City advises against "tourism" in other districts
The city of Coburg
urgently
advises
against
“tourism” in other districts
in which the regulations are less strict. “Coburg continues to occupy one of the inglorious top positions in terms of incidence figures and the infection rate in the city is diffuse.
So we can usually not clarify exactly where the infection originates, "said the press spokesman for the city, Louay Yassin.
“Therefore we
unfortunately have to tighten
the
regulations
further.
We have to get off these high numbers.
That is why it does not make sense to avoid the strict regulations by driving elsewhere. "
Visits to nursing homes and hospitals are limited to a maximum of 30 minutes per patient per day.
Every visitor must wear an FFP2 mask.
Meetings in closed rooms are prohibited.
Open-air gatherings are limited to a maximum of 25 people and a duration of 60 minutes.
A minimum distance of two meters must be maintained.
Services in buildings are now strictly prohibited.
For outdoor worship services, the maximum number of participants is 50.
It is essential to wear a face mask.
"Please stick to the rules, the number of
infections
in Coburg is
still increasing,
" asked Yassin again.
"Since the employees in our hospital and the clinic itself are already at the limit of their endurance, we urgently need to reduce the infections."
Corona in Bavaria: shot at district office with air gun?
Update from December 30th, 8:47 p.m.:
According to the local
police headquarters,
a mysterious incident occurred
in
Lower Bavaria
.
Apparently, a stranger
shot
at a window of the old
district office
with an
air
gun.
The
Kelheim
police station
was informed of the bullet hole on Tuesday.
In the building that has been empty since 2016, the
vaccination center is
currently located on the ground floor
.
This is reported by the
Mittelbayerische Zeitung
.
The head of the vaccination center informed the
police
that a bullet hole was found in the external glazing of an upstairs window during a tour.
A corresponding projectile from an
air gun was
found
there in the space between the double glazing
.
There are currently no concrete references to the perpetrator and motive.
“It is currently not possible to establish a direct link between the act and the current use of the building.
It is investigated in all directions, ”said the press spokesman for the police headquarters, Maximilian Bohms.
The Kripo Landshut asks for information from the population.
Corona in Bavaria: is the vaccine coming after all?
The confusion is complete
Update from December 30th, 6:25 p.m.: Bavaria
should now
receive
the originally promised
vaccine delivery
.
In the afternoon it was said that the ration for the beginning of January had been canceled.
Now the U-turn followed.
After criticism from several countries, including
Bavaria
, the Federal Ministry of Health announced that there
should be
a
delivery
on January 8th
- but only again on January 18th.
State Secretary
for
Health Klaus Holetschek
criticized the federal government nonetheless: “The federal government's information policy is in need of great improvement *, because unfortunately the information we need has so far only reached us very slowly and mostly at short notice.
The federal government must finally ensure an adequate
supply of vaccines
. ”It was not possible to convey to the citizens“ that despite a high willingness to vaccinate they should wait for protection against this insidious disease, ”said
Holetschek
.
According to the Ministry of Health, around
17,000 people in the Free State
had already been
vaccinated by
Wednesday
noon, especially in senior citizens' and care facilities.
According to an overview by the Robert Koch Institute,
Bavaria was
previously - in absolute figures - ahead of the national comparison.
In addition, according to
Health Minister Melanie Huml,
another
107,500 vaccine doses arrived in Bavaria
on Wednesday
.
In the future, 107,250 vaccine doses per week are to come from the federal government.
Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann announces increased controls on New Year's Eve
Update from December 30th, 5:58 p.m.:
Bavaria
is facing a very quiet
New Year's Eve
.
Igniting firecrackers and fireworks is
prohibited in public places and in many municipalities also on private properties
due to the
Corona crisis
.
Toasting to 2021 with your neighbors on the street is not possible in the Free State due to the nightly exit restrictions from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Three Saarland politicians brought up a questionable idea.
You advocate catching up on the fireworks in the New Year.
The
police
will
increasingly check on New Year's Eve
whether the celebrants adhere to these guidelines.
Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann
announced that
800 riot police forces will support the local police inspections
.
The focus should be on compliance with the exit restrictions and the curfew from 9 p.m., as the ministry announced.
To Berlin: delivery canceled!
Bavaria does not get a new vaccine either - "incomprehensible" for Huml
Update from December 30th, 2:50 p.m.:
After Berlin now the bad news for Bavaria.
"As we heard from the federal government today, Bavaria will
probably
not receive any vaccine
delivery
in the
first week of January
- contrary to the previous promise,
"
Bavaria's Minister of Health Melanie Huml (CSU)
told
focus.de
on Wednesday.
It is "incomprehensible" as such a delivery can simply be omitted.
Bavaria demands more clarity and reliability in corona vaccine delivery
Update from December 30, 11:27 a.m
.: Bavaria's
State Secretary for
Health
Klaus Holetschek
(CSU) hopes for more predictability and reliability from the federal
government when it
comes to the
delivery of corona vaccines
.
If you want to assign appointments in the vaccination centers, you have to know when which vaccine is available and in what quantity, said Holetschek on Wednesday the
German Press Agency (dpa).
“I would like the federal government to be more reliable.” Otherwise it would be very difficult
to give information to
the people who
call and ask
the
hotlines
.
According to Holetschek, there are already more than 8,000 reservations for the vaccination centers in Bavaria.
Holetschek was overall satisfied with the start of the vaccination in Bavaria - despite minor problems.
Around 10,000 people, especially in old people's and nursing homes, have already been vaccinated.
“We didn't really get off to a bad start.” But Holetschek also raised the question of how further increases in production could be achieved.
Every effort would have to be made to boost production.
Corona vaccination started in Bavaria: Fraudsters use nasty scams - Health Minister Huml reacts
Update from December 30th, 10:07 a.m.:
Corona
vaccination has
only been
taking place
in Bavaria since Sunday, and
fraudsters have already jumped on the bandwagon.
Callers claim that the called party can be vaccinated with immediate effect - against payment of a sum of money (see update from December 29th, 2:21 pm).
The Garching city administration warned not to accept the offer.
Even
Health Minister Melanie Huml
clarifies: "In view of such dubious phone calls I repeat: be vaccinated for all citizens
free of charge
.
Nobody has to pay in advance for this.
The costs are fully covered by the health insurance companies or the Free State of Bavaria. "
Vaccination against the corona virus started: special rights for vaccinated people?
Update from December 29th, 9.11 p.m.:
Will there be
special regulations for corona vaccinated people
?
Jens Spahn clearly rejects this idea, but the debate has flared up.
But is it that easy to regulate from the government side?
“A
general ban on discrimination
already applies to the state
.
It is therefore forbidden from the outset to differentiate between vaccinated and non-vaccinated people, for example in public transport.
In the private sector, on the other hand, there is a
regulatory loophole
that we have to address, ”says Volker Ullrich, legal policy spokesman for the CSU regional group of the
world
.
Of course there is an official
ban on discrimination
in Germany.
The text does not include
vaccinations
.
“The law formulates six specific grounds for discrimination in which unequal treatment is prohibited - this includes, for example, disabilities.
If the legislature wanted to take precautions so that
non-vaccinated people would not suffer any disadvantages
, it would have to regulate this specifically, ”explains the spokesman for the Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency, Sebastian Bickerich.
Private businesses such as restaurants, hotels or pubs have their
domiciliary rights
and can expel people from their property if they want.
They only act illegally when there is actually discrimination.
A possible group of people of the
"non-vaccinated"
is not found in the relevant law.
New corona rapid test from Bavaria: Aiwanger orders one million tests from Martinsried company
Update from December 29th, 5:20 p.m.:

Bavarian state government will be
using a new
rapid corona test
from January

It is said to provide reliable results within less than an hour.
Hubert Aiwanger
raves about the method.
"The world's best rapid test", the Deputy Prime Minister is euphoric.
The Bavarian rapid tests could be available across Europe from March.
Corona vaccination started: Fraudsters use nasty scams - Bavarian city warns
Update from December 29, 2:21 p.m
.: It has only been
vaccinated against the
corona virus
in
Bavaria
since Sunday
, but scammers have already jumped on the bandwagon.
According to the Garching city administration, citizens have received calls in the past few days about an alleged
corona vaccination
, which indicate a fraud. * According to the callers claim that those called could be vaccinated immediately - against payment of a certain amount of money.
"This is a scam that should not be discussed under any circumstances," warns the city.
In principle, the corona vaccination is free of charge.
All information on this and the dates to be allocated will only be sent by post from the
Munich District Office
, it continues.
However, as long as the mobile vaccination teams are on the move in the old people's and nursing homes, the district office does not send any information letters.

Gastronomy sounds the alarm: "The need is brutal" - are there special rights for corona-vaccinated people?
Update from December 29th, 12:53 p.m
.: The Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association can
well imagine
relaxed
corona rules
for vaccinated people.
Kindergartens would also require vaccinations.
And if 50 people want to celebrate together in the inn "and all are vaccinated, why not?" Said
Association President Angela Inselkammer
on Tuesday in Munich.
"I would proceed relatively pragmatically."
The innkeepers continued to fully trust the federal government's promise to get 75 percent of the lost sales replaced with the November and December aid - even if they had "not received any significant payments" yet.
Many landlords would have used all of their savings including retirement provisions and gone into debt.
"57 percent of the companies see their existence at risk," said Inselkammer.
"The need is brutal."
Many people had noticed that life would be poorer without the inns: "When we open up again, the demand will be very high," said Inselkammer.
Out of necessity, many innkeepers have also made money with out-of-home sales or tried other new concepts.
Some of it will remain, even if it can only be additional business.
Söder warns to be patient with corona vaccine - hospitals sound the alarm: "exposure higher than in spring"
First report from December 29th, 8:30 a.m
.: Munich - Since Sunday (December 27th) vaccinations against the coronavirus * have also been carried out in Bavaria.
At the start there was a
breakdown in the cooling system
.
Contrary to first reports, the doses concerned are not inoculated after all.
This was announced by a spokesman for the Lichtenfels district office of the
German press agency
.
Corona vaccination start in Bavaria: "That gives hope" - but patience is required
Many look hopefully to the upcoming
vaccinations
, including Prime Minister Markus Söder *.
But because the ordered quantities * “come only gradually, it will take longer.
So it takes patience, ”as the
CSU boss wrote
on Boxing Day on Twitter.
The vaccine is here.
At least a small amount arrived in Bavaria today.
That gives hope.
But because the quantities ordered come gradually, it will take longer.
Therefore, patience is still required.

Corona in Bavaria: Nurses and doctors in hospitals are reaching their limits
Nursing staff and doctors
in hospitals are now reaching their limits.
The work pressure is high, patients die and there is a fear of being infected.
"The stress is higher than in spring, when we were still fresh," said psychologist Eva Katharina Krauss-Köstler from the Nuremberg Clinic.
The first Corona * wave has already left its mark, now everyone has to hold out anyway.
In this situation, a psychosocial
crisis intervention team
is supposed to
support the employees at the Nuremberg Clinic *.
The 25 employees can be reached on a crisis hotline every day from morning until night.
Corona in Bavaria: Doctors and nurses worried about infecting their own family
“It is very different what moves people,” said Krauss-Köstler, who looks after the crisis intervention team.
Some suffered from the heavy
workload
, others worried about not having enough time for the family or possibly even infecting them with Corona *.
"We noticed that we are contacted more often when a young person dies of Covid-19 *."
However, the team also regularly goes to the wards that are particularly affected in order to get an idea for themselves - and above all to build trust.
"It is a high threshold for employees to turn to a crisis intervention team," said the head psychologist Barbara Stein from the Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy.
It often helps to talk about worries and insecurities in the team.
In everyday life, however, that is just getting lost.
“There is currently no air to breathe deeply,” said Stein.
