An overview.
Here you can find the Corona-News from Bavaria.
We also offer you the current case numbers in the Free State in a map.
Munich -
Germany has been
in lockdown
since mid-December
. * The reason is the high Corona * numbers.
Chancellor Angela Merkel * and the prime ministers of the federal states are repeatedly discussing an
extension and tightening of
the Corona * measures.
The current
lockdown
is valid until January 31, but there will be another
corona summit
on Tuesday (January 19)
.
Then another tightening threatens.
What is currently valid in Bavaria, which rule will be added on Monday?
An
overview.
Corona lockdown in Bavaria: FFP2 mask requirement - this rule applies from Monday
The FFP2 mask requirement is new.
This applies from Monday (January 18th).
All persons aged 15 and over must
wear
an
FFP2 mask
when using local public transport and when shopping
.
This not only protects the environment, but also the wearer himself from the corona virus. * 2.5 million FFP2 masks are to be made available for those in need.
As Prime Minister Markus Söder * announced at a press conference, no
fines
should be imposed
in the first week
.
The CSU * boss called this
"goodwill week"
.
The FFP2 mask requirement also only applies to customers and not to employees in retail, as can be read on the website of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, for Sport and Integration.
Read here where you can buy the FFP2 masks, what they cost and whether you can use them several times. *
Corona lockdown in Bavaria: These rules have been in effect since January 11th
“The
lockdown
will be extended and deepened in some places,” Söder said at a press conference at the beginning of the year.
The measures were initially extended to January 31.
In concrete terms this means:
Contacts are reduced:
Meetings are only allowed with a maximum of one person from another household - no longer as before five people.
There is an exception for children up to and including three years of age.
In December, children up to the age of 14 were
exempt
from the
contact
restrictions.
15-kilometer rule in hotspots
: residents of counties and cities with a seven-day incidence * of over 200 are no longer allowed to make day trips over a radius of 15 kilometers.
Purchases are excluded from this.
Company canteens
are closed wherever work processes permit.
The delivery of take-away food and drinks is still permitted.
Consumption on site is prohibited.
In addition to large parts of the retail, catering and hotel industries,
schools will also
remain closed.
Emergency care is to be
set up
for day-care centers, students from levels 1 to 6, special
needs students
and children with disabilities
.
The parents' professional groups are not looked at, as Söder made clear at a press conference.
The care applies to those who need it.
Distance teaching
should
be
offered
in all schools and grades
.
We play it safe with schools and daycare centers.
There are no face-to-face classes until the end of January, but neither are there any extended holidays.
We rely on distance learning plus emergency care for those who need it.
It's about education and the best possible protection for students and teachers.
- Markus Söder (@Markus_Soeder) January 6, 2021
At the Corona * summit on Tuesday, Germany and thus Bavaria could already face the next restrictions.
In the conversation there is probably an even stricter
contact restriction
, so a "one-steady-friend rule".
So you may soon have to decide which friend you will meet during the lockdown.
Meeting a different friend on different days would then no longer be allowed.
