  results for Bavaria

  from

  today's Corona summit

Update from January 19, 12.28 p.m.:

Every few weeks the

Prime Ministers

again debate

with

Chancellor Angela Merkel

in digital

corona summits

about new uniform measures.

A little later, each country chief is looking for his own path through the pandemic.

This time too?

At least for this reason, it is difficult to predict the exact rules.

We summarize here

which points the

lockdown extension should

include:

• Contact restrictions:

  There are indications that each household is only allowed to meet one additional person.

  This regulation has been in place in Bavaria since December.

• FFP2 mask compulsory:

  Mouth and nose covers with up to 95 percent protection of the wearer must be worn when shopping in retail and when using public transport, which has been in effect in Bavaria since Monday.

  A mask requirement is also planned to protect residents in old people's and nursing homes.

• Schools and daycare centers:

  The educational institutions remain closed, home schooling is the magic word.

• Work:

  There is no sign of any obligation to

  work

  from home, but companies should be asked to offer their employees the opportunity to work within their own four walls.

• Curfews:

  There is a plan to declare curfews nationwide from 9 p.m.

  This has been in effect in Bavaria since the end of last year.

• Public transport:

  According to politicians, the number of passengers on buses and trains should not exceed a third of the available space.

• 15-kilometer radius:

  The controversial leash for residents of Corona hotspots could be extended.

  Apparently, all regions that do not come to an incidence value of 50 or less by mid-February should be subject to further restrictions on movement - either in the form of exit restrictions or the 15-kilometer leash.

Munich

- lock up.

Lock.

Lock.

In short, this is the tactic of political decision-makers in the

Corona crisis *

.

At the beginning of November it hit the

catering establishments

, which since then have only been allowed to offer meals outside the home.

In mid-December,

retailers

and many other businesses had to go into hibernation.

Because

no exception was made for

hairdressers

, hair sprouts on many millions of heads.

For

Markus Söder it

is clear: The

risk of infection *

in the salons

is simply too great, after all, employees and customers inevitably get very close.

The minimum distance simply cannot be observed.

Corona in Bavaria: FDP politician Markwort applies to open hairdressing salons

The Bavarian state government of the

CSU *

boss now has to deal with the question of whether hairdressers should reopen * despite these fears.

The

FDP politician

Helmut Markwort made

a request to the cabinet

under the subject "

Classify hairdressers as a health profession

- correction of the classification of the hairdressing trade in the Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance"

.

The

former Focus editor is

not interested in the fact that his gray mane will soon have to be trimmed again.

His request goes much deeper.

"Doctors told me that hairdressers

can recognize many diseases in the head at an early stage

," explains Markwort: "That may be the

cancer symptom melanoma

as an example, but many other

things also strike

the hairdressers first."

Corona in Bavaria: Depression in women with colored hair?

In addition, it is "also a psychosocial question as to whether women with colored hair

might

not

be prone to depression

if the

white or gray hair

suddenly

comes through".

That is why the 84-year-old age president of the state parliament suggests

integrating

“the hairdressing trade into the

therapeutic professions

”.

Because it is important to consider “that the hairdressers also have healing hands”.

Markwort's advance is likely to come too late

to be discussed

at the

Corona summit

this Tuesday among the country leaders and Chancellor

Angela Merkel *

.

When the timetable for the coming weeks is to be tied down.

In a conversation with our editorial team *, Söder recently demanded "

(to) extend

the

lockdown until mid-February

".

Corona in Bavaria: curfew and FFP2 mask obligation should come nationwide

It was previously announced that all

final exams at schools in the Free State will be postponed

.

Otherwise, the main thing is

to bring the

stricter measures already in force in Bavaria such as

curfew from 9 p.m.

or the

obligation to wear an FFP2 mask in retail and public transport

nationwide.

There is also a

home office requirement

in the

room,

but this will probably be difficult to enforce.

At the very least, companies should be obliged

to offer

their employees

work from home

.

Everything else is then probably the

personal responsibility of

each individual.
