This news ticker has now ended.
In the follow-up we address the demand of FDP politician Helmut Markwort
to reopen
the
hairdressing salons
.
It refers to the recommendation of doctors.
Update from January 19, 7:32
a.m
.:
The
Munich infectious disease
specialist Clemens Wendtner considers the strict
lockdown
to be necessary despite the slightly falling number of cases.
"We are not yet where we want it to be," said the
chief infectious agent
at Munich Clinic Schwabing.
It is gratifying that the
number of cases has
already decreased slightly, which can also be observed in the inpatient setting.
"But we come from a very high level," said Wendtner.
Lockdown extension in Bavaria: Munich infectiologist considers strictness to be necessary
Even with a very optimistic estimate, the
seven-day incidence
could be
halved within a maximum of seven to ten days.
The goal must be an incidence of around
25 new infections
within seven days.
Only then could health authorities
understand chains of infection
again
and
carry out
their work in full.
"One lesson from the past few months is that you
shouldn't lift
a
lockdown too early
," said Wendtner.
"You have to stick with it, otherwise all the effort will be in vain."
Corona numbers in Bavaria: 2781 new infections and 232 deaths - late reports included
The number of
Corona infections
in Bavaria within one day to
2781
increased.
According to the
figures reported
to the
Robert Koch Institute (RKI)
on Tuesday,
15 districts and
urban districts were
above the incidence value of 200 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.
In addition, 232 new deaths were reported within 24 hours.
The current figures contain
late registrations
, as incomplete data from Bavaria were received by the RKI on Monday.
The seven-day incidence for all of Bavaria was
136.1
according to the RKI
.
Update from January 18, 7.43 p.m.:
The vaccine manufacturer
Biontech
will
deliver a
total of 13 percent less
vaccine
than planned
for the four deliveries to
Bavaria that are due by
February 15
.
Health Minister
Klaus Holetschek (CSU) announced
on Monday in Munich.
There are therefore delays and postponements in the initial vaccinations.
Second vaccinations have priority and are guaranteed.
According to the company, the short deliveries would be offset again from February 22nd.
Tomorrow the federal and state governments will discuss tightening the corona measures.
Will the lockdown be extended?
Is there a nationwide curfew coming?
We have summarized all information for you.
Bavarian Association concerned about unsightly corona episode: "Massive increase in immoral offers"
Update January 18, 18:35:
The
lockdown
leads, according to the Bavarian
Friseurhandwerks
to an increase in
undeclared work
.
"We are currently observing with great concern a massive increase in 'immoral' offers from consumers who ask hairdressers for private appointments for haircuts," said a
letter from
the
state guild association
to the state government on Monday.
This is a fatal development in view of the
corona pandemic
, because
hygiene concepts
do not play a role in illegal work and chains of infection are incomprehensible.
The hairdressing salons have been closed since mid-December.
Also,
home visits
are not allowed, according to the Health Ministry.
According to the Bavarian Infection Protection Act, all services that require physical proximity to the customer are prohibited.
The national guild association is now appealing to the state government that the hairdressing salons may reopen on February 1st.
The 14,000 independent
hairdressers
in the Free State have already proven that, thanks to good hygiene concepts, a visit to the hairdresser is safe in the pandemic, it said.
According to the trade association, there were only six reported
Covid-19
cases
in the 80,000 companies in Germany last year
.
Before the Corona summit: Söder praises his own measures and hands out violently against colleagues
Update from January 18, 1:48 p.m
.: Markus Söder sees Bavaria as
well positioned
in terms of
corona measures
.
“We are the country with a nationwide curfew,” he told Merkur.de *, “with a strict radius for day-trippers, daycare centers have closed and all schools are operating at a distance.
As of today, the nationwide strictest FFP2 mask requirement applies. "
With a view to the Corona summit tomorrow,
Tuesday (January 19)
, the agenda of the Bavarian Prime Minister seems to be more likely
to move
all other federal states
to the same
measures
.
In a radio interview on
Bayern 2
, Söder
also diligently distributes to his counterparts.
Most countries have no curfew, no decent 15-kilometer rule, and daycare centers are open.
As a radiant counterexample, Söder praises the Bavarian
ban on
excursions to
Corona hotspots
and the
FFP2 mask requirement
.
The further timetable is apparently also clear for Söder.
"We have to extend the lockdown until mid-February," he
tells our editorial team.
Update from January 18, 1.30 p.m.:
A maximum of 15 kilometers of freedom of movement around your own place of residence - what does that actually mean?
A fact and data check makes the new corona rule, which applies from an incidence value of over 200, understandable.
Embarrassing Corona breakdown: citizens in the Augsburg district were banned from excursions because of incorrect numbers
Update from January 18, 11:45 a.m
.: Embarrassing corona posse in
the Augsburg district
.
A
trip ban (15-kilometer rule)
for
250,000 people was
issued there
last week
.
But already on Friday it became clear: This was based on
incorrect numbers from the RKI.
The lock has now been lifted.
There is still criticism.
Member of the state parliament,
Fabian Mehring (Free Voters)
,
wrote on Twitter
that the withdrawal was "overdue" and speaks of a "breakdown series" during testing, vaccination and counting in the Augsburg district. *
Corona numbers in Munich give hope - but case numbers are apparently incorrect
Update from January 18, 11.11 a.m.:
The
new incidence
for the Bavarian capital gave hope -
according to the
RKI
, the value for the city of
Munich
apparently fell on Monday (January 18) (
see update from January 18, 10:35 a.m.
).
As has now become known, however, the reported
case numbers are apparently incorrect
.
The new RKI figures are probably incomplete.
It is currently being checked what the reason for the few reports is.
Strikingly low values were reported
from
Bavaria
in
particular
.
It
remains to be seen
whether the
numbers will
actually fall and the
lockdown will have an
effect.
Coronavirus in Bavaria: New incidence reported for the city of Munich
Update from January 18, 10:35 a.m.:
Starting today there will
be a further tightening of the rules
throughout
Bavaria
- FFP2 masks are mandatory in local public transport and in shops (

).
To
regional restrictions
, it may take the form of the
15-kilometer rule
also all come where the
seven-day incidence
is 200 or greater.
For the
Bavarian capital of
Munich,
however, this possible tightening currently seems to have moved a little further away.
The incidence has declined and currently stands now for
Munich
at
114.1
(as of January 18).
Previously, according to the RKI, the value was 123.6.

Corona in Bavaria: New virus variant discovered - From today FFP2 mask is mandatory
Update from January 18, 8:29 a.m.:
A new variant of the corona virus * was discovered in Bavaria.
One that has not even been known to the experts in the laboratory of the well-known virologist Professor Dr.

Update January 18, 6:37
: In order to protect against infection by the
coronavirus

Bavaria
a
FFP2 mask duty
.
For adults, the previous everyday mask in
local public transport
- including buses, trams, underground and suburban trains as well as regional trains -
will no longer be sufficient
in
shops
.
Transport Minister Kerstin Schreyer appealed to the Bavarian citizens to adhere to the new regulations.
"The virus is mutating and becoming more aggressive, so it is wise to use all the options we have," said Schreyer.
The citizens are initially given a so-called "
goodwill week"
.
This means that
fines
for not wearing an
FFP2 mask
in the prescribed locations will not be imposed until January 25th.
How high the penalty will be is not yet known.
If the masks are worn correctly, they are much more protective than simple mouth and nose covers.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder talks about the next tough measures - lockdown was "only half the dose" so far
Update from January 17, 10:24 p.m.: Corona mass outbreak
in a retirement home in
Benediktbeuern
in Upper Bavaria
.

.
The number of those infected there rose to a total of 21 on Sunday evening.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder calls for a tough line - and ponders border controls
Update from January 17th, 9:34 pm:
"The basic problem in our
handling of the pandemic
was often that the
countermeasures were taken
too late and then loosened again too early," mused
Markus Söder
in an interview with the
FAZ
.
On Tuesday, the federal and state governments will
decide
on possible
tightening of the lockdown
.
The
Bavarian Prime Minister
seems to be taking a clear position.
“It was
only half the dose of
what is needed,” says Söder, classifying the
lockdown “light”
.
Half-hearted decisions are now prohibited.
“The best thing would be a uniform European strategy in
combating corona
,” he also brings up very tough decisions, “if this does not succeed,
border controls
would make sense.
That already helped effectively in the spring.
It doesn't take forever either. "
Corona in Bavaria: are some numbers transmitted too low?
Almost 20 counties above critical incidence
Update from January 17, 7:54 p.m.:
The current report from the Robert Koch Institute describes a slight calming of the
corona situation in Bavaria
.
"After a sharp increase in the number of cases at the beginning of December, a decline during the holidays and a renewed increase in the first week of January, the
number of cases
seems to
be stabilizing again," the RKI classifies.
In
17 districts and cities
in Bavaria, however, the
incidence value is
still above the critical level of
200
.
This means that the 15-kilometer rule applies there.
In addition, there is an entry ban in many excursion regions with an incidence of over 200.
The highest numbers were found
in the university town of
Bayreuth
.
With an incidence value of 291.5.

According to
Bayerischer Rundfunk
, however, several municipalities have
complained
about
difficulties in data transmission
in the past few days
.
Among others, the
district of Munich and the city of Nuremberg
.
Do some circles generally transmit too low case numbers?
The Ministry of Health does not believe that.
"
The State Office for Health and Food Safety has no
evidence of a regional
systematic under-recording of case numbers
," a spokesman clarifies.
Corona in the Free State: SPD expert criticizes Söder government - "officials are burned"
Update from January 17, 11:20 a.m.:
Since the beginning of the
corona pandemic
, more than 1,400
police officers in Bavaria have been
infected with the virus.
This was announced by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior at the request of the German Press Agency in Munich.
1264 of the total of 1436
infected police officers
are considered cured.
The number of infected police officers has risen rapidly, especially since November.
The SPD interior expert Stefan Schuster accuses the government of
Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) of
sometimes
unnecessarily endangering
the officials
: "Our police are doing a great job in this pandemic, but they are also being
burned
by the Söder government
", he said.
According to the state government's response to the request, 32 police officers submitted an application for
recognition as an occupational accident
after their corona infection by the end of November
- all applications were
rejected.
Corona in Bavaria: 7-day incidence far from target value
A total of
374,868 people have been infected with the coronavirus
in Bavaria since the beginning of the pandemic
(as of January 17, 12:00 a.m., source: RKI).
This means that Bavaria is still in second place behind North Rhine-Westphalia.
It is the same with the number of deaths.
This is 8,690 in Bavaria.
The average
7-day incidence in the Free State is 141.7.
Update from January 16, 7.11 p.m.:
Corona measures opponents planned
to protest
at four different events in
Nuremberg *
on Sunday
.
The city forbade them to do so.
It was to be feared that the conditions and distance rules would not be observed, it said in the statement.
The organizers then wanted to use a trick that has now become popular and
declare
their event - which was to take place in front of the Lorenz Church - as a
service
.
But the police and the city have now also canceled this event.
A spokesman for the Middle Franconia police said on Saturday that all events against the
corona restrictions
on Sunday were prohibited.
Even
Nuremberg Mayor Marcus King
(CSU) pointed out via Twitter to the ban, a "spontaneous worship" is not permissible.
😡😡😡 ATTENTION 😡😡😡
Corona deniers declare their forbidden demonstrations in Nuremberg to be a "service" in front of the Lorenz Church at:
1. Please do not go there & do not support !!
2. We as church (s) in Nuremberg have nothing to do with it!
3. #stayhome #StaySafe
- Evangelical Luth.
Deanery Nuremberg (@evang_nuernberg) January 15, 2021
The churches also separated themselves from the event and the declaration as a
service
on Twitter
.
"The initiators of this event probably want to create a replacement for the forbidden demonstration", so the statement of the Protestant and the Catholic Church in a joint communication.
Such an event has nothing to do with the
liturgical celebration
in the churches.
Corona in Bavaria: Outbreak in a retirement home in the Rottal-Inn district
Update from January 16, 3:43 p.m.:
A
corona outbreak
occurred
in a
retirement home in the Rottal-Inn district
.
28 of the 39 residents and 19 of the 37 employees tested positive for Sars-Cov-2, reports the
Passauer Neue Presse
(PNP) on Saturday.
There was a series test on Wednesday after rapid tests had positive results for some employees.
A few days earlier - on Saturday - 48 people had been vaccinated in the St. Josef home in Kirchdorf am Inn.
According to the PNP, the Rottal-Inn District Office explained: "Due to the period between the first vaccination - and it was only the first vaccination so far - and the outbreak of the infection, it is very likely that the affected person did not have extensive vaccination protection was not to be expected. ”
The retirement home has been quarantined for ten days since Thursday.
How the virus got into the home was initially unclear.
The
employees of the vaccination team would be tested regularly, said a district office spokesman for the newspaper.
Update from January 16, 12:22 p.m.:
The corona situation in Bavaria seems to be relaxing a little.
On Saturday, 22 districts and cities were still above the
limit of 200
, a decrease compared to the previous days.
On Friday, 25 districts and cities had passed the 200 mark.
According to the
Robert Koch Institute,
the
current front runner in Bavaria is
the city of Bayreuth with an incidence of 315.6.
However, there is feedback and complaints from municipalities across Germany that data transmission via the new Demis electronic reporting system is not working properly and that the data are therefore not reliable.
In Bavaria, these have included the
city of Nuremberg and the district of Munich
in recent days
.
Corona in Bavaria: Health Minister Holetschek orders syringes for vaccination against the virus
Update from January 16, 9.42 a.m.:
Bavaria's Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek has ordered a further 2.1 million syringes for
vaccinations against the
corona virus
.
A message from the Bavarian Ministry of Health on Saturday shows that this also
ensures
the use of additional
vaccination doses
.
The Free State bought enough syringes and needles before the latest order to vaccinate the entire Bavarian population twice, it is said.
According to the ministry, the additional 2.1 million syringes, each with a capacity of one milliliter, will be used to vaccinate even more people.
"An order process" is also currently in progress for another 1.5 million syringes.
Some of the citizens who were vaccinated on December 27th will
receive
the second required
vaccination
in the coming days
.
According to the current state of research, immunization against
Covid-19 should be
achieved
one week later
.
The decision of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the vaccine developed by Biontech / Pfizer was decisive for the latest order for syringes.
After reports on Friday about delivery problems with Pfizer's corona vaccine, the planned second vaccinations for people in Bavaria are not in danger from the Ministry of Health.
On Friday, however, it was unclear how the first vaccinations would continue.
Corona in Bavaria: Greens attack Söder's vaccination plan mercilessly
Update from January 16, 7:11 a.m.:
Criticism of Markus Söder: The Bavarian Greens accuse the Prime Minister of
neglecting the Corona vaccination campaign
in the Free State.
In the summer "there would have been enough time to properly prepare the vaccination start," said Green parliamentary group leader
Ludwig Hartmann of
the "Augsburger Allgemeine" (Saturday).
And now the CSU boss has done a “disservice” to the willingness to vaccinate by calling for mandatory vaccination for the nursing staff.
A motivating
information campaign
would be necessary
.
"Söder does the exact opposite when he publicly
rants
about
compulsory vaccination for nurses
," criticized Hartmann.
"We're just starting to vaccinate the people in the homes and those over 80."
Family doctors should be involved in order to relieve people of
fear
.
"These are the people you trust who are important here," said the Green politician.
"When vaccinating, it is not enough for me that Markus Söder says he will get himself vaccinated." Hartmann also criticized the
15-kilometer rule in Corona hotspots
.
This is incomprehensible, because the aim is to avoid contact, not to restrict movement.
The unreasonable demands must be understandable and balanced, otherwise the overall acceptance of the corona measures would suffer.
Instead of sharpening the private sphere, the world of work should be looked at more closely: most contacts take place on the way to work and at work, "there is still more to be done there," said Hartmann.
Corona in Bavaria: FFP2 mask requirement is still under criticism
Update from January 15, 9:22 p.m.:
The
FFP2 mask requirement in Bavaria *
, which will apply
from
Monday (January 18),
is still under criticism.
Finally a professor from Rostock got in touch.
The medical professor Andreas Podbielski had sharply rejected the FFP2 obligation. * "That sounds like actionism to me," said the director of the Institute for Medical Microbiology, Virology and Hygiene at the University of Rostock on Friday.
In
his opinion,
FFP2 masks
only
belong
in the medical professions
.
These masks are stressful and bring “loads of risks” with them.
It is not for nothing that the Occupational Safety and Health Act stipulates that you should take a break after wearing it for two hours, he emphasized.
After clear criticism of the FFP2 mask requirement - Holetschek defends himself
The criticism of Bavaria's approach is factually incomprehensible, says
Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU).
According to the ministry, the discussed disadvantages of the
FFP2 masks are
not that relevant.
"The
wearing times
are
comparatively short
when
shopping in retail stores,
when using
public transport
and when picking up goods
," it said.
The limitation of wearing time known from the world of work and the increased breathing resistance due to the mask therefore only played a
subordinate role.
Mayor Dieter Reiter attests the Free State of “chaos” in the distribution of vaccines
Update from January 15th, 4:05 pm
: Munich's Lord Mayor
Dieter Reiter
has criticized "chaotic conditions" in the delivery of vaccines.
Contrary to the state's announcement that it would
regularly supply
the local
vaccination centers
with corona vaccine every Tuesday and Friday, the city did not receive the 3500 vaccine doses promised for Friday, the town hall said.
With the vaccine still available, it could just be ensured that the necessary second vaccination of the first vaccinated residents could take place over the weekend.
"We can only vaccinate what
vaccine
is made available to
us
," explained Reiter.
"This chaotic situation, where vaccination doses are announced but not delivered, must be stopped immediately."
Corona hammer in Bavaria: SPD wants to tip Radius rule - sharp new cuts are likely to come
Update from January 15, 12:17 p.m
.: The SPD parliamentary group is
taking action
against the
15-kilometer rule in hotspots
.
Three members of the state parliament, including the
parliamentary group leader Horst Arnold
, are suing the measure.
Arnold and the two MPs Inge Aures and Christian Flisek announced on Friday in Munich
that the regulation would be
checked
with a so-called
norms control application at the Bavarian Administrative
Court.
Since Monday, excursions within a radius of no more than 15 kilometers have been allowed if the
seven-day incidence there is
over 200.
Some affected districts have also issued a ban on excursions, so that visitors are no longer allowed to come to the region for tourist purposes.
The reason given for the measures is to contain the coronavirus.
The regulation is highly controversial.
Several applications against the 15-kilometer rule are pending at the Bavarian Administrative Court.
Corona in Bavaria: Landtag SPD takes action against the 15-kilometer rule - "Rule of law concerns"
The
Landtag SPD has
now reported “massive concerns about the rule of law”.
“The life and health of citizens must be protected by the state.
At the same time, every measure must be measured against the rules of the rule of law, especially if it constitutes a significant
encroachment on fundamental rights
such as the restriction on freedom of movement, ”explained Arnold.
No anti-corona measure is an end in itself.
"It must be suitable for containing the pandemic, and it must be the mildest means compared to other options," emphasized Arnold.
The representative of the MPs, the Regensburg professor Thorsten Kingreen, said about the regulation: “It does not prevent any
contacts
, but only aims at how far or where you drive.
But that is irrelevant for the infection process. "
Corona hammer in Bavaria: SPD wants to tip Radius rule - sharp new cuts are likely to come
Update from January 15, 11.43 a.m
.: In hotspots with an incidence of over 200, a stricter
rule
has recently been in place
.
Residents of these cities or districts are not allowed to go on excursions more than 15 kilometers from their place of residence.
“We don't need new rules every day without yesterday's work,” said the mayor of the Swabian town of Nördlingen, David Wittner, on Friday in the
Augsburger Allgemeine.
The
SPD long-day parliamentary group
is now taking action against this very rule.
According to information from the
Passauer Neue Presse
, the parliamentary group submitted a regulatory review application against the 15-kilometer rule to the
Bavarian Administrative
Court.
More on this shortly.
Compulsory for nurses?
Lucha gives Söder-Vorschlag a rejection
Update from January 15, 11:20 a.m
.: A few days ago, Markus Söder started a debate about the
mandatory vaccination for nurses
.
He had requested that the ethics council deal with it.
Now the Baden-Württemberg
Minister of Health, Manfred Lucha, has
fought off the Bavarian Prime Minister's initiative.
"I would
recommend
Mr. Söder just a two-week retreat in a Bavarian
silent
monastery," said the Green politician in an interview with the "Badische Zeitung" (Friday).
The debate about compulsory vaccination is at the moment a debate of
uncertainty
, said Lucha.
“We have received feedback that around 60 percent of the nursing staff in our country want to be vaccinated, in contrast to other countries where it is only 30 percent.
That is not enough, but it is a basis. "
Corona: There are also bitter new cuts in Bavaria - details leaked - Söder with demand
First report from January 15, 9.45 a.m .:
Munich - Germany has been in a tough lockdown for weeks. * But the Corona * numbers are still high.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI *), 25 cities and districts
in
Bavaria
alone
are above the important limit of 200 per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.
The highest seven-day incidence * reached the city of
Bayreuth
on Friday
with 323.6.
This is followed by the districts of Rottal-Inn (310.3), Kulmbach (286.4) and Regen (270.0).
Corona in Bavaria: seven-day incidence over 200-15 KM rule applies
The cities of Passau, Coburg, Rosenheim, Hof, Nuremberg, Schwabach and Fürth also had
a value over 200
according to
RKI information
.
The districts of Wunsiedel in the Fichtelgebirge, Bayreuth, Lichtenfels, Passau, Roth, Berchtesgadener Land, Kronach, Deggendorf, Tirschenreuth, Coburg, Unterallgäu, Ebersberg, Miesbach and Donau-Ries are also located above the mark.
If the incidence is above 200, stricter measures against the coronavirus will take effect. * Excursions are then only possible within a radius of 15 kilometers *.

Video: Corona regional - The update for Bavaria
Corona in Bavaria: fear of virus mutations - is there an even harder lockdown?
The Free State and all of Germany may face an even harder lockdown.
The reason is probably the fear of the corona mutations spreading. * "We need more test sites that can detect the mutation," said Bavaria's Prime Minister
Markus Söder
(CSU) to the newspapers of the
Funke media group.
According to information from
Business Insider
, the federal and state governments should, at the request of Chancellor Angela Merkel *,
bring
forward
their advice on
extending the lockdown
by one week.
Originally January 25th was planned.
The summit will probably take place on Tuesday.
According to the report, a new
contact rule is
under discussion.
According to this, only meetings with a permanent person outside of one's own household should be allowed in the future for an as yet indefinite period.
So far, you can only meet one person, but you can ultimately meet friends from different households.
The 1-friend rule could thus become the 1-friend rule
, as
Business Insider
reports.
Greater protection factor in everyday life: With FFP2 masks you protect others and yourself much better.

Corona lockdown in Germany: Merkel wanted even stricter rules
However, it is unclear how this rule could be implemented.
"That's nonsense,"
the report says from the countries.
As research by the magazine has shown, Merkel * wanted to tighten the rule even before the last summit, although initially no meetings with other households were planned.
However, this failed due to the resistance of the federal states.
There is also an FFP2 mask requirement as it applies in Bavaria from Monday *.
The proposal is capable of consensus, provided that enough masks are available, it is said.
Read here where the FFP2 mask could become mandatory outside of Bavaria *.
Mask bottlenecks could also threaten in some regions.
