Germany has been

in lockdown

since mid-December

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

was

extended nationwide

on

January 19th

and is now valid until February

.

What is currently valid in Bavaria, which new rule is there?

An

overview.

Corona lockdown in Bavaria: surprising rule exception for schools

Schools remain

in distance teaching

due to the

lockdown extension

.

But there is one exception: for high school graduates who are about to take their final exams this year, alternating lessons can take place from February 1, “if the infection rate allows it”.

The same applies to students at vocational schools where final exams or chamber examinations take place soon.

This was announced by Prime Minister Markus Söder on Wednesday (January 20).

Also new: In the future, visitors to church services in Bavaria will have to

wear

an

FFP2 mask

.

The cabinet also decided on Wednesday.

Corona lockdown in Bavaria: FFP2 mask requirement - this rule applies from Monday (January 18)

Also new from Monday (January 18) is the FFP2 mask requirement.

All persons aged 15 and over must

wear

an

FFP2 mask

when using local public transport or 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

, i.e. 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.
