learning
in
distance
lessons.
Homeschooling is initially valid for two weeks.
Before the students return, all should be tested.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder raises allegations - and names the culprits of the disaster with the corona vaccine
First report from January 29, 11:09 a.m .:
Munich - Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * has
sharply criticized
the
European Union
.
He accused the EU of errors in the fight against the corona pandemic *.
The vaccine * was ordered too late and there were only a few
manufacturers
, said the CSU * boss on Friday in the ZDF "morning magazine".
The result has so far been unsatisfactory.
“The operational responsibility lay in Europe,”
Söder stated.
The fundamental importance was underestimated.
Söder renews corona vaccination criticism: "Underestimated in some places at the beginning"
In Germany, a few weeks after the start of vaccination, there is now a point where the quantities ordered are not arriving and
vaccinations are being
postponed.
“It's a very, very uncertain situation for such an important topic.
And I think that in Germany it was underestimated in some places at the beginning, ”said Söder.
Now what is needed is “maximum transparency” when dealing with problems.
Söder welcomed the
federal and state vaccination summit
on Monday.
It is now a matter of getting more vaccine * faster.
"It cannot be that such a large continent, which is so economically strong and has so many large
pharmaceutical companies
, cannot produce more than just one plant that is about to start up in Marburg." said Söder.
Will the corona lockdown be relaxed in February?
Söder is skeptical: "I don't think ..."
He was skeptical about
easing the corona measures *, which
are limited
to
mid-February
.
“I am not convinced that everything will be canceled on the 14th.
I don't think it's the time for great relaxation. ”Mutation * and premature relaxation are“ a toxic combination, ”says Söder.
Video: AstraZeneca - vaccine and manufacturer under criticism
Corona: Vaccination is only progressing slowly - Söder expresses criticism in Markus Lanz's ZDF talk show
Already in
Markus Lanz's ZDF talk show
, on which Söder was connected by video on Wednesday evening, he criticized the slow vaccination in Germany. * "The
vaccination logistics are
actually in Germany.
(...) Whatever vaccine is there is inoculated, ”he explained and criticized that apparently too little was ordered.
"Overall, the picture is really not a good one," he admitted to Lanz.
Many vaccine manufacturers would openly say that
Europe
ordered too late and will therefore also be late.
According to Söder, it looks like a classic European award and appointment process has been carried out.
Often, the calculations are tight and the prices are paid attention to.
“It's a safe and good practice in normal times,” he said.
In
times of need
it is difficult to do so.
Söder criticized that it was possible that they were too focused on individual vaccines.
For his vaccination criticism, Söder had already caught a counterattack from Ludwig Hartmann, the parliamentary group leader of the Greens, on Wednesday (January 27).
"Söder's vaccination review is a cheap embarrassment," was the allegation.
"
Of all people,
the man who has
wanted to be the face of German corona policy with all his might
since the
beginning of the pandemic
and who has pushed himself broadly in front of the microphones of the
capital's
press
when announcing new measures
, cowardly pushes himself aside when he
is supposed to
share
responsibility
for that what's going wrong.
He is not only prime minister and, as CSU chairman, part of the federal government, but also has the chairman of the largest EU parliamentary group on hand with his party friend Manfred Weber, ”criticized Ludwig Hartmann in an interview with
Merkur.de
.
According to him, Söder could have worked actively to
build up
production capacities
for more vaccines in this country.
“He didn't do that, but rather gave
press conferences and
Bild
newspaper
interviews
.”
