Markus Söder answered questions from the younger generation in an interview on Instagram.
He gave a forecast for travel in the summer vacation.
Economics Minister Aiwanger anticipates a wave of bankruptcies for Bavaria because of the corona measures (update from February 3, 2:35 p.m.).
The lockdown in Bavaria seems to be having an effect.
The incidence in Munich continues to decrease (update from February 3, 11:20 a.m.).
Here you can find the current case numbers in the Free State * as a map.
This news ticker is updated regularly.
Update from February 3, 8:10 p.m.:
Nuremberg was one of the first cities in Bavaria to set up a corona rapid test center.
This should make it possible to react more quickly to mutations. * Meanwhile, a Nuremberg souvenir dealer is causing a stir with a poster.
He compares the Corona measures with the Nazi era.
The city is shocked - and powerless. *
Update from February 3, 2:35 p.m.:
Nuremberg Airport * is creative ways to employ its employees.
Because not much is going on in times of the corona pandemic, employees have started to give the health department a helping hand.
For two months now they have been helping to inform those who have tested positive and their contact persons and to issue their quarantine confirmations.
The airport announced on Wednesday that other employees are helping to renovate the cargo center.
Usually outside companies would be used for the extensive painting work.
In the Corona crisis, however, the airport can fall back on its own employees.
Meanwhile, Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) reaffirmed his demand for “opening perspectives” for trade, hairdressers and other closed businesses after February 14th.
Both he and the Bavarian Chamber of Industry and Crafts assume that, regardless of government aid, many companies will "soon run out of air".
Aiwanger assume a wave of bankruptcies in larger and smaller companies if the lockdown continues so restrictively for longer.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder in conversation with DSDS juror Mike Singer
Update from February 3, 11:20 a.m.:
Prime Minister Markus Söder was available to answer questions from DSDS juror Mike Singer for half an hour.
The content of their conversation on the social media platform Instagram was vaccination against corona.
Despite the singer's noticeable excitement and numerous picture and sound dropouts, Singer was able to have some of his followers' questions answered by the Bavarian state chief.
In any case, Söder was not responsible for the connection disruptions, as he emphasized.
When the announcement, “I'm sitting here in the State Chancellery, everything is set up perfectly and if it doesn't work out, there will be trouble with the Prime Minister”, followed a malicious look at the employees behind the camera.
The question that most likely preoccupied the young Singer fans was the vaccination options for the younger generation.
Söder even gave the viewers hope in this regard.
Since the vaccine from AstraZeneca was only approved for under 64-year-olds, the Standing Vaccination Commission (Stiko) could soon propose it for younger people.
"Young people should get their freedom back soon," said Söder, adding, "We would like to go more comfortable, but there aren't any".
The head of the country also cleared up concerns about long-term vaccination damage.
With Corona there are these long-term consequences, with vaccines they are relatively unlikely.
"Aspirin also has side effects if you look at the package insert."

“Will it be possible to travel again during the summer vacation?” Asked another fan of the DSDS jurors.
It will probably not be the same as it was before Corona, "but probably more is possible than now," Söder cautiously formulated his answer.
Singer wanted to know whether Söder would also be vaccinated.
The Bavarian regional chief answered that with a resounding yes.
“Vaccination is the best protection against all epidemics.
I have been vaccinated against everything since I was a child. ”But he will only be vaccinated when it is his turn, says Söder.
Corona: Positive numbers from Bavaria's capital
In addition to all the discussions about the vaccination problems in Bavaria, good news came from Munich today *.
The city is about to hit the all-important 7-day incidence * of 50. The health department today reported an incidence of 51.7 to the Robert Koch Institute.
However, it is unlikely that this encouraging figure will lead to easing.
The incidence value of 50 does not generally entail relaxation: "That is not automatically the number at which you can do everything again as before," said Landeschef Söder before the most recent meeting of the CSU board.
Corona: Bavaria's vaccination centers are barely busy
Original notification: Munich
- The 100 vaccination centers in Bavaria have been ready since mid-December 2020.
The coronavirus * should be put to an end there.
But not much has happened yet.
Some have not yet given a single dose of vaccine.
However, what they all have in common - they generate costs.
And plenty of it.
And while there is hardly any improvement in the supply of vaccination doses and the utilization of the vaccination centers for the coming weeks, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) is looking for vaccination promoters among the German celebrities.
Corona vaccination in Bavaria: vaccination centers cause enormous costs
In the Swabian district of Aichach-Friedberg, there is a lonely and deserted vaccination center in an industrial area near a main road.
It has been operational since December 15th.
A requirement of the federal government, as the Bavarian Ministry of Health emphasizes.
Everything should be ready when the vaccinations * start.
The first vaccination in the center between Aichach and Dasing was given yesterday (February 2nd).
For a month and a half, nothing happened in the fight against the coronavirus *.
On the contrary.
According to
br24.de
, the daily bill from the private operator to the district office is 15,500 euros.
A total of three quarters of a million euros has now come together.
And the Aichach-Friedberg vaccination center is not the only one in Bavaria where costs were incurred but not vaccinated.
The Bavarian Ministry of Health has not yet been able to quantify the exact amount that has been raised so far.
And it is also unclear how many of the 444,000 vaccine doses * administered (as of February 3) were vaccinated in a center or by mobile teams in old people's and nursing homes.
A ministry spokesman said there is currently no detailed survey.
The Bavarian government has budgeted 100 million euros for the entire vaccination strategy.
That means one million euros per vaccination center.
However, these should be operated at least until summer in order to be able to offer the whole population a vaccination.
With the costs incurred so far, it is hard to imagine that the money will last until then.
Corona vaccination in Bavaria: Söder gives singer Mike Singer in an interview on Instagram
It is also not clear why Bavaria has advanced so much in terms of vaccination centers.
Other federal states interpreted the requirement from Berlin differently.
So far, only vaccination teams have been on the road in NRW.
The vaccination centers are "basically ready for use", according to the Ministry of Health.
The first vaccinations will probably not be given until next week.
In addition, no private companies were entrusted with the management of the vaccination centers.
In Bavaria, however, there are 26 centers under private management.
In addition, there are 42 centers operated by a local BRK association (Bavarian Red Cross).

Markus Söder will talk to singer Mike Singer about vaccination on Wednesday on Instagram.

While the vaccination * against the corona virus in Bavaria is starting more than slowly, the state boss is already looking for prominent vaccination supporters.
On Wednesday (February 3rd) he wants to give an interview to the singer Mike Singer on the social media platform Instagram.
He was sick with Covid-19 last year and has been campaigning for the vaccination against Corona since then.
So while Söder continues to issue his slogan that “vaccination is the only strategy out of the pandemic”, his vaccination centers are orphaned because the manufacturers continue to have to wait for regular deliveries.
