For days, Munich was below the important Corona limit value of 50, now the city has exceeded the incidence.
This also has consequences for the relaxation that will apply from today.
Munich has torn an important limit - and is still above it on Monday (see update from March 8, 7.55 a.m.).
In 13 Bavarian districts there have been noticeable easing of the corona measures since Monday (see update from March 7th, 5.40 p.m.).
Markus Söder has spoken out in favor of loosening the “rigid vaccination protocol” (see update from March 8th, 3:01 pm).
This news ticker is updated regularly.
Update from March 8, 8:20 p.m.:
The corona virus has struck in Warngau: It caught Mayor Klaus Thurnhuber (57), among others.
This was already vaccinated against the virus.
On February 23, he had received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Update from March 8, 5:37 p.m.:
Despite the federal government's announcement that it will pay all citizens a weekly rapid corona test starting Monday, these were not available in many Bavarian pharmacies today.
Although the state government has already received several million rapid tests and, according to its own statements, has passed 4.6 million tests on to the municipalities, the free offer in some municipal test centers will not start until later.
The actual need for rapid tests in Bavaria is estimated at around 10 million rapid tests per month, according to a spokesman for the Ministry of Health.
More deliveries would be made soon.
Free corona rapid tests in Bavaria: pharmacists lack the "starting shot"
So far, however, rapid tests are only available in a third of the municipal test centers, said the ministry spokesman.
Many Bavarian pharmacists were also waiting for the revised Corona test regulation to be published on Monday.
"The starting shot is actually missing," said the spokesman for the Bavarian Pharmacists' Association (BAV), Thomas Metz, on Monday morning in Munich.
Without the regulation, there would be a lack of clarity about how much the federal government would pay the pharmacies for each rapid test.
Although it cannot be ruled out that individual pharmacies will make advance payments and offer rapid tests free of charge, rapid tests are currently only possible for self-payers.
“But it doesn't seem to be developing too much,” said Metz.
He does not expect any bottlenecks in the deliveries that have been ordered.
Almost parallel to the rapid pharmacy tests, lay self-tests for use at home have also been available since Saturday.
The rush in the discounters was great.
Update from March 8th, 3:01 p.m .:
Markus Söder has spoken out in favor of loosening the “rigid vaccination protocol” soon and giving young people access to vaccines.
This could soon also apply to students at universities, as Söder
said
on Monday, according to
dpa
.
From April on, teachers in Bavaria who do not work in primary schools will also be vaccinated.
Bavaria's Prime Minister also wants to redistribute more vaccine in hotspots, for example on the border with the Czech Republic.
Commuters could also be eligible for vaccinations.
He had given the EU to understand: "We need more vaccine for the hotspots," said Söder.
"If the vaccine comes and more comes - and a lot more comes - then you have to spread it out," said Söder.
General practitioners, company doctors and school doctors would then also have to be involved.
Söder leads children and youth conference in Bavaria: Schoolchildren should be supported
Update from March 8, 2:16 p.m.:
In the morning, Markus Söder led a children and youth conference.
At the subsequent press conference, he and the ministers Carolina Trautner and Michael Piazolo presented how one wants to support students in the future in the corona crisis.
Opening youth centers is not planned despite the demands of the Bavarian youth ring.
The mutation worries, as Trautner explained.
To make additional openings when the incidence increases, "makes no sense," added the CSU boss.
Söder also mentioned the city of Munich at the press conference.
The value in the state capital had been stable for a long time, even close to the limit of 35. Now the numbers would go up, however.
On Monday the value was 54.2 (see update from 7.55 a.m.).
Corona / Bavaria: Free rapid tests are not available in many Bavarian pharmacies
Update from March 8, 1:31 p.m
.: Free corona rapid tests were not available in many pharmacies in the Free State on Monday - despite the federal government's announcement that all citizens will be paid a weekly rapid test from this date.
“The starting shot is actually missing,” said the spokesman for the Bavarian Pharmacists' Association, Thomas Metz, on Monday morning in Munich.
"We are currently waiting for the revised Corona test regulation to be published in the Federal Gazette," emphasized Metz.
Therefore, there is a lack of clarity about how much the federal government pays the pharmacies for each rapid test.
Although it cannot be ruled out that individual pharmacies made advance payments on Monday and offer quick tests free of charge, this is currently only possible for self-payers.
“But it doesn't seem to be developing too much,” said Metz.
How many of the around 3,000 public pharmacies in Bavaria will offer free rapid tests in the coming days cannot be reliably estimated, emphasized Metz.
The German Pharmacists Association reckons with ten percent of all pharmacies nationwide.
“But we need our own room and our own specialist, including protective equipment, for these tests,” said Metz.
“That is not something that can be done on the side.” However, he did not expect any bottlenecks in the delivery by the manufacturer, emphasized Metz.
"The market situation is good."
Update from March 8th, 11:57 am

Corona lockdown in Bavaria - noticeable easing in 13 districts
Update from March 7, 5:40 p.m.:
In 13 Bavarian districts, the corona restrictions will be noticeably relaxed from tomorrow, Monday (March 8) - in some places, however, almost everything will remain as usual.
The Bavarian Ministry of Health published the list of what applies where on Sunday.
The number of new infections is decisive for this.
Prime Minister Markus Söder said at a meeting with the CSU district executive in Niederbayern on Saturday that it was necessary to wait and see the development: “In the next two weeks it will be decided whether we will have an Easter holiday or an Easter lockdown”.
He rejected criticism of his previous course, but he promised to provide additional vaccine for the particularly badly affected areas in Eastern Bavaria, the incidences of which are particularly high - probably due to their proximity to the Czech Republic.
Corona in Bavaria: Children and youth conference on Monday - clear demand for the benefit of the little ones
Before a children and youth conference with Söder on Monday, the Bavarian Youth Ring (BJR) demanded the immediate opening of
youth clubs, youth centers and youth centers.
"The pain threshold has been exceeded," said BJR President Matthias Fack.
“Young people now urgently need a perspective.
It is disappointing that the young people did not appear in the latest resolutions. ”Meanwhile,
large Bavarian companies are preparing for corona vaccinations by the company doctors.
Almost 200 companies have already registered with the Association of Bavarian Business.
According to Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU), 1.8 million vaccine doses should be available in April.
Update from March 7th, 1:26 p.m.:
Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder has
rejected
criticism from the CSU district executive in Lower Bavaria of the ongoing closure of large parts of the retail trade and gastronomy.
As the CSU boss said at a district board meeting on Saturday, their hygiene concepts “only work with a low incidence.” Söder also confirmed his opinion on the Easter holidays.
We have to wait and see the development: “In the next two weeks it will be decided whether we will have an Easter holiday or an Easter lockdown,” said Söder.
He promised to provide additional vaccine for Eastern Bavaria.
CSU district chief Andreas Scheuer demanded: "Eastern Bavaria has to become a special corridor because of its location on the border with the Czech Republic." The 50,000 additional vaccine doses promised by the state government for the border region with the Czech Republic are a first step, but additional deliveries are necessary.
"In addition, we need flexibility in the question of who we can vaccinate with it," said the Federal Minister of Transport.
Söder said that he would like to leave this decision to the district administrators.
Because of the infections from the Czech Republic, there is no easing in Eastern Bavaria, "to the detriment of schools, trade, gastronomy and the hotel industry," said the Lower Bavarian district council spokesman, Freyung-Grafenau district administrator Sebastian Gruber.
