Munich

- The corona situation in Bavaria is still tense.

The Free State is moving more towards the third wave than towards the opening and end of the lockdown *.

The 7-day incidence value on Friday (March 19) was above 100 for the first time in a long time (RKI: 100.8).

41 districts and cities have already exceeded this value.

Further openings in culture and gastronomy were put on hold by the Ministry of Health on Thursday.

Now it could be uncomfortable for schools and retailers too.

Corona in Bavaria: 10,000 businesses could go bankrupt

Only in four districts and cities in Bavaria is it possible to shop largely undisturbed.

The incidence there is still below 50. Otherwise, the “Click & Meet” procedure applies in many places.

If the incidence is over 100, neither is possible anymore.

The managing director of the Bavarian Trade Association, Bernd Ohlmann, therefore sees dark times approaching the business.

In view of the ongoing restrictions, he now fears up to 10,000 business tasks due to the corona pandemic * in the Bavarian retail sector.

That is why both Ohlmann and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) stressed on Friday that the economy needed opening strategies above the incidence threshold of 100.

"Other criteria such as the utilization of the health system or the protection of vulnerable population groups through vaccinations * or rapid tests * were disregarded," said the minister.

"We have to be careful not to change the mood among the population."

Coronavirus in Bavaria: Philologists Association criticizes test chaos in schools

Schools are also affected, with an incidence of over 100.

In many counties and cities, many students have therefore returned to distance learning.

Daycare centers have resumed emergency operations.

Wherever there is still alternating instruction, safety should be guaranteed with quick and self-tests.

The Bavarian Philologists Association (BPV) criticized the test chaos in Bavarian schools.

The teachers felt left alone after the state government announced that it would subject students to a voluntary corona self-test before class began.

And the Bavarian SPD also jumped on the bandwagon.

She called for more “courage for creative concepts”.

"We have had rapid tests since autumn, and recently even self-tests that would make something more possible without risking too much," said Secretary General Uli Grötsch.

"But in Bavaria it doesn't even work to establish a sensible test concept in schools."

Corona vaccination summit: Söder happy about additional vaccine delivery

One means that could lead to more normalcy would be vaccinations *.

Astrazeneca vaccine has been inoculated again in Bavaria since Friday.

In addition, Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) met with the Prime Minister at the vaccination summit in Berlin to discuss a vaccination strategy.

The Chancellor then announced at a press conference that family and company doctors should also be involved in the vaccination from the week after Easter.

“At the beginning, the medical practices are requested to vaccinate immobile persons and persons with previous illnesses first.

At the beginning, deliveries will be rather low with 1,000,000 cans per week, ”said Merkel.

It was also decided that federal states with border regions to risk areas should receive additional vaccination doses.

Bavaria will get another 100,000 units due to its proximity to the Czech Republic.

Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) then commented on this on Twitter.

“Good signal at the vaccination summit with the federal and state governments: Bavaria is getting the promised 100,000 extra doses of vaccine for the border regions.

General practitioners and company doctors are also involved earlier.

We need more flexibility and speed when vaccinating. ”
