Corona in Bavaria: Söder ministers find the federal emergency brake "a bit strange" and adopt stricter rules

Bavaria wants to implement the federal emergency brake more sharply than other countries. Schools should continue to switch to distance learning at a seven-day incidence of 100, not just 165.


Bavaria wants to implement the federal emergency brake more sharply than other countries.

Munich

- Back and forth about the emergency brake: Today the Bundestag wants to pass the law with which nationwide uniform rules for areas with many Corona * infections are lashed.

Bavaria was very much behind forcing the other countries to follow a strict and uniform course.

The Free State itself is now deviating on one very important detail: the rules for schools remain stricter.

Corona emergency brake in Bavaria: rules for schools remain stricter

The federal emergency brake stipulates that schools must switch to distance teaching from a regional seven-day incidence * of 165.

That would be more generous than the Bavarian regulation, where an incidence of 100 is the upper limit (measured on Friday), and above that only grades 4, 11 and 12 can come to school in the alternate or at best hybrid model.

Bavaria won't let its upper limit be softened.

"Bavaria is sticking to the previously valid and therefore stricter regulation," says State Chancellery Minister Florian Herrmann (CSU) to our editorial team.

“We owe that to the health of our students.” Herrmann refers to the high incidence rates among children and adolescents.

It is precisely for this reason that “we will maintain the course of prudence and caution”.

Corona rules in Bavaria: Söder ministers find the incidence limit of 165 confusing

The Ministry of Education, led by free voters, had not yet committed itself to the issue.

In the CSU, Prime Minister Markus Söder * insists on a strict line and sees no room for relaxation.

His ministers also consider the surprising number of 165 in the federal draft to be confusing.

Health Minister Klaus Holetschek mocked this week.

165 is considered a compromise between 200 and 100 negotiated politically in Berlin.

According to the previous plan, the countries will be banned from loosening the rules of the emergency brake.

However, being stricter than the federal government is allowed.

In many other details of the emergency brake, the problem does not arise for Bavaria: Among other things, with the exit restrictions or the FFP2 mask requirement, the federal plans are exactly in line with the previous rules from the Bavarian Infection Protection Ordinance.
