The corona situation remains tense, but the seven-day incidence in Munich is falling almost constantly.

Will there be easing soon?

All news in the ticker for Bavaria.

  • The corona situation in Bavaria remains tense.

  • In Munich, there is a trend in the seven-day incidence * (see initial report)

  • Bavaria is canceling the "free night" - there will be controls (see update from April 29, 11.50 am).

  • This news ticker is updated regularly.

Update from April 29, 11.50 a.m.:

The nightly exit restriction in Bavaria's Corona hotspots with incidences over 100 also applies on the night of May 1. "The Bavarian police will increasingly monitor compliance with the night curfew on Friday." This was announced by Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) on Thursday in Munich. This year too, the free night fun will unfortunately have to be canceled almost everywhere in the Free State due to the corona.



Herrmann referred to the regulation according to which in rural districts and urban districts with a seven-day incidence of more than 100 people are prohibited from staying outside an apartment or their own property from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

"Corona does not stop at jokers," said Herrmann.

Parents also have to ensure that their children adhere to the corona rules.

Failure to comply could result in a fine of 500 euros.



The night from April 30th to May 1st is also called Freinacht in Bavaria.

That night, young people roam the streets in many places and do all sorts of pranks.

New corona numbers give hope - soon no more emergency brake in Munich?

First report from April 29, 9:18 a.m .:

Munich - The Corona * numbers remain high in Bavaria. Although Bavarian cities are no longer at the top of the Germany-wide hotspot list, they are still in the top 10. The front runner in the Free State is the city of Hof with a seven-day incidence of 296.8. That is the seventh highest incidence in all of Germany. The districts of Rottal-Inn (290.5) and Dingolfing-Landau (285.5) follow in ninth and eleventh place. For all of Bavaria, the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI) reported a value of 161.0 on Thursday.

The incidence in the state capital Munich is 131.6 (previous day: 130.3).

On Tuesday the value was 140.8, the day before 146.8.

If this trend continues, Munich is likely to fall below the limit of 100 again in the foreseeable future.

This would mean that all mechanisms of the "emergency brake" would fall.

This also includes the nightly curfew.

Söder announces new corona rules for Bavaria: "Vaccination shows the way out of the crisis"

On Tuesday, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder announced new Corona * rules for the Free State.

You can find an overview here. * On Twitter, he said: “Bavaria relies on a mix of caution and perspective.

There is no reason to let up on our course now.

We want to extend vaccination to families and businesses.

Flexible vaccination shows the way out of the crisis. "

Special rules apply from Wednesday (April 28) for “completely vaccinated people”, as stated in the notification from the Bavarian State Chancellery.

People who have received two corona vaccinations * are therefore treated the same as people who tested negative.

Anyone who has been vaccinated twice and “has almost zero risk must be restored to their central basic rights”, Söder explained at the press conference on Tuesday.

The fundamental rights should be returned as soon as possible

Before equating recovered corona patients with those who have been completely vaccinated - clarify "open questions"

According to Health Minister Klaus Holetschek, however, it is not yet possible to equate recovered corona patients with those who have been completely vaccinated due to unresolved technical issues.

"Before we open other areas of daily life for those who have recovered, we want to discuss the open questions with the federal and state governments in the interests of infection protection." The CSU * politician said of the German Press Agency in Munich.

This includes, for example, when an illness is considered to be over and how a surviving illness can best be proven.



Demands for immediate equality, such as those formulated by the Free Voters, "are therefore a little premature and hasty," said Holetschek.

"As soon as the database for the relief is available, we will make a decision."

New corona rules in Bavaria: "Big step towards more normality and freedom"

"The responsible handling of civil rights and civil liberties is an important concern for us that we take very seriously," emphasized Holetschek.

That is why the cabinet decided this week that those who were completely vaccinated should have the same rights as those who tested negative.

You no longer have to present a negative test when you visit the hairdresser, for example.

“This is a big step towards more normalcy and freedom.

I am optimistic that more will follow as soon as possible. "



Of course, people who have survived a corona infection would also have a certain degree of immunization. “But it is also correct that there are still unanswered questions, especially about the level and duration of immunity. In these questions, we rely on the expertise of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), which has already commented on the quarantine obligation of close contact persons who have recovered from COVID-19 disease. "



Bavaria is already implementing a recommendation by the RKI. "There is therefore no quarantine for immune-healthy close contacts who have recovered from a PCR-confirmed infection and who have been vaccinated with a dose of vaccine and for immune-healthy close contacts whose infection was not more than six months ago," said Holetschek.
