In Munich, the seven-day incidence is falling almost constantly.

There is now a surprising exception to the corona curfew.

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 update from April 30, 6:02 a.m.).

  • Company from Bavaria is developing a corona test robot (see update from April 29, 6:59 p.m.).

  • Hunting is allowed despite the curfew at night (see update from April 30th, 12:56 p.m.).

  • This news ticker is updated regularly.

Update from April 30, 12:56 p.m.:

Hunting is allowed despite the night curfew. The Bavarian State Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry confirmed this on Friday when asked. The practice of hunting hoofed game during the night curfew is therefore an exception.



This will ensure "effective hunting" of roebucks and narrow lathes as well as wild boar, according to the justification in a letter from the ministry. The care of injured game is also a reason to be able to leave the apartment during the night curfew.



Hunting and working in the hunting ground in rural districts and urban districts in which a seven-day incidence of 100 is exceeded is only permitted with members of the household and one other person.



If the seven-day incidence is between 35 and 100, a maximum of five people from your own household and from another household may participate.

Children under 14 years of age are excluded from the total.

Corona: are easing measures imminent in Munich?

Trend continues 

Update from April 30th, 6:02 a.m.:

If the top 10 of the German corona hotspots were last almost half from Bavarian cities and districts, there is only one among them with the Rottal-Inn district.

The incidence there is 283.9, which is tenth place in Germany.

The city of Hof (275.0) - at times the front runner - is “only” in 16th place.

Meanwhile, a trend is continuing in the state capital - the incidence is falling.

On Friday it is 127.9.

The day before, the value in Munich was 131.6, before that it was 130.3 and 140.8.

The Robert Koch Institute reports an incidence of 154.5 for the entire Free State (previous day: 161.0).

Update from April 29th, 6:59 p.m.:

Nowadays there are machines for many tasks that do the work - why not also with corona tests. That was probably what the developers at the Bavarian robot company Franka Emika thought. On Thursday they presented their prototype to the chairman of the future council of Bavarian economy, Wolfram Hatz. The robot is intended to make direct contact between the person to be tested and the medical staff unnecessary. According to the Association of Bavarian Business, it is the first system for automated corona swabs with worldwide approval as a medical product.

The particularly pressure-sensitive robot arm takes over the smear.

A test island equipped with three arms should enable up to 60 tests of constant quality per hour.

"Franka Emika is a great example of how we can fight the corona pandemic with high-tech from Bavaria," said Hatz.

"We have to fully exploit our excellent innovation potential in order to get through the crisis better and to make the location more resilient for the future."

Corona virus in Bavaria: Söder is cautiously optimistic due to the falling number of infections

Update from April 29, 1.30 p.m.:

In the coming week, Bavaria wants to equate recovered corona patients with those who have been completely vaccinated and those who have tested negative.

"Next week we will bring the equality of convalescence on the way," said Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) on Thursday in Munich.

This week, the cabinet had equated twice vaccinated with negative tested

(see first report)

.

Despite the slightly declining number of corona infections in Bavaria, Söder warned against hasty easing debates.

The trend is


positive, but there is still no reason to stop.

"It is developing, but it is far from over." Bavaria is still on a very long home straight.

In addition, there is still a need for "full throttle" with vaccinations by quickly giving up prioritization and swift vaccination in companies, said the Prime Minister.

In this way, the mobilization can be increased and also new perspectives for the economy can be created.

To the address of the coalition partner in Bavaria, the Free Voters, Söder emphasized: The incidence in the country is falling slightly, not by leaps and bounds.

Therefore, the "outdoor pool season" cannot yet be opened.

The Free Voters see the beginning of a summer in every ray of hope, the CSU does not share this view.

Corona in Bavaria: Night-time exit restrictions also apply in the "free night" on May 1st

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.
