Corona in Bavaria: The call for indoor catering to be opened is loud
Since the middle of May it has been possible again to enjoy your roast pork or wheat beer outdoors in Bavaria with a stable incidence of less than 100. Outdoor catering has successfully resumed operations under strict regulations and hygiene rules. Angela Inselkammer, President of the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association (Dehoga), thinks the time has come to talk about opening up indoor catering. "Experience has shown that our operations are safe," said a press release on Wednesday.
For vaccinated, convalescent and tested people, all offers of the hospitality industry should be available - regardless of the incidence - according to Inselkammer.
"In view of such low incidence values, we must also dare to return to normality as quickly as possible without corona tests * as in the phase after the first lockdown."
Coronavirus in Bavaria: waiting time for openings reduced by one day
If the state government were to accept this demand and reopen the indoor catering, this could also be implemented more quickly in the future.
The Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) said on Wednesday that the procedure, which was tried out at Pentecost, of moving openings one day early in the event of a low incidence, is to be retained even after the holidays.
They have had good experiences with it.
This change affects, among other things, the tourism, gastronomy and cultural sectors and also the elimination of the obligation to test above certain incidence values.
Previously, a certain incidence limit had to be fallen below for five days at a time.
Then there was a waiting period of two days.
From the eighth day onwards, it was allowed to relax.
This is now possible from the seventh day.
The waiting time has been shortened.
"Openings from day seven are another important step towards normality," said Holetschek.
"I am pleased that the falling number of infections enables further relief."
In Bavaria, vaccinations against corona are now to be increased in socially disadvantaged areas
In terms of vaccination *, Bavaria now wants to become more social. Immunization is now to be increased, especially in socially disadvantaged areas. “It is our job to support the weakest in our society. We therefore have to reach people in need and socially disadvantaged people with the vaccination and protect them from the coronavirus *, ”said Health Minister Holetschek on Wednesday. “As planned, the Free State is therefore providing 6000 vaccination doses from Johnson & Johnson * for special vaccination campaigns.” The aim is to reach people on site with mobile teams based on the vaccination centers.
It started on Wednesday at the table in Augsburg *. “The municipalities know best where there is a need on site, for example in which districts of the city. Local social institutions, social welfare offices, integration advisory boards, associations and religious communities, among others, offer them support, ”said the Minister of Health. The boards are also an important point of contact. Holetschek is supported by his CSU colleagues, Social Affairs Minister Carolina Trautner and Augsburg's Mayor Eva Weber. With the additional vaccination offer, you take into account people who have difficulty using regular vaccination and test offers, says Trautner.
