Corona in Bavaria: does the mask requirement fall?
Holetschek remains cautious in the BR
Update from June 13, 7:08 p.m.:
The corona infections are falling, the temperatures are rising.
This leads to a debate about the mask requirement in Germany.
The votes for abolition will always be, but Bavaria's Minister of Health remains cautious.
Klaus Holetschek (CSU) spoke to the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation about the new debate.
All corona measures are constantly being re-evaluated in Bavaria, so demands from Berlin are not necessary.
Previously, Federal Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) had called for the measures to be constantly re-examined.
Holetschek expressed understanding for all those people who longed for further relaxation.
However, the minister went on to say that one is not in a “competition for over-bidding”.
"The outside areas are certainly to be assessed differently than inside," says Holetschek, who agreed that each situation must always be viewed individually.
Coronavirus: Bavaria's seven-day incidence is 20.6 - hotspots are in the Free State

The seven-day incidence in Bavaria is 20.6. This is based on figures from the Robert Koch Institute (as of 3.11 a.m.). The previous day the value was 22.

In contrast, the value remains low in the state capital: The RKI reports an incidence of 18.3 for Munich. The day before it was 20.
Update from June 12, 5.46 p.m.: The
Rhön-Grabenfeld district in Lower Franconia calls for no mask requirement on the square or outdoors for primary school students.
However, the government of Lower Franconia is thwarting the plans.
She refused the request.
The district announced on Saturday.
This means that the mask requirement will continue to apply from Monday, according to a spokeswoman.
High temperatures and regular corona tests would make wearing a mask obsolete
District Administrator Thomas Habermann (CSU) justified the demand with the stable, low incidence values in his region.
The RKI gave an incidence of 8.8 for the district of Rhön-Grabenfeld on Saturday.
In addition, there are regular tests for the students, says Habermann.
The summer temperatures are an additional burden for the children with masks.
The politicians of the Free Voters (FW) see this in a similar way to Habermann.
Minister of Education Michael Piazolo also wants to refrain from the mask requirement due to the falling numbers.
Just like his party leader Hubert Aiwanger.
The FW boss underlined that again on Saturday.
However, the coalition partner CSU has so far made no move to change anything in the regulation.

), one region is currently
causing

Corona in Bavaria: Lindau district with the highest incidence in Germany - Hardly any infection in schools
In the meantime, the district on Lake Constance has announced that there is no "diffuse" infection process.
"It is limited to a few known outbreaks in family associations and (seven) asylum seekers' shelters," said a statement on Friday.
There were hardly any infections in schools either, "but these are individual cases that could be isolated at an early stage".
The second Germany-wide hotspot, Schweinfurt, is also in Bavaria.
Here the incidence on Saturday is 74.9.
First report from June 12, 1.30 p.m.: Munich
- The incidence in the Free State is currently not making big leaps.

Corona: Incidence in Munich is below the Bavarian average - digital vaccination pass starts
The situation in the Bavarian capital looks similar: with a value of 20 (previous day 20.1), Munich is even below the nationwide incidence.
There is also progress in terms of corona vaccination *: From next week, the digital vaccination certificate will be available step by step, including in pharmacies.
Bavaria's Minister of Health, Klaus Holetschek, believes that a bumpy start is possible.
“There could be one problem or another in the process.
There will always be mistakes, only if you don't do anything you won't do anything wrong, ”says the CSU politician of the newspaper
“ Main-Echo ”
.
When it comes to digital proof of vaccination, there are different groups.
Holetschek: “Anyone who is vaccinated in the vaccination centers will
now receive the necessary certificate directly.
The technical prerequisites are given. "
Corona in Bavaria: Digital vaccination pass - "Everyone should get a certificate quickly and easily"
For those who have already been vaccinated in a vaccination center, there should be access to the certificate via a "sister website of BayIMCO" (the Bavarian vaccination portal). For everyone else, the route should lead via hotlines, pharmacies and doctors' offices. "Our claim: Everyone should be able to get the certificate as quickly and easily as possible in order to be able to upload it to the two apps CovPass or the Corona warning app," emphasized the Minister of Health.
Digital vaccination pass or not: the yellow vaccination booklet remains valid. "My 89-year-old mother would never have been able to register digitally for the vaccination - I did that for her, as did many relatives of the very old in the Free State," said Holetschek.
With videos in 20 languages, the Bavarian state government now also wants to educate people with insufficient knowledge of German about the importance of vaccinations.
Corona in Bavaria: Videos in 20 languages should provide information about vaccination
“There is usually no fundamental skepticism about a vaccination.
Often it is a question of a language barrier, ”said the Bavarian integration officer Gudrun Brendel-Fischer on Friday in Munich.
The need for low-threshold information for people is still high.
Despite the increasing success of the nationwide vaccination campaign, the integration officer still sees major challenges for individual social groups: “We want to take everyone with us with this campaign.
That is why we regularly add new languages to our # vaccination ambassador category.
Thai, Vietnamese and a version for deaf people have been added. "
Corona vaccination: video campaign with 27 clips in 20 languages
The video campaign has been running since the beginning of May.
In the clips, people advertise a corona vaccination with short videos they have shot themselves in different languages of origin and mother tongue.
Sometimes 27 videos are available in 20 languages.
More are to follow.
They are available on the integration officer’s YouTube channel.
