Schoolchildren have to adjust to masks again, pubs are allowed to open under certain conditions: Söder announced innovations in Bavaria's Corona course at a press conference.
Munich
- The corona numbers in the Free State are going up again, but the willingness to vaccinate is falling.
After the last cabinet meeting before the summer break, Prime Minister Markus Söder announced new corona rules for Bavaria, including easing and impending tightening.
Consequences were also drawn from the severe floods.
An overview.
Corona in Bavaria: Vaccinated people should get their basic rights back - unvaccinated people not
Keyword vaccination:
Söder made it clear: The rate of vaccination in the Free State is not going fast enough.
He therefore spoke out in favor of giving back their freedom to vaccinated people, but not simply giving back to unvaccinated people.
However, it is not about the disadvantage for people without a vaccination *, or about a vaccination pressure through the back door.
But the withholding of basic rights for vaccinated people cannot be justified, said the Prime Minister.
Söder's goal is also to significantly advance vaccination for minors.
The CSU boss would like to implement this with an increased range of vaccinations * for young people.
In the future, schoolchildren over the age of twelve will not only be able to be vaccinated by their family doctor or pediatrician but also in vaccination centers.
Söder emphasized: The quarantine times should be reduced as much as possible for students in the new school year.
Press conference with Markus Söder: After the summer holidays, it is planned to wear a mask in schools
Mask requirement in schools:
For this reason, a mask requirement * should apply again in Bavarian schools after the summer holidays - at least in the first few weeks.
This measure is intended to prevent possible infections from returning travelers.
Söder also announced that a test would be compulsory, if possible before the first day of school.
Relaxation for bars and pubs:
In Bavaria's gastronomy, the mask requirement for waiters remains - even outdoors.
On the other hand, bars and pubs are allowed to open again.
However, only with service at the seat.
If pubs only have one counter, they must remain closed for the time being.
Flood protection:
After the severe floods in Bavaria, a lot should also happen in terms of flood protection.
The cabinet decided that more polders will be expanded.
This means that additional areas are to be created that can be flooded in the event of a flood event without endangering inhabited areas.
After severe floods in Bavaria: Flood TÜV is introduced
In addition, a flood TÜV is to be introduced.
The upcoming tasks for the municipalities and the Free State: They should take a close look at their waters - and check for possible sources of danger.
In the event of a disaster, Söder wants to rely on digital solutions such as push messages, but not only.
More sirens should also be set up again.
26,000 are planned for all of Bavaria.
