The Bavarian cabinet will meet in Munich on Tuesday to discuss the corona situation.
Big easing like last week is unlikely to be expected.
Munich - The Bavarian cabinet under the leadership of Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) meets today (October 12) in Munich.
A major easing package like last week is unlikely to be in sight.
Nevertheless, Corona * remains the topic of the government meeting.
This is hardly surprising, since Bavaria is at the forefront of the hotspots in Germany.
The Free State has now topped the list again.
(By the way: Our Bavaria newsletter informs you about all the important stories from the Free State. Register here.)
Corona in Bavaria: Eight of the twelve largest hotspots are in the Free State
The corona pandemic is not over yet, although it now appears to be in large parts of everyday life.
The south-east of the Free State in particular is firmly in the grip of the virus.
According to the Robert Koch Institute * (RKI), Germany's largest corona hotspot is in the Free State.
As of today, the district of Berchtesgadener Land tops the list again with an incidence of 262.4.
And Bavaria is represented eight times in the top 12 municipalities and districts in Germany alone.
More and more people also have to be treated in hospitals for Covid 19 disease.
According to the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL), 932 people are cared for in normal wards today.
259 people are in intensive care units.
In the past week it was 857 for the simpler cases and 256 for the severe cases.
Corona in Bavaria: 3G plus applies to the cabinet meeting with immediate effect
There is something new at today's meeting of the Council of Ministers.
For the first time, the 3G plus rule applies to participation.
So only ministers who have been vaccinated, who have recovered or who have had a negative PCR test are allowed to take part in the discussion.
The latter only applies to the Minister for Economic Affairs, Hubert Aiwanger *.
Since he is still skeptical about the vaccination, he will probably have to be tested more often.
Because the rule should also apply to all other events in the State Chancellery in the future.
This means that there is no need to wear a mask or distance rules.
At the cabinet meeting in #Bayern today 3G + applies.
Unvaccinated ministers must show a PCR test.

So what will come out at the end of the cabinet meeting today is still uncertain.
What is certain, however, is who will present the results.
A press conference has been scheduled for 1 p.m. in the Prinz-Carl-Palais in Munich.
State Chancellor Florian Herrmann (CSU), Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters) and Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) will answer the questions of the reporters.
