In parts of Bavaria, the corona incidence is alarmingly high and, according to Florian Hermann, requires "maximum attention".
Now there was a crisis talk in Munich.
Munich - If the subject is already depressing, at least the atmosphere should be relaxed.
At short notice, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU *) invited the district administrators and mayors to Munich with the greatest Corona * worries - on Tuesday morning, ten local politicians will be sitting under huge chandeliers in a hall of the Munich residence.
In addition the Bavarian cabinet.
Crisis exchange.
The conversation was very good, it is said afterwards from all sides.
But inconclusive.
The background to the meeting is the corona incidences, which are particularly high in the south and south-east of Bavaria.
The situation requires “the highest level of attention”, says State Chancellor Florian Herrmann at a press conference.
No concrete measures were deliberately decided, but the situation in the affected districts and cities was discussed.
Result: The outbreak is quite diffuse, the core problem is the same in the affected regions.
Where the incidences are high, the vaccination rates are low.
The Berchtesgadener Land district is 54.5 percent, well below the Bavarian average.
"We need an intensified vaccination campaign again," says District Administrator Bernhard Kern (CSU) after the meeting.
One will certainly not let up on the subject.
Coronavirus Bavaria: "Clinic traffic light" has long been red in some regions
The effects of the low vaccination rate are very concrete in detail. In the clinics there are mostly unvaccinated people, in some places the intensive care units are full, and patients have to be transferred to other hospitals. The tension increases. While the relevant “clinic traffic light” is green across Bavaria, it has long been red in some regions, they say. Rosenheim's District Administrator Otto Lederer therefore calls for smooth coordination between the clinics. Patient relocations would have to be "faster and less bureaucratic".
The traffic light is now the most important corona warning value.
What measures will be taken if it jumps to yellow across Bavaria is still unclear.
Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) says that the steps have “not yet been differentiated”.
The district administrators urgently want to make up for this quickly.
Coronavirus Bavaria: A possible mask requirement in the classroom is also being discussed
A possible mask requirement in the classroom is also being discussed. Holetschek is open. He could well imagine "discussing the subject again" after the holidays. Previously, the President of the German Teachers' Association, Heinz-Peter Meidinger, had attested Bavaria, among others, "to be more of the dirty kids than the model boys when it comes to hygiene protection in schools". The increasing incidence among young people shows that the abolition of the mask requirement in the classroom was wrong.
It's not a controversial meeting, nor should it be.
Many district administrators are happy that, despite the high numbers in their own area, no strict, perhaps even regionally limited, measures are being taken.
The state government wants to avoid a lockdown anyway and in principle.
"We also do not want a lockdown for unvaccinated people as a theoretically conceivable measure," says Herrmann, although individual district administrators would very much like to have clear statements on how to deal with vaccine-grudges.
For the time being, the existing Corona measures will be extended until November 24th.
Two days later, the epidemic situation ended nationwide.
Herrmann therefore demands legal certainty again.

Although he has been vaccinated twice, ex-Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber was infected with the corona virus. It is unclear where he was infected.
