Bavaria once again proclaims a nationwide disaster.
Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) ordered the disaster to be established from November 11, 2021 due to "the current worrying situation in the corona pandemic," said the State Chancellery.
The determination of the disaster enables a coordinated and structured approach by all authorities, agencies and organizations involved in disaster control. The disaster in the corona pandemic was already declared on December 9, 2020, it was not lifted again in the Free State until June 4, 2021.
The corona infection process is currently developing very dynamically in Bavaria, according to the state chancellery.
The seven-day incidence reached new highs every day.
“At the same time, the occupancy of hospital beds, especially intensive care beds, with Covid-19 patients continues to rise.
In many hospitals, there is already no or very little capacity available. «This increases the need for coordination when occupying intensive care beds and moving patients from overburdened clinics.
"The corona pandemic endangers the life and health of a large number of people in the entire state of Bavaria."
Söder calls for a corona emergency plan and mandatory vaccination for certain professions
In view of the rapidly increasing number of infections in Germany, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder called for an emergency plan from the SPD, Greens and FDP - and compulsory vaccination for certain professions. The situation is extremely worrying, Corona is "back with all might," he told the German Press Agency in Munich. “A bad Corona winter is looming. What takes place in some federal states is only the forerunner for the whole country, «warned the CSU chief. "Hence the urgent appeal to the future federal government to massively sharpen its current corona package."
»Masks, keeping your distance, 3G and also 2G are proper instruments.
But it could be that they are not enough, ”said Söder.
“We need an emergency plan for the winter that can be activated if the worst comes to the worst.
With the measures taken so far, we will not be able to break exorbitantly rising waves on our own.
In the end, the state would then be defenseless against Corona.
Therefore: The new traffic light must not leave the country and the citizens alone, «he warned.
