Corona situation in Bavaria is coming to a head: Söder calls for a nationwide disaster
Update from November 10th, 2:57 p.m.:
In view of the dramatically increasing number of corona infections, Bavaria is once again
declaring a
nationwide disaster.
The State Chancellery announced on Wednesday in Munich that Prime Minister Markus Söder ordered the disaster to be established from November 11, 2021 due to the "current worrying situation in the corona pandemic."
Söder had previously announced this at a meeting of the CSU parliamentary group.
The Ministry of the Interior will promptly issue a corresponding announcement.
Corona in Bavaria: Incidence in the Rottal-Inn district jumps to 1104.3
Update from November 10, 10:47 a.m.:
The Rottal-Inn district is at the top nationwide when it
comes to
new corona infections. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported a seven-day incidence of 1104.3 for the region in southeast Bavaria on Wednesday (see previous update). Compared to the previous day, 432 new cases had been added. An outlier? Probably not, it was said at the district office in Pfarrkirchen. "The numbers are just so high and we don't know why," said a spokeswoman.
For the authorities in the affected regions, the development means a very high burden.
They are fully occupied with identifying and informing people who have had contact with newly infected people.
You can hardly keep up with work, described a spokeswoman for the district office in Pfarrkirchen.
“It's at the limit.” You can't explain the development there.
One reason could be the vaccination rate.
According to information from the authority, 52.9 percent of the population in the district was fully vaccinated on November 6th.
As of Wednesday morning, it is 65.2 percent across Bavaria.
In the meantime, the district administrator of Rottal-Inn has spoken out in an emotional statement.

Corona: Infectiologist explains what to do now
Update from November 10, 6:31 a.m.:
The corona situation in Germany and Bavaria remains tense.
The Munich infectiologist Christoph Spinner does not currently consider a new lockdown to be helpful despite the increasing corona numbers.
"Lockdowns are not only politically the most radical means in terms of pandemic control, they are also rather weak scientifically - unless they are implemented absolutely consistently and consistently controlled," said the pandemic officer at the Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich in the German press -Agency.
He explains which measures from his point of view would be right now.
Corona in Bavaria: Can Christmas markets take place?
Update from November 9, 4:25 p.m.:
The corona numbers are increasing.
But can Christmas markets still take place this year?
At today's press conference, Prime Minister Markus Söder and Health Minister Klaus Holetschek affirmed the goal that Christmas markets and the ski season can take place.
These are outdoor activities, which makes the whole thing easier, said Holetschek.
The critical situation in the clinics will continue to be closely monitored.
Söder said about Christmas markets and tourism that a stricter mask requirement is conceivable for him.
In general, however, he was in favor of a nationwide uniform regulation.
"Massive increase in controls": Söder tightened - but some areas can breathe a sigh of relief
Update from November 9, 3:03 p.m.:
After the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Markus Söder announced a tougher pace in the corona pandemic. 2G largely applies throughout Bavaria, and corresponding controls are to be massively expanded (see previous update). But there was also a great deal of relief: employees in hotels, restaurants and body-hugging services (including hairdressers) no longer have to have PCR tests carried out twice a week from Wednesday. The cabinet decided on Tuesday. Employees in Bavaria can also submit a rapid antigen test per working day. The relief applies both when the Corona traffic light is red *, as it is currently, and when it is yellow.
"With all legitimate concerns about the skyrocketing number of corona infections and hospital occupancy, these adjustments make sense," said Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger.
It is gratifying that unvaccinated employees have to continue to do a daily corona self-test due to the practical adjustment of the regulation, but that expensive PCR tests are then no longer absolutely necessary.
Söder tough: "Massive increase in controls" and further tightening of the corona in Bavaria are coming
Update from November 9th, 2:07 p.m.:
Just a few hours after the Corona traffic light in Bavaria jumped to red, the cabinet has already changed some regulations again.
On Tuesday, the government around Markus Söder decided that the mask requirement in Bavaria's schools would be extended indefinitely.
The obligation, which initially only applies for a limited period after the autumn break, remains in effect at all schools “until further notice”.
Corona in Bavaria: Söder announces stricter controls
In addition, Söder said: "2G applies in Bavaria to a large extent." He emphasized that the controls in Bavaria would be massively tightened. To this end, the police would work closely with the health authorities. Violations would be severely punished. The police would issue fines directly for violations Repeated violations in restaurants can also cause closings. The CSU boss emphasized that there is a threat of competition between Covid patients and people with other diseases - for example vaccinated cancer patients, due to the high number of intensive care patients.
Söder: Unvaccinated students aged 12 and over can continue to do sports and music
For underage students over twelve years of age who are regularly tested for Corona, an exception rule was decided by the end of the year so that they can continue their sporting and musical hobbies without vaccination.
According to this, there is an exception to the new access restriction according to the 2G rule for schoolchildren for their own sporting and musical activities and for theater groups until the end of the year (only for vaccinated and convalescent people).
The exception already applies to all younger students.
However, the exception rule does not apply to visits to stadiums, clubs, concerts and similar indoor leisure activities.
There should be no changes in the assumption of costs for the corona tests in Bavaria.
Both the PCR tests and the rapid antigen tests are only free of charge in exceptional cases.
Corona in Bavaria: Vaccination centers are restarted
In the fight against the pandemic, vaccination is also to be stepped up even further.
The vaccination centers in the Free State are restarted.
"Anyone who comes will be vaccinated," said Prime Minister Markus Söder.
Booster vaccinations * are important.
The vaccination rate for first and second vaccinations is rising again very slightly, explained Söder.
He expects that by relying heavily on 2G at leisure events, the tendency to vaccinate will increase again.
But he feared an increasing division in society.
Therefore, there should be no malice towards those who had previously struggled with vaccination.
He again spoke out in favor of compulsory vaccination for certain professional groups, for example in nursing.
The Söder press conference in Relive
Söder's Corona press conference for reading
1:36 p.m.:
What would Söder recommend to Joshua Kimmich?
This is what a journalist would like to know from Bavaria's Prime Minister.
Kimmich is certainly not a lateral thinker, says Söder.
Should the FC Bayern player now get vaccinated, it could have an “enormous impetus and role model effect” for anyone who is still considering.
3G plus for the catering industry is considered justifiable, explains Söder when asked.
However, one does not rule out switching to 2G or 2G plus, should the situation make it necessary.
And does the 2G rule also apply to cabinet meetings?
"We only have one person who is not vaccinated," says Söder, referring to Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger, that 3G plus applies to him.
Mask requirement on the square in Bavaria's schools applies until further notice
1:20 p.m.:
Michael Piazolo has the floor.
Testing is still important, explains Bavaria's minister of education.
The safety net in the schools has been "strengthened again." The mask requirement - also on the square - has been in effect since Monday.
"Until further notice" it should stay that way, this is necessary due to the high numbers.
If an infection occurs in a class, additional tests are carried out.
Piazolo also speaks out in favor of solidarity and appeals to be vaccinated because the under 12-year-olds cannot be vaccinated.
Söder press conference live - Corona wave with "tremendous impact and dynamism"
1:17 p.m.:
Yesterday 609 intensive care beds were occupied in Bavaria, today there are 650, reports Klaus Holetschek.
This shows the dramatic situation.
The number of infections is also increasing, the wave is traveling with "tremendous force and dynamism".
He appeals to be done for the care.
It is difficult to work “under these general conditions”.
It would be worthwhile to get vaccinated for these people in the healthcare sector alone.
Because the nursing staff are at their limit and still grow beyond themselves.
Söder expresses Corona worries - "We are only at the beginning of this development"
1:14 p.m.:
Söder is worried, he explains.
Not only because of Corona, but also because of the division in society.
The vaccinated are frustrated, the understanding is almost zero.
People who are still struggling with their vaccination decision feel pilloried.
He doesn't mean lateral thinkers, but people who still hesitate and consider.
"It left no damage", the side effects were short-term, not long-term, Söder tries to take worries about before the vaccination.
“Mutual motivation instead of excluding”, he demands.
Otherwise the winter would be difficult: “We are only at the beginning of this development,” he warns.
Söder's corona announcement: massive expansion of controls
1:07 p.m
.: 2G largely applies in Bavaria, explains Söder. But: "All 2G rules will fizzle out if there is insufficient control," said the CSU boss. It was decided today to “massively expand the controls.” The density of controls is increasing, and the police will immediately issue fines for violations. In the event of repeated violations in restaurants, closings can be initiated. 2G also applies to schoolchildren from the age of 12 - a corona vaccination is possible from this age.
The test centers will be extended - “at least until March next year,” explains Söder.
“We will restart all vaccination centers.” Booster vaccinations are the best protection.
All over 60-year-olds should be written to directly.
There is no sequence or no dates: "Whoever comes will be vaccinated." On the subject of mandatory vaccination: "I am in favor of mandatory vaccination in certain professional groups", for example in the nursing profession.
Söder does not go into detail.
Söder adds that it is possible that a disaster will be declared in the course of the week.
There will also be consultations as to whether the existing instruments are sufficient or whether a different path should be taken.
Söder press conference: Corona situation "continues to be very, very serious"
1 p.m .:
The press conference begins.
"The situation in Germany and Bavaria is still very, very serious," says Markus Söder.
Miesbach is Germany's front runner.
The highest incidences are among younger people.
But even among 60 to 80-year-olds there is an incidence of 140.
The hospital traffic light is red, says Söder.
"The intensive care beds are full," explains the CSU boss.
90 percent in the intensive care units are not vaccinated.
"There is not only a risk of overload, there is also a threat of increasing competition," says Söder.
Competition between unvaccinated Covid patients and vaccinated cancer or stroke patients.
According to the Prime Minister, the vaccination rate is increasing slightly in Bavaria after the 2G announcement.
“A small hopeful signal”, but not yet a big leap.
"Vaccination is not just for yourself. Vaccination is a solidarity task for others." There is no compulsory vaccination, but actually a moral task, he believes.
Söder repeats that the situation is still epidemic.
From his point of view, Freedom Day would also not be an option.
He demands that federal-state talks are needed.
Update from November 9th, 12.30 p.m.:

Corona situation in Bavaria: Söder-Kabinett advises on the worsening situation
The hospital traffic light in Bavaria has been red since Monday, as more than 600 intensive care beds in the Free State are already occupied by Covid 19 patients.
This has resulted in a tightening of the applicable measures since midnight.
Now the cabinet wants to discuss the worsening situation again in its meeting on Tuesday.
What will be decided is not yet certain.
Individual tightening in public areas would be possible, but also relief for students between 12 and 17 years of age.
A vaccination recommendation has only been in effect for these since August, most of them are unvaccinated.
Corona explosion in Bavaria: Incidence is increasing continuously - clinics impose a ban on visits
The criticism that an expansion of the 2G rule would exclude young people from social life is great because they are no longer allowed to participate in sports or other leisure activities, for example, even with a negative PCR test.
These “hardships for children and young people” should be “cushioned”, according to the free voters.
In the video: the traffic light turns red, that's changing
Of the 612 Covid-19 patients who were treated in the Bavarian intensive care units on Monday afternoon, 324 have to be artificially ventilated.
In some areas, such as the Bad-Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, a ban on visiting all clinics has already been imposed - including those who have been vaccinated.
