Almost like a mantra, the Prime Minister repeats: "There is a very simple way to defuse the situation: to get vaccinated, that is the best protection in the end."

Update from November 16, 8:49 a.m.:

Shortly before the Prime Minister's Conference, Markus Söder commented on the next steps in the Corona crisis in the ZDF morning magazine.

There Söder made it clear again what, in his opinion, needs to be done: nationwide 2G in Germany, a clear recommendation for booster vaccination after five months, mandatory vaccination for certain professional groups, contact restrictions for unvaccinated people and more mask requirements.

Söder makes it clear: "Corona would be zero problem if everyone had been vaccinated"

In Bavaria, too, the corona numbers have been rising significantly again since October.

There was another assessment, we had not yet had the situation with the vaccination breakthroughs. "

Söder's explanation: "Because we don't have to be vaccinated, we can only ask people to vaccinate." There are lateral thinkers and esoteric groups, so Söder.

Corona in Bavaria: health authorities can no longer keep up

The Bavarian health authorities are increasingly overwhelmed by tracking corona contacts.

"In counties in which there are a lot of infections, infected people may only be contacted by the health department with a delay," said the Ministry of Health at the request of the

news agency

.

Health Minister Klaus Holetschek: “The health authorities are working

flat out to contact

every

person who has tested positive

by

specialist staff.

However, there can be delays if there are many new infections

at the same time. ”The focus is clearly on“ protecting the particularly vulnerable groups ”.

Corona in Bavaria: Infected people have to inform contacts themselves

Since the beginning of November, the health authorities have been concentrating on establishing contacts on household members and people who could infect many others, for example in old people's homes, facilities for the disabled, homeless and asylum shelters.

"People who do not belong to these groups are no longer regularly contacted by the health department," said a ministry spokesman.

“Instead, they can be informed by the infected person themselves.” The decisive factor now is personal responsibility: Anyone who has a cold, sore throat or cough must definitely contact their family doctor and do a PCR test there.

According to the ministry, there is no general answer whether the contact persons in focus are always informed in good time. That also depends on the workload of the individual health authorities. The number of cases is likely to continue to rise in autumn and winter.

Update from November 15, 6.43 p.m.:

The corona numbers among Bavarian children and adolescents

a week after the autumn vacation. In the age group of six to eleven year olds, the incidence has exceeded the mark of 1000 and is now 1073, according to figures from the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) on Monday for calendar week 45. For 12 to 15 year olds it is 979. That is roughly doubling compared to the values ​​of the previous week.

The incidence among 16 to 19-year-olds is also well above the average at 777.

In contrast, the values ​​for children under five and adults over 60 are well below average.

Across all age groups, the LGL reported a value of 530.4 on Monday - the slight deviation from the incidence of 525.7 reported by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) is explained by different reference times.

Corona in Bavaria: Open letter reaches Söder - emergency physicians worried

Origin notification:

Munich - Bavaria's emergency doctors have called for more courageous measures in the fight against the fourth corona wave in an appeal to state politics.

In their catalog of demands, the emergency physicians advocate compulsory vaccination for medical staff, faster “booster” vaccinations and a revocation of the vaccinated status nine months after the last vaccination.

Unvaccinated people would have to be subject to contact restrictions, it said.

At the same time, the attractiveness of the care professions must be increased.

There is also an urgent need for a larger-scale awareness-raising campaign to clear up the circulating fake news about the alleged dangers of the approved vaccines.

"We can certainly win over at least some of the citizens unsettled by permanent fake news in this way for a vaccination", can be seen in the open letter that the board of the Association of Emergency Doctors in Bavaria (agbn) on Monday (November 15th) ) addressed to Prime Minister Markus Söder, Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek and Minister of the Interior Joachim Herrmann (all CSU).

"Dramatic" Corona situation in Bavaria's clinics: Doctors call on Söder to take "unpopular steps"

They described the situation in the hospitals as a "dramatic development"; many clinics could no longer provide full care for acute emergencies.

Urgent action is now required to prevent triage (prioritizing and selecting medical cases, for example due to a lack of resources).

“You will have our full support, especially for the unpopular steps that must now be implemented urgently,” wrote the doctors.

The working group represents 3000 emergency doctors working in Bavaria.
