Corona: Bavaria goes into lockdown light - all Christmas markets canceled

Bavaria is using an opening clause in the Infection Protection Act. Because incidences and hospitalization are increasing dramatically, but the vaccination rate is lower than in many other countries, the Free State is taking significant steps beyond the federal regulation. Internally, Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) described the situation on Friday as dramatic. His coalition partner, who has always been skeptical about stricter rules, is also going along the way.

Bavaria's coalition wants to limit contacts again from the middle of next week, details are still pending.

For everyone - whether vaccinated or unvaccinated - there is a new curfew.

Dining rooms remain open, but only for vaccinated and convalescent people.

The major events are being scaled down.

In the future, only a maximum of 25 percent of the audience will be allowed.

This is likely to affect football stadiums in particular, but also culture.

Closures in the culture are currently not planned.

In corona hotspots, in which the situation has gotten completely out of control - i.e. with an incidence over 1000 - there should be further measures.

Comprehensive school closings are currently not planned according to the agreement of the Bavarian coalition.

It remains with face-to-face teaching.

The day-care centers and kindergartens also remain open, but the tests here are to be expanded and improved.

Corona in Bavaria: Söder announces new rules - tightened measures in hotspots

You need a “breakwater”, Söder said on Thursday evening.

For Bavaria this means that strict measures apply, which should also be controlled with increased police operations.

But it is not a tough lockdown for everyone, as Austria has just launched.

The state government has constitutional concerns here.

The state parliament should vote on the new measures on Tuesday.

A majority by the CSU and Free Voters is considered certain there, so far the Greens have also supported many measures - despite considerable criticism of details and communication.

On Friday, Markus Söder announced the new corona rules for Bavaria.
