You can follow the press conference at 1 p.m. here in the live stream (in the video above) and in the ticker.
Meanwhile, the Marburger Bund doctors' association in Bavaria is calling for a vaccination - at least for doctors, nurses, teachers and educators.
Such an obligation must primarily apply to medical staff - "and in the end - if you ask me - for the entire population," said state chairman Andreas Botzlar on Friday in Munich.
"Anyone who has not yet understood will not be reached by appeals and explanations," he said.
We have now arrived at a time "where we cannot avoid compulsory vaccination".
The situation is serious - "more serious than it was a year ago," he emphasized. Doctors and nurses in hospitals are increasingly reaching their limits. "The morale in the troops is falling." The most important reason for this is a lack of staff: "The beds we have cannot be operated due to a lack of staff." Botzlar therefore suggested mobilizing forces from the Bundeswehr.
Botzlar criticized politicians' reactions that were too slow. With third-party vaccinations, the so-called boosters, Germany could and should have been much faster.
Update from November 19, 10:42 a.m.:
According to the hospital
society, the
situation in Bavarian hospitals in the fourth corona wave is more critical than ever before in the pandemic. So far, intensive care patients could still be moved within Bavaria if there were no beds available on site - but that would only be possible for "a few days", warned Roland Engehausen, managing director of the Bayerische Krankenhausgesellschaft in the
Augsburger Allgemeine
.
“So far we have tried to relocate within Bavaria, for example from Swabia over a hundred kilometers to Lower Franconia.
But that might work for a few more days, ”said Engehausen.
Without tough countermeasures, the number of corona intensive care patients in Bavaria would increase by around 30 percent per week - "so that we will soon no longer have a chance for transfers within the Free State".
Corona situation "as dramatic as it has never been in Bavaria during the entire pandemic period"
Relocating patients to clinics outside Bavaria is also difficult: "The route to Baden-Württemberg is actually already closed because the clinics there are getting closer to the Bavarian situation," said Engehausen.
“We don't know whether we'll be able to bring someone to Hessen in a few weeks.
You don't need to drive to Thuringia and Saxony, and in the south of Austria the situation is no better than here. ”
The current situation is“ as dramatic as it has never been in Bavaria during the entire pandemic, ”said Engehausen the newspaper.
"It surpasses the worst phase so far between Christmas and New Year last year."
Söder has "breakwater" plans for Bavaria - his minister "doesn't want to rule anything out at the moment"
Update from November 19, 9:37 a.m.:
Which corona rules come in Bavaria? At 1 p.m. Markus Söder appears in front of the press together with Minister of Education Michael Piazolo and Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek (see first report). The latter does not preclude comprehensive lockdown measures in Bavaria in advance. “At the moment I don't want to rule out anything at all when it comes to how we are now discussing measures. We have a need for action, ”said Holetschek to
Bayerischer Rundfunk
on Friday. "I believe that a lockdown of the enforceability is not legally possible even for vaccinated people," he said. The new infections must now be broken resolutely and in a closed manner, so that the hospitals do not have to do more in two weeks than they do now.
Bavaria never closed the vaccination centers, emphasized the CSU politician.
Therefore, many people in the Free State could now be vaccinated at the same time.
“The capacities have increased.
I assume that every day we offer more vaccination capacity and become even faster. "
After the Corona summit: Söder has "breakwater" plans for Bavaria - "fundamental" adjustments are in the making
First report from November 19, 6.42 a.m .:
Munich - In view of the exploding
numbers of
new infections in Bavaria, the black-orange coalition wants to resolve a noticeable tightening of the corona rules on Friday (November 19).
Markus Söder (CSU) had already announced drastic cuts, especially for unvaccinated people in the Free State on Thursday evening following the Prime Minister's Conference - there should be nothing less than a “de facto lockdown for unvaccinated people”.
It therefore needs a "breakwater", explained Söder.
The rate of spread must be slowed down.
Corona: Söder wants to tighten the rules for Bavaria
In doing so, he very explicitly emphasized the instrument of contact restrictions.
In addition, it is about personnel upper limits in certain areas "and also the cancellation" of events.
He did not want to be more specific before consulting the coalition partner.
In an ARD talk, however, Söder had already recommended that all Christmas markets in the Free State be canceled.
The Free State will exhaust all legal possibilities - both according to the previous and the new legal situation, i.e. on the basis of the old and the newly drafted Infection Protection Act, said Söder.
“The principle is clear: tighten, and fundamentally.
Reduce contacts, both at events and in other areas, ”he explained.
"We do what we have to do."
Corona special way in Bavaria: Söder wants to "check what is possible"
According to the new version of the Federal Infection Protection Act, the state parliaments should be able to decide on restrictions in the leisure, cultural or sports sectors.
Exit restrictions, general business or school closings and travel bans should then be excluded.
If countries still order such measures now, they could remain in force until December 15.
“We will examine what is possible under the new law.
We will consider what, according to the old law, especially until December 15th.
is possible, ”said Bavaria's Prime Minister for the record.
Everything that is decided on Friday has to be used deliberately for the next three weeks to reduce the numbers and relieve the health system.
Söder statement live: This is how the Corona adjustments will be in Bavaria
Lockdown measures also for vaccinated people - which would still be possible for a certain transitional period under the old legal situation - Söder believes, however, to be legally complicated, in his own words.
"A complete restriction, for example for vaccinated people, would hardly be imaginable under the current circumstances and would be constitutional."
Söder wants to present all the results of the consultations at a press conference in Munich.
We report from 1 p.m. in the live ticker.
