Munich - The appointments for Prime Minister Markus Söder * (CSU) do not seem to stop shortly before Christmas.

First there was a meeting of the CSU executive committee on Monday, followed by a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, and then the head of the country took part in the prime ministerial conference.

And the topic of Corona * runs like a red thread through the week in Söders.

On Wednesday, December 22nd, the Corona crisis chief, Major General Carsten Breuer, visits the Free State.

At 1 p.m. Söder, Breuer and the Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) will appear in front of the cameras.

In the orangery of the State Chancellery, they comment on the corona situation in Bavaria.

Then at 2:30 p.m. the chief of the crisis staff visits a Munich clinic.

After the appointment there, the major general will visit a family doctor's practice in Munich * at around 6 p.m.

Before Bavaria, Breuer visited the federal states of Lower Saxony and Saxony.

On Tuesday it was announced that the State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) will have a new head after a year.

The physician Prof. Christian Weidner takes over from Walter Jonas, who becomes regional president of the Upper Palatinate.

“He is not only an expert on the LGL, but also, as a doctor, an accomplished expert in the subject of risk assessment,” said Bavaria's Minister of Health Holetschek, praising the 50-year-old on Tuesday in Munich.

Environment Minister Thorsten Glauber (Free Voters) sees Weidner as an “extremely competent new head of the authorities”.

Corona in Bavaria: Change at the top of the LGL for the FDP only a "pawn"

The LGL has recently been criticized for calculating the corona incidence * broken down into vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

At its core, it is about the question of whether it is legitimate to add people with an unknown vaccination status to the group of unvaccinated people - even if they now make up a very large part.

Jonas had repeatedly defended his authority's approach from a professional point of view.

The Landtag FDP called Jonas a "pawn sacrifice" on Tuesday.

In government circles, however, it was emphasized that the procedure for filling the two government president posts had been going on for a long time.
