Update 1:23 p.m.:

There are no new corona resolutions in Bavaria for the time being. One wants to wait for the federal-state round tomorrow, Tuesday, so Söder at the virtual press conference after the CSU board meeting. It is also not necessary to act immediately, the CSU boss added. Bavaria would already implement almost everything that is to be decided tomorrow. In addition, the numbers in the Free State would decrease.

However, Söder warned of the "Omikron wall" that is rushing towards Germany.

The current relaxation in Bavaria is only a snapshot.

He will think about combating the new virus variant over the Christmas season, said the country manager.

In general, he would like the new traffic light government to show more determination.

The proposals of the new Expert Council should also be more specific.

And again, the CSU boss pleaded for the reintroduction of the epidemic emergency in order to be able to take legally secure and uncomplicated measures.

CSU boss Söder, the proposals of the Corona Expert Council are too vague

Update 12:53 p.m.:

Söder wants to take a few days off over Christmas. But Omikron is already floating in the background as a dark cloud. He will therefore think about how things will continue in the new year. The CSU boss goes back to the expert advice. In principle, he thinks it is good that there is such a body, but he lacks the concrete statements and suggestions. For example, the children would be neglected in the discussions of the council.

Update 12.43 p.m.:

Söder does not

expect

any major changes by the MPK on Tuesday tomorrow. Much of this is already being implemented in Bavaria. "But now we want to know what the federal government's view is," the CSU boss continued. That was often clearer under Merkel. Everything is still very open at the moment. He hoped for the reintroduction of the epidemic emergency, so there would be no need for new advice every time. The expert advice is much more vague than its predecessor, criticizes Söder. The National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, which previously advised the grand coalition, would have formulated clearer proposals for rules, said the Prime Minister.

Update 12:37 p.m.:

At the end of his speech, Söder goes into the good development of Bavaria. Bavaria leads in many areas in a nationwide comparison - for example in unemployment. The CSU also wants to help ensure that the CDU scores successfully in the state elections next year. He had already discussed with Friedrich Merz. "The Union must no longer be a compromise machine." We now have to work closely together. The Union wants to be a real alternative to traffic lights.

Update 12.34 p.m.:

The CSU boss also talks about a possible rejection of Bavaria in the traffic light - since there are no Bavarian traffic light ministers of their own.

He hopes that Bavarian traffic light MPs will influence the government.

The country chief is also critical of Chancellor Scholz's wait-and-see attitude in the Ukraine conflict.

Söder is worried about Omikron - and criticizes the FDP

Update 12:31 p.m.:

Söder advocates

boosting

.

This also helps with Omikron.

The number of first vaccinations has also increased.

The vaccination centers will remain open for the next year, given the situation.

The head of the Corona crisis team Carsten Breuer will also come to Bavaria this week.

There must also be clarity with regard to the general compulsory vaccination.

This must come from the traffic light government.

Söder is particularly concerned about FDP politicians like Wolfgang Kubicki.

Christian Lindner has to work here.

The traffic lights must use their majority.

Update 12.29 p.m.:

The Prime Minister is again annoyed about the abolition of the epidemic situation of national scope.

But Bavaria will not rush ahead.

"The numbers here are falling." They want to act in harmony with the other countries.

Update 12.26 p.m.:

"There is a threat of new

calamities

because of Omikron.

Does a wave come our way or it remains as tense as it is now, ”continues Söder.

He also speaks of the different opinions that were circulating publicly.

"The traffic light is not yet in the correct Corona mode," criticized the CSU boss.

The right measures have to be taken because of Omikron.

Maybe even a lockdown is necessary.

Many rules are already being implemented in Bavaria, Söder continues.

Update 12.24 p.m.:

"Corona won't let us go", Markus Söder begins the press conference after the CSU board meeting.

He first talks about the positive corona development in Bavaria.

But also warns of the impending omicron wave.

"It's a snapshot."

Update 11.47 a.m.:

The press conference will start soon after the CSU board meeting. Prime Minister Markus Söder and CSU General Secretary Markus Blume have been announced as speakers. The talks will certainly have been about the corona situation in Bavaria. But the MPK on tomorrow, Tuesday, will probably have been included in the discussions. The federal government has announced stricter rules for New Year's Eve. However, Söder decided last week that there would be a relaxation in the area of ​​curfew in the catering trade on December 31, for example.

First report from December 20, 10.16 a.m.:

Munich - The latest Corona numbers in Bavaria give reason for hope shortly before the festival.

Before that, CSU boss Markus Söder and his general secretary Markus Blume will give a press conference after the CSU board meeting on Monday, December 20th.

Corona in Bavaria: Number of Covid intensive care patients has fallen below 900

But first the good news of the day. The number of Covid intensive care patients has fallen below 900 for the first time in weeks. According to the Divi intensive care register, only 878 people had to be cared for in Bavarian intensive care units due to a severe corona course. Nationwide, twelve percent of intensive care beds are now free again. Also as many as not in weeks. However, there can be no talk of relaxation. The number of intensive care patients is still twenty times as high as in August. And individual hospitals in some regions continue to work at the limit. In Landsberg and Straubing-Bogen, the clinics are still struggling with fully occupied beds.

In addition to the falling number of intensive care patients, the incidence in Bavaria continues to decline.

On Monday, the Robert Koch Institute reported a value of 285.2.

This has only improved slightly compared to the previous day (288.7).

Corona in Bavaria: Markus Söder comments on the situation on PK after the CSU board meeting

One day before the Prime Minister's Conference (MPK) in Berlin, the CSU board met today.

The main topic will probably be Corona again.

Above all, the preparation for the rapid expansion of the Omikron variant should determine the discussions.

There is already talk of far-reaching contact restrictions after Christmas - even for those who have been vaccinated.

New Year's Eve should probably also be reduced to a minimum.

As before, the aim must be to avoid overloading the health system.

NRW's Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) said in advance: “The Omikron variant calls for absolute vigilance.

There must be contingency plans in order to continue the stable operation of everything that is services of general interest. ”According to the CSU website, the press conference is to begin around 12.30 pm.
