The federal and state governments decided on new corona measures on Friday.

What then applies to Bavaria?

Markus Söder already indicated a special way - an overview.

Munich - On Friday the federal and state governments decided on new corona measures for Germany.

Then Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder also appeared in front of the press.

The CSU boss explained his point of view and how the rules should be implemented in Bavaria - one statement was surprising.

An overview.

Corona rules: "Those who have been boosted no longer have to be in quarantine as a contact person"

There is something new for Germany and thus also for Bavaria with a view to the quarantine rules.

"Those who have been boosted no longer have to be in quarantine as a contact person," said Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) on Friday after the Prime Minister's Conference. All others could leave the isolation after ten days if they were symptom free - with a negative PCR test or rapid test even after seven days , Children and adolescents even after five days (a rapid or PCR test is also required here).

2G-Plus rule in gastronomy: Söder “skeptical” - is Bavaria taking a different route?

Because of the high risk of infection from Omikron, the federal and state governments have also adopted stricter access rules for restaurants. Bavaria does not want to go along with this without further ado. “I asked the Minister of Health to check whether this is really necessary from our point of view. We are very, very cautious and skeptical about this. We also made a statement on this today, we will then make a final decision on next Tuesday, ”said Söder on Friday. A statement that might come as a surprise to many. After all, Söder says he is "team caution".

The CSU boss emphasized that Bavaria had issued a protocol declaration in the resolution, according to which the resolution “largely falls short of the Bavarian legal situation that is already in force”.

Further tightening - such as an incidence-independent 2G-plus rule in the entire catering trade - would first have to be examined on the basis of the most reliable scientific expertise possible.

2G-Plus rule in gastronomy: Vaccinated and convalescent people need a test - exception for those who have been boosted

In the Free State, pubs and discos are currently closed, unlike in other federal states, and gastronomy in regional hotspots in the Free State also has to close its doors.

The resolution now adopted provides that vaccinated and convalescent people must present a daily negative corona test or a booster vaccination in order to gain access.

It is important to involve society in the measures, said Söder.

Since the experts at the conference could not have adequately answered all questions, questions unfortunately remained unanswered.
