Munich –
The seven-day incidence * in Bavaria continues to shoot up.
The Robert Koch Institute reported a value of 661.2 for Bavaria on Thursday (as of 3:27 a.m.).
On Wednesday, the incidence was still 607.1.
Bavaria thus exceeds the national average of 638.8 even more than before.
Corona incidence in Bavaria is increasing: Munich is no longer a hotspot
The state capital Munich*, Bavaria's number one corona hotspot in the past few days, is now "only" fourth in Bavaria with an incidence of 986.4.
In return, three districts in Upper Bavaria exceeded the 1000 mark for the first time.
At the top is the district of Dachau with 1076, followed by the districts of Ebersberg (1032.7) and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen (1015.5).
Since the hotspot rule, which provided for a regional lockdown in Bavaria from an incidence of 1000, was overridden last week, the measures to contain the pandemic in these districts have not changed.
The day before, the administrative court had also overridden the 2G rule in Bavaria's retail trade.
Despite the increasing numbers, the cabinet around Prime Minister Markus Söder had promised further easing in the coming weeks.
