Update from April 21, 7:17

a.m .: Within one day, 25,325 new corona infections and 43 deaths were recorded in Bavaria.

The incidence increased slightly to 774.1 on Thursday (previous day: 768.9).

This emerges from the data of the RKI.

However, according to experts, the corona numbers are currently incomplete.

There is less testing over the Easter holidays and there are also late registrations.

Update from April 20, 9:32 a.m

.: The seven-day incidence in Bavaria has continued to fall.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported a value of 768.9 on Wednesday – it was 862.5 on Tuesday and 1162.9 a week ago.

However, the numbers should currently be treated with caution: Experts assume a high number of cases not recorded by the RKI, for example because not all infected people do a PCR test.

On public holidays like the past Easter weekend, there is often less testing and reporting.

According to the RKI, the Bavarian health authorities reported 17,417 new corona cases within one day on Wednesday.

The number of deaths rose by 47 to 23,195.

At the district level, the district of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz recorded the second highest incidence nationwide with 1601.0.

Corona in Bavaria: Aiwanger with a Christmas promise

Update from April 19, 12:43 p.m .:

Corona-related cancellations of folk festivals and Christmas markets should never happen again.

At least when it comes to Bavaria's Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger.

He said in an interview with

Antenne Bayern:

"We should definitely hold the Christmas and Christkindles markets this year and not cancel everything again in October or November just because the numbers are rising," said Aiwanger when visiting the Plärrer in Augsburg.

"Use the time now to strengthen the health system and not celebrate the festivals in autumn and winter like in the years before Corona."

Incidence in Bavaria is falling - nationwide hotspot also on Tuesday in the Free State

Update from April 19, 8:31 a.m .:

The number of new corona infections in Bavaria continues to fall – however, it is unclear whether the data from the health authorities show the actual infection situation.

There are often fewer reports on public holidays.

This in turn leads to late registrations on the following days.

A comparison of daily values ​​is therefore becoming increasingly difficult.

In addition, experts have been assuming for some time that there will be a large number of cases that are not recorded by the Robert Koch Institute - due to overworked health authorities and because not all infected people have a PCR test done.

Only these count in the statistics.

On Tuesday, the RKI reported a seven-day incidence of 862.5 for the Free State, on Monday the value was 939.5, a week ago it was 1218.2.

Exactly 7480 new infections and five deaths related to the virus were added within one day.

All numbers reflect the status of the RKI dashboard on Tuesday 3:11 a.m.

The district of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz (2370.9) is once again the national leader.

The number of corona patients in the intensive care units has also decreased in the past few days: the Divi intensive care register reported 287 corona patients in intensive care units in the Free State on Tuesday (as of 7:05 a.m.), on the previous Tuesday there were 306.

Corona in Bavaria - vaccination rate in nursing homes at around 92 percent

Update from April 18, 10:36 a.m .:

According to Health Minister Klaus Holetschek, the vaccination rate among employees in Bavarian care facilities has continued to rise.

Almost 92 percent of employees have been vaccinated against Corona at least twice, only 6.5 percent are completely unvaccinated.

“In nursing, 91.9 percent of employees are currently at least basic immunized.

That's almost six percent more than at the beginning of the year," said the CSU politician on Easter Monday, according to the ministry, and spoke of a positive development.

According to him, however, only 64.4 percent of the employees have been boosted, i.e. vaccinated for the third time.

However, it should be noted that many employees have gone through an infection - "and may therefore not have had a booster vaccination".

After all, there were corona outbreaks in many care facilities.

Corona: Holetschek calls for a new push for compulsory vaccination

Holetschek also called for a new push by the federal government for general vaccination.

"It must be clear to all of us that vulnerable groups are best protected if as many people as possible are vaccinated," he said, according to a statement from his ministry.

If this does not happen, according to Holetschek, “the facility-related compulsory vaccination must also be put to the test”.

"Because anything else would be unfair to those who have been on the front lines fighting the pandemic for the past two years."

Incidence in Bavaria increases slightly - nationwide hotspot also on Monday in the Free State

Update from April 18, 7:01 a.m

.: The incidence in Bavaria rose minimally on Easter Monday.

The district of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz (2724.3) remains a nationwide hotspot.

The districts of Kulmbach (1444.8) and Coburg (1422.0) again took second and third place in the Free State.

Incidence in Bavaria continues to fall - nationwide hotspot also on Sunday in the Free State

Update from April 17, 9:32 a.m .:

On Saturday, the incidence in Bavaria fell below 1000 for the first time in weeks.

The RKI reported a value of 975.7 on Holy Saturday.

And it goes further down: On Easter Sunday, the incidence in Bavaria is 936.4.

However, the RKI also points out that less is being tested and reported during the current holiday season.

The district of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz remains the nationwide hotspot with 2822.0.

In Bavaria, the districts of Kulmbach (1391.6) and Coburg (1389.6) follow.

Incidence in Bavaria falls below 1000 again - nationwide hotspot still in the Free State

First report from April 16:

Munich – After many weeks, the corona incidence in Bavaria has fallen below 1000.

On Saturday, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI*) reported a value of 975.7.

The day before it was still at 1061.1.

Corona in Bavaria: Be careful when interpreting the current numbers

But caution is advised with the numbers: The RKI pointed out that fewer tests and reports are being carried out during the current holiday season.

Experts also assume that the number of unreported cases is high because, for example, not all infected people took a PCR test* to prove the infection.

Corona numbers in Bavaria

  • 12,733 new corona cases in 24 hours

  • Nine deaths in one day

Corona in Bavaria: Neumarkt remains a hotspot
