Corona in Bavaria: loosening fixed – this is now changing in the Free State
Update from January 25, 1:05 p.m.: As expected, the Bavarian state government has relaxed some areas. The winners of this easing are youth work, where 3G applies again, culture and sport. Here, the capacity limit for the spectators is the keyword of the day. In sports, the capacity will be increased to 25 percent – with a maximum capacity of ten thousand spectators. The culture can look forward to an increase to 50 percent occupancy, previously it was 25.
Leaving the Luca app is also a big step (see update 12.30 p.m.). The operators of the app received almost 450,000 euros a month from the Bavarian state government, but it was not used as often as expected. So it’s not exactly surprising that the government has drawn the line on this.
Corona in Bavaria: Press conference of the Bavarian state government is over
Update from January 25, 1 p.m.: The press conference is over.
Update from January 25, 12:52 p.m.: A journalist asks to what extent the PCR tests should be prioritized. Klaus Holetschek makes it clear again that the capacity of the tests will be increased from 360,000 per week to 486,000 beforehand. Nevertheless, prioritization cannot be ruled out. “It will most likely turn towards symptomatic people, caregivers,” he says. However, the details have yet to be discussed.
Update from January 25, 12:40 p.m.: Why isn’t Markus Söder at the press conference today? Florian Herrmann explains this by saying that the Bavarian state government has not decided on any major changes.
Corona in Bavaria: Bavaria’s government has decided to end the Luca app
Update from January 25, 12:32 p.m.: Klaus Holetschek would like the general obligation to vaccinate to be initiated now. “It’s important to discuss and decide this in the Bundestag now,” he says. “The general obligation to vaccinate is an act of solidarity.” It would also help ensure that the health system is not overloaded.
Update from January 25, 12:30 p.m.: Bavaria’s cabinet decides to stop working with the Luca app. This should be announced in the course of the day, the Münchner Merkur learned from circles in the Council of Ministers. The app makes it possible to check in digitally, for example in a tavern, without having to leave paperwork when leaving contact details.
But the program was used too seldom for contact tracing – so seldom that the Greens spoke of a “money-burning machine”. The state government paid almost 450,000 euros a month for this. In the past few weeks, skepticism has also grown in the State Chancellery and the Digital Ministry as to whether these costs are offset by roughly comparable benefits. A final stroke was now decided in the cabinet on Tuesday morning.
Corona in Bavaria: Bavaria’s state government is increasing viewer capacities
Update from January 25, 12:25 p.m.: According to Minister of Education Michael Piazolo, the goal is to be able to keep the students in face-to-face classes. Some measures such as masks etc. should contribute to this.
Update from January 25, 12:20 p.m.: According to Herrmann, the capacity increases apply not only to art, culture and cinema, but also to sporting events.
Herrmann can now call the easing fixed for major national events. So far there have only been ghost games like FC Bayern. “We will raise the viewer limit moderately and with a sense of proportion to 25 percent,” he said. “However, a maximum of only 10,000 spectators.” The government considers a moderate increase to be sensible, since it affects the economic substance of some smaller clubs.
Corona in Bavaria: Bavarian state government fixes easing
Update from January 25, 12:15 p.m.: According to Herrmann, there are no fundamental changes. In many areas, the previous measures remain – for example in retail or in gastronomy. However, there are the already announced simplifications from January 27th. One of the three areas is youth work. “We will increase capacity in the areas of art, culture and cinema,” explains Herrmann. The viewer limit will therefore be raised from 25 to 50 percent.
Update from January 25, 12:05 p.m.: Head of State Chancellery Florian Herrmann briefly outlines the current corona situation in Bavaria. It is currently coming to a head drastically – Omikron is still on the rise. The rest of the timetable reads: “Be careful with a sense of proportion. Drive on sight. Careful with prudence.”
Update from January 25, 12:00 p.m.: The press conference after the Corona consultations of the Bavarian State Ministry has begun. Head of State Chancellery Florian Herrmann, Minister of Education Michael Piazolo and Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek now want to report on the results.
Corona bang in Bavaria? Significant loosening possible – PK equals LIVE
Update from January 25, 11:49 am: The press conference in Munich will start in just under ten minutes. We start our live reporting as soon as the protagonists step onto the podium.
Update from January 25, 11:20 am: Bavaria could be facing a reversal in Corona policy today. Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has again announced relaxations for sport in Bavaria, despite the federal and state decision to stick to the previous Corona rules. “It’s not entirely fair that we have 2,000 people in the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and that doesn’t work anywhere else. That we have 15,000 people in some football stadiums, we have ghost games. So if so, it has to be reasonable right away,” said the CSU boss on Monday evening in the ARD daily topics: “And that’s why we will make some adjustments there.” But Söder did not become more specific. Uniform rules would be better, he stressed.
His ministers, the head of the State Chancellery, Florian Herrmann, Minister of Education Michael Piazolo and Minister of Health Klaus Holetschek will announce this and other easing to the press in less than an hour (from 12 noon). We’ll be there live – you can find the results here or in the live stream.
