How is Bavaria implementing the new measures?

Söder criticized even before the Corona summit even started: The Corona summit between the federal government and the federal states on Friday on how to proceed in the pandemic will come “possibly a few days too early” from the point of view of Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU). Söder has already announced that he will comment live after the federal-state summit on how the measures decided will be implemented in Bavaria – and whether there are any deviations.

The previous knowledge on the distribution of the Omikron variant is not yet sufficient to make viable decisions on the basis, said the CSU boss on Thursday morning at “Bild live”: “I would prefer that we advise tomorrow and then rather decide a few days later, when the science base is definitely better. ” Following the Prime Minister’s Conference on Friday, Markus Söder will also speak at a press conference on the effects and measures in Bavaria.

Söder thinks the Corona summit is premature

He still has “no final recommendation paper for a far-reaching decision that is then to be made for millions of people,” said Söder. That is “not a very stable basis for advice.”

He called for a “clear expert basis and legal clarity” – “also in view of the troubled social situation”. Especially for medium-sized businesses and the self-employed, the Corona crisis is now economically “getting down to business”. For them he called for “more support, help and sensitivity”.

Bavaria’s Prime Minister has so far positioned himself as an advocate of particularly strict corona measures. “I remain careful with the team,” he said in the “Bild live” interview. “But also with the team a sense of proportion.”
