Bavaria wants to combat the growing number of infections with corona traffic lights
Before the next Corona summit, the SPD calls for a general mask requirement in busy squares and streets. The number of infections is increasing rapidly in more and more federal states. Bavaria wants to keep the virus under control with a warning light.
On Tuesday the federal and state governments will negotiate new measures in the crown crisis. In particularly affected regions, there should be a tightening, including the catering sector. The federal proposal could generate controversy.
reIn view of the persistently high number of coronavirus infections, the federal government proposes a restriction to a maximum of 25 participants for celebrations in private rooms. In public spaces, the limit must be a maximum of 50 participants, according to a draft federal resolution presented to the German Press Agency in Berlin for the deliberations of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) with the Prime Minister’s Conference of this Tuesday.
First, the newspaper “Bild” reported on the figures. Thus The rules must be applied when the incidence value, which describes the number of new infections per 100,000 inhabitants during a period of one week, is greater than 50. Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is against taking as a reference factors other than the incidence of 7 days.
According to information from the newspaper, the rule is highly controversial among federal states and, therefore, should provoke discussions in the video conference with Merkel on Tuesday. Consequently, for example, Rhineland-Palatinate is against stricter rules on privacy, Lower Saxony does not want to have fixed numbers in the decision.
Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) had advocated for a uniform “Corona traffic light” nationwide, which should be based on current infections and activate a mechanism in the event of an increase. In some federal states this “traffic light” already exists.
The federal government puts into play the ban on serving alcohol
Furthermore, the federal government is not planning any new steps in the economic sector. To allow correct follow-up of contacts, regulatory authorities should be able to prove violations of incorrect personal information in restaurants in the future with a minimum fine of 50 euros.
The alcohol ration should be limited in particularly affected regions under certain conditions. To minimize infections in the restaurant industry, “limited-time alcohol service bans would have to be issued,” according to the draft submitted to the German Press Agency in Berlin.
Merkel warned in a video conference of the CDU presidium on Monday, according to information from participants, of a significant increase in new corona infections in Germany. If they develop weekly, there will be 19,200 new infections a day by Christmas. The Chancellor had extrapolated it, he said. Schools, daycare centers and the economy take priority, Merkel said. You have to address the local sources of infection very clearly, otherwise you would have numbers at Christmas like in France, where the situation is again extremely tense.
