IIn Bavaria, outdoor dining, cinemas and theaters should be allowed to open from next week, provided the seven-day incidence in the respective district is stable below a hundred and hygiene concepts and negative corona tests are available. This was announced by the Bavarian Prime Minister and CSU Chairman Markus Söder on Monday after a board meeting of his party. For the time of Pentecost, Söder also announced that hotels and holiday homes will be opened if the incidence is below a hundred.

Bavaria is also planning to make things easier for schoolchildren. The primary schools are to be opened up to an incidence of 165. Distance teaching is currently practiced at schools in Bavaria with an incidence of more than a hundred, with the exception of final classes. The Bavarian cabinet should decide this Tuesday on the easing announced by Söder.
The Free Voters, coalition partners of the CSU, let it be known that the easing was not going far enough for them. Its chairman, the Bavarian Minister of Economic Affairs, Hubert Aiwanger, told Bavarian television that the hotels should “open well before Pentecost – preferably before the Austrians on May 19th”.
According to Söder, several restrictions should be eliminated as soon as possible for those who have been completely corona vaccinated and those who have recovered. The planned federal ordinance will be implemented immediately by the Free State, for example to abolish test and quarantine obligations. In the case of corona-related contact restrictions, those who have been completely vaccinated and those who have recovered should no longer be counted. As an example, Söder referred to upcoming confirmations, for which this could already apply.

Vaccinated and convalescent people should also no longer be affected by the exit restrictions. However, these people would still have to adhere to the mask requirement and hygiene rules, because there is “always a very small residual risk,” says Söder. In old people’s and nursing homes, he made easier access dependent on a further vaccination, because there are still unvaccinated people there.
Söder also demanded legal certainty from the federal government for doctors if they draw a dose more from a vial of vaccine than officially permitted. This is possible with care and the right syringe, but the responsibility and liability risk has so far been borne by the doctor. Söder also spoke out in favor of deviating from the previous prioritization earlier than planned by the federal government. Company doctors, for example, should vaccinate workforces as early as May.
