Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) calls for a gradual exit strategy before the federal-state meeting on Wednesday from the corona restrictions. “If the omicron peak is reached and the health system is still intact, it is necessary to start exiting,” said Söder of the German Press Agency in Munich. He advocated a phased plan to gradually reduce the corona rules. At the same time, he called for a longer-term legal basis for protective measures such as the obligation to wear masks and distance rules, as well as an emergency strategy for possible new waves.
“A step-by-step plan is required for the exit“Soder emphasized. “First of all, 2G can be abolished nationwide in retail and switched from 2G plus to 2G in gastronomy. In addition, more spectators should be allowed nationwide: 50 percent in sport with a limited maximum number and 75 percent in culture. ”In Bavaria, Söder had recently relaxed the corona rules accordingly.
In addition, Söder demanded End of contact restrictions – So far, a maximum of ten people have been allowed to come together privately, provided that everyone is vaccinated or recovered. As soon as an unvaccinated person is present, only a household with two other people is allowed to meet. “The contact restrictions in the private sector can now also be lifted,” emphasized Söder. Then a schedule is needed “how and when to switch from 2G to 3G”. Söder, on the other hand, does not see the opening of clubs and discos as a first step. “The areas that can be opened last are certainly clubs and discos with 2G plus,” he explained.
