According to Söder, the new requirements of the corona policy are under the motto “stay at home” and essentially rely on exit restrictions and in hotspots also on night curfews. You are only allowed to leave your own apartment afterwards with justified reasons.
Söder can imagine more
Söder indicated in the run-up to a government statement that he can envision further measures. The National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina spoke out in favor of a tough lockdown on Tuesday. The school should take a break from next week until the Christmas holidays, contacts should be “reduced to an absolute minimum”. Shops could also close for the time being.
Here in Franconia there will be night curfews from tomorrow
The Bavarian Prime Minister would join the path if the Prime Minister’s Conference voted in favor. But Söder initially ruled out going it alone again. “We have to reduce contacts and the contacts that we reduce are also in business,” said the CSU chief. For a “hard lockdown”, uniform rules are needed throughout Germany
Votes against

However, the vote was of a more formal nature, as the state government acts through regulations in the corona pandemic. However, there were also dissenting votes from the AfD, SPD and FDP.
In addition, the plan includes the renewed one Declaration of the nationwide disaster, the Switching from students in higher grades to hybrid or complete distance teaching and a nationwide ban on the consumption of alcohol in the open air.
