Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder does not want to give up his Easter holiday yet.
So far it is still unclear whether traveling at Easter will be possible: "The Easter holiday will be decided in the next three weeks," said the Prime Minister on Friday in Munich following a conversation with Chancellor Angela Merkel, Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (both CDU) and Bavarian district administrators and mayors.
Instead of a step-by-step plan for easing the corona measures, Söder brought up an “intelligent opening matrix”.
This should offer a wide range of instruments to react to the development of the infection situation.
He assumes that politicians will look at the development until the next Prime Minister's Conference on March 3 and then implement the concepts, said Söder.
Then it could also go quickly with openings.
What will be decided in the coming weeks should then also apply for months.
Söder said it was important not to think in rigid stages, but to achieve a flexible set of instruments.
If, for example, a district achieves a seven-day incidence of less than 35, it should not automatically lead to a return to measures if this value is exceeded again for three or four days.

As a possible easing, Söder reiterated the priority for schools.
In addition, more contacts should be made possible and with an incidence of less than 35 openings in stores.
However, it must be carefully balanced regionally, how shopping tourism from counties with a still closed trade in counties with open shops can be prevented.
