Munich (dpa) - In the dispute over the corona requirements in Bavaria, the free voters in the cabinet threaten to block an extension of the Bavarian infection control measures regulation.

The background is the interpretation together with the federal emergency brake, which means for Bavaria that of the two regulations in the Free State only the stricter ones would always apply, said Vice-Prime Minister and Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger on Friday at the German Press Agency in Munich.

The free voters also called for Bavaria to adopt the looser guidelines from the Corona federal emergency brake.

"We now have to relax all the things that the federal government allows us as quickly as possible," said Aiwanger.

He announced that he would address the issue in the cabinet no later than Tuesday, but at the same time he hoped for an earlier solution.

The CSU has already been informed, but so far he has not had any feedback.

For Aiwanger, there is a great need for action, especially in the nurseries, as they would otherwise have to throw their plants en masse on the compost.

Even with the nightly exit restrictions in hotspots with an incidence of more than 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants, Aiwanger hopes that the looser federal regulation will be implemented in Bavaria.

According to the current status, only the regulations of the federal emergency brake apply in Bavaria, which are stricter than the previous procedure in the Free State. This meant, for example, that with an incidence of 150 shops or more, even after an appointment has been made and a negative corona test is no longer allowed to be visited. This was previously permitted up to an incidence of 200. Conversely, Bavaria also refrains from sending pupils to distance lessons only with an incidence of 165 or more, here the stricter incidence 100 continues to apply as the limit value.

The Bavarian Infection Protection Measures Ordinance applies until May 9th and must be extended by then at the latest, otherwise it will expire.

"It's annoying enough that we can't be looser than the Bund."

From the current point of view, Aiwanger said he could not support the extension of the regulation.

This would only be conceivable if the number of infections deteriorated dramatically and the situation in the hospitals became critical.
