On Friday, the corona incidence value in seven Bavarian districts was over 500.

The Upper Bavarian district of Miesbach had the highest incidence value in Germany at 715.7.

The authorities are apparently unclear about the causes.

"The infection process is diffuse," it says from the district office in Miesbach.

You can no longer control it, the numbers rose exponentially.

Contacts would no longer be tracked, and quarantine orders would no longer be checked.

The Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) said this week that there is not only a nationwide, but also a Bavaria-wide north-south divide in vaccination rates. However: In counties with particularly high incidences, the vaccination rate is sometimes above the Bavarian average.

After several municipalities in southeast Bavaria had tightened the corona rules regionally, the state government followed suit on Wednesday: For hotspots with an incidence of more than 300 and a utilization of the intensive care units of 80 percent, the strictest rules of the corona traffic light apply from Sunday Free State.

Much is then only accessible to vaccinated and convalescent people.

As the Bavarian Health Minister Klaus Holetschek (CSU) said on Friday, he agreed with the other countries to monitor compliance with the rules more intensively.
