Shopping: Retail shops closed – food stores to open longer

From Wednesday, March 18th, selected shops that do not provide basic supplies will also be closed. Grocery stores are to remain open.

In order to ensure supply of basic foods and other important products, Bavaria is extending the opening hours for certain stores. Supermarkets, grocery stores, drugstores, pharmacies, petrol stations, banks and some selected shops will be allowed to open until 10 pm on weekdays, and on Sundays from 12 pm to 6 pm.

Going out: Reconsider physical contacts – No curfews yet

Furthermore, Söder has called on the people of Bavaria to rethink physical contacts. “There is no curfew, at least not at the moment,” Söder said. But everyone should reconsider the need to go outside and what social contacts they have.

Söder stated that the chains of infection in Bavaria could no longer be traced. “An exponential development is beginning.” That’s why it’s important to do everything possible now to slow down the spread of the Sars-CoV-2 virus. And one of the tools is to rethink physical contacts with other people and slow down public life.

But Söder warned against panic: Stay calm, don’t panic, but remain very determined. He added that this is a stress test and character test for everyone.

Economy: Bavaria provides 10 billion euros aid for Corona crisis

In order to protect the Bavarian economy from the effects of the Corona crisis, the Free State of Bavaria is suspending the “debt brake”.

Bavaria is also providing an aid package of 10 billion euros. This was announced by Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) on Monday, March 16th, in Munich. “The situation is very serious and keeps changing daily – unfortunately, not for the better”, Söder stressed. To enable the provision of funds, the debt brake anchored in the constitution will be temporarily suspended for one year. He said the state of emergency starts with immediate effect.

The 10 billion euro protection package is intended to protect the economy. It includes special guarantee frameworks and emergency financial aid of between 5,000 – 30,000 euros. “We won’t let anyone down,” Söder said. He added that the current priority was to preserve the liquidity of companies and creative artists.
