The southern German state of Bavaria will partially reopen for tourism at the end of this month, the state's premier Markus Soeder said on Tuesday, with hotels opening their doors for the Pentecost weekend on May 30, albeit with restrictions.
Soeder said that restaurants would also open from mid-May in the wealthy Alpine state, though with distancing requirements to minimize the risk of the coronavirus passing between guests, and they would need to close at 10 pm.
"We will allow hotels and tourism from the Pentecost weekend, the 30th, but without saunas, wellness facilities, or swimming pools," he told reporters.
