MUNICH, March 20 (Reuters) - The German state of Bavaria will impose general restrictions on going outside for two weeks in a bid to slow the spread of the coronavirus, state premier Markus Soeder said on Friday.

“It’s not easy to take these decisions,” Soeder said. “We take these decisions according to the best of our knowledge and conscience. There will be a Bavaria after corona, but it will be a stronger one if we don’t look away.” (Reporting by Joern Poltz; writing by Thomas Escritt; editing by Thomas Seythal)
