A German court on Monday lifted the obligation to wear a mask to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the city of Düsseldorf, which would soon adopt a new regulation, AFP reports, according to Agerpres.
The decision, in this industrial city in the west of the country, comes at a time when Germany, rather sheltered from the first wave of the spring pandemic, is currently severely affected by the coronavirus.
On Wednesday, the municipality ordered that masks be worn in public throughout the city, except in parks and cemeteries, if a distance of at least five meters between two people cannot be maintained.
However, following a complaint from a citizen of the city, the court ruled on Monday that the ruling was not clear enough on “necessary conduct” under a fine.
City officials said they want to adopt a new regulation on Tuesday.
In several cases, in recent weeks, political decisions aimed at limiting social life to prevent the spread of the epidemic in Germany have been overturned by judicial decisions.
Therefore, several jurisdictions last month lifted hotel stay bans for German travelers from regions badly affected by COVID-19.
