A German court lifted on Monday 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, reports AFP, according to Agerpres.
The decision, in this industrial city in the west of the country, comes at a time when Germany, quite safe from the first wave of the spring pandemic, is currently severely affected by the coronavirus.
Last Wednesday, the municipality ordered the use of the mask 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 by a city citizen, the court ruled on Monday that the ruling was not clear enough about “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 restricting social life to prevent the spread of the epidemic in Germany have been overturned by court decisions.
Therefore, last month, several jurisdictions lifted bans on staying in hotels for German travelers from regions severely affected by COVID-19.
