Late yesterday, the regional court around Heidelberg....stepped into the mandated mask requirement for the mid-town/old-town area. The regional court said 'no', it was not necessary....going against the city council mandate.
A big deal?
Well....the court basically said that your 'duty' to wear the mask out-of-doors....hasn't been proven yet. Basically, they are asking for evidence or science that says otherwise.
Likely that it'll continue upwards in the court system? No doubt.
I would imagine that the various judges around Germany are all sitting there and asking themselves just how far the 'law' can go, and where or how science is supposed to be applied.
On another level of discussion....around Berlin from this past weekend....police came out to halt various bicyclists for wearing no masks. The bikers halted as commanded, then asked the police....to reference the rule.
Well...after the police pulled out the book on virus ban rules....the mask rule applies ONLY to pedestrians (not bicyclists).
I tried to imagine having 10,000 bicyclists riding around, with the mask on....then having shortness of breath.
Why the police went to this measure? My assumption is that some 'boss' ordered it and didn't grasp the whole meaning of the ban rule.
