How expensive it can really get in the event of violations of the nationwide corona emergency brake is shown by the often widely differing fines in the federal states.

The tightened corona measures have an impact on many areas of society.

The

nationwide emergency brake

has been in place since April 24, when the incidence exceeds 100

- combined with

night curfews

and

contact restrictions

.

Whoever does not follow the rules could - depending on the type of violation - have to dig deeper into their pockets.

Violation of corona rules - possible fines

The

editorial network Germany

reports on the

possible fines

that can

be imposed

if

the corona rules

are

violated

.

In most cases, the violation constitutes an

administrative offense

that is punishable by a fine.

The law provides for payments of

up to 25,000 euros

.

The maximum will only be due "in the case of blatant violations, possibly in the case of recurrence, but not in the case of petitessen", emphasized

RND.de

, the health policy spokeswoman for the Union

parliamentary group

, Karin Maag.

"When calculating the fine, proportionality must always be observed in the specific case."

The amount of the fines varies considerably depending on the federal state

In everyday life, 100 to 500 euros can be expected, writes the portal.

The

amount of the fines also

varies "depending on the federal state, sometimes considerably" - the report gives a few examples:

  • Saxony-Anhalt

    levies a

    fine of 50 euros

    for violations of the contact restrictions in public

    .

    In

    Rhineland-Palatinate

    or

    Thuringia

    , the same violation could

    cost

    200 euros

    , according to the report.

    "In Berlin, a payment of between 50 and 500 euros is due for violations."

  • According to the report, unauthorized private meetings cost

    up to 500 euros

    in

    Baden-Württemberg

    .

    "In Saarland, up to 100 euros per person involved are due for this."

  • In

    Bavaria

    , according to the report, there is a risk of a

    fine of 500 euros

    if you stay outside the apartment during the night curfew without any exceptional

    reason

    .

    "In

    Thuringia

    and

    Saxony, however

    , this offense costs

    100 euros,"

    writes

    RND.de

    (as of April 24).

Tightening of the corona measures - nationwide night curfew

The new federal law to

tighten the corona measures

provides for nightly curfews between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. if the so-called

seven-day incidence

(infections within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants) is over 100 on three consecutive days

in a city or a district

.

Only people who can make “justified exceptions” - such as compelling professional reasons or emergencies - are allowed to stay outside.

Jogging and walks should be allowed until midnight.

Stricter rules in the federal states are, however, still possible here.

In Bavaria, for example, jogging and walking in corona hotspots are prohibited from 10 p.m.
