Corona rules: Lawyer shoots Merkel and Söder - "Don't let me lock me up at home"

At the same time, he corrects what he sees as a widespread misunderstanding of the Infection Protection Act.

Coronavirus in Germany: case law on the Infection Protection Act in sight

As far as the previous case law on the Infection Protection Act is concerned, Vielmeier (who emphasized in the course of the conversation that he was not an administrative lawyer himself) praised the

His conclusion on the Bavarian approach to combating corona: “Fundamentally wrong”.

Because: "The ban on safe behavior is unsuitable." In this context, he also doubts travel restrictions in Germany, a ban on serving from 10 p.m. and a curfew.

Lawyer is certain: "Yes"

Does Vielmeier also have constructive criticism?

In his opinion, which corona measures should be retained?

The lawyer counts:

• Minimum distance

• no major events

• Limitation of gastro visitors ("especially in closed rooms")

• Mask requirement ("city-wide no, maybe yes in the pedestrian zone")

Since new pandemic rules have been devised every “week”, the population's approval for them has waned, believes Vielmeier - and they also have to be enforced.

"Allegedly, according to surveys, the approval of the corona measures is so high, but everyone makes their rules very selectively in practice," he warns.
