The number of infections is increasing.
The situation in the intensive care units is becoming more critical.
Deutsche Bahn takes measures with regard to mask refusers and "lateral thinkers".
Munich - Mask refusers, "lateral thinkers": In times of the coronavirus pandemic, scandal occurs again and again in Germany.
Background: The regulations to contain the pandemic.
For example, 400 “lateral thinkers” recently came to Frankfurt to demonstrate against the Corona measures.
At an anti-corona demo in Stuttgart, “lateral thinkers” attacked a Tagesschau team.
Violations of the mask requirement and the minimum distance regulation are nothing new.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) also has to contend with those who refuse to make masks and “lateral thinkers”.
A consistent approach was announced at the end of December.
The railway had announced that it would issue exclusions from carriage if passengers were repeatedly found on trains without a mask.
Action followed.
As a report from
Welt am Sonntag shows
, Deutsche Bahn has imposed the first nationwide train bans on Corona “lateral thinkers”.
Coronavirus: Deutsche Bahn imposes train bans on "lateral thinkers"
The railway had a “low double-digit number of exclusions from transport or house bans”.
A spokeswoman for the
world
said
on Sunday
.
According to the report, the imposed train bans apply for six months.
Accordingly, the mask refusers are not allowed to travel by train in regional or long-distance traffic or enter a train station during this time.
Such an exclusion from carriage is difficult to control.
However, should those affected be caught, Deutsche Bahn can file charges of trespassing.
Those affected face criminal proceedings in addition to a fine.
The railway has not yet identified any violations.
According to the report, the train bans were imposed in particularly drastic cases of violations of the mask requirement.
At the end of December, some of those affected belonged to a group of corona deniers who filmed themselves in a regional express near Dresden harassing other passengers without a mask.
They then posted the video on the Internet - proof enough for Deutsche Bahn to have been banned from transport.
In Germany, however, the number of corona cases is increasing.
The Infection Protection Act is to be tightened.
The British mutation B.1.1.7 in particular contributes to the infection process.
