Thuringia - Constitutional judge: Two-week coronavirus curfew for non-vaccinated people was unlawful
Thuringia's Constitutional Court has declared the extension of a nightly curfew during the Corona Time illegal. This legislation, which was challenged by the Thuringia AfD Faction, affected all people who were not vaccinated or had not recovered from an infection.
The contested regulation, which at the time extended nightly curfews among other measures, did not meet the formal requirements, the Constitutional Court judges ruled on a Wednesday in Weimar. Additionally, they found it to be in violation of the right to physical mobility.
Decision not applicable to entire Corona period
This decision applies only to the validity period of the regulation from January 21 to February 6, 2022, and not to the entire Corona Pandemic, a court spokeswoman informed.
The AfD Faction in the Landtag had demanded a review of the January 21, 2022 regulation. The issue at hand included the permissibility of the restrictions on access, contact, and movement for unvaccinated and recovered individuals at the time. In other respects, the Constitutional Court rejected the Normenkontrollantrag of the AfD as inadmissible.
