The government of Upper Bavaria has targeted an Altötting doctor on charges of, among other things, the mask requirement.
The physician Hans-Ulrich Mayr is "currently being examined from a licensing point of view," said a spokesman on Monday.
The reason for this was the man's “media-known statements and requests”.
Several media had reported that Mayr had declared the corona pandemic ended on a notice on his practice door and asked patients to take off the mask.
Among other things, Mayr, who sits on the Altötting city council for the AfD, treated a patient in a senior citizens' home without wearing mouth and nose protection.

Mayr rejected the allegations.
The notice that said that patients should not wear a mask in his practice had “a fictional character”, “because it was only displayed for a short time and outside of office hours,” he wrote to the President of the Bavarian Medical Association, Gerald Quitterer.
“I haven't turned away a patient who wears a mask.
That would blatantly run counter to our medical task. ”When treating the elderly woman, he only took off the mask because he himself suffered from shortness of breath due to a previous illness.
That he doubted the existence of a corona pandemic, Mayr explained in a statement to the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" by saying that he defined the word pandemic differently than the WHO.
For him, there is no pandemic in the "epidemiological-medical sense", but a serious, contagious disease.
Corona is not a pandemic in a medical, but in a political sense.
