Altötting (dpa / lby) - The government of Upper Bavaria has targeted an Altötting doctor because of allegations in connection with the mask requirement, among other things.
The doctor Hans-Ulrich Mayr is "currently being examined under licensing aspects," 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. "
During the treatment of the elderly woman, on the other hand, he only took off the mask because he himself suffered from shortness of breath due to a previous illness.
In a statement to the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Mayr said that he doubted the existence of a corona pandemic 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.
