Hanover (dpa) - The Hanover Administrative Court has granted several urgent applications against corona exit restrictions in the region of the Lower Saxony state capital.

The court announced on Friday evening that the applicant's duty to observe the restrictions was suspended.

Everyone else must adhere to it.

In the Hanover region, leaving apartments and houses between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. is only allowed with a valid reason.

In the opinion of the court, this encroachment on fundamental rights is not covered by the Infection Protection Act, which places very high demands on the justification of such measures.

In particular, the region “did not adequately demonstrate that the waiver of exit restrictions would lead to a significant deterioration in the level of the risk of infection”.
