Lüneburg (dpa / lni) - The Lower Saxony Higher Administrative Court (OVG) has expressed considerable doubts about the means of exit restrictions in the fight against Corona.

The OVG confirmed the decision of the Hanover Administrative Court on Tuesday.

This had stated that the ordered exit restriction in the Hanover region is likely to be illegal in individual cases.

The objection of the Hanover region to the decision of April 2 was rejected by urgent decision, as the OVG in Lüneburg announced.

The exit restriction is not a necessary protective measure since it violates the principle of proportionality.

The Hanover region then revoked the corresponding general order in the evening with immediate effect.

Previously, leaving apartments and houses there between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. was only allowed with a valid reason.
