Schwerin (dpa / mv) - With almost 2500 requests and complaints, people from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania turned to the state ombudsman and the state parliament's petitions committee last year.
One in five submissions was about the measures to contain the corona pandemic, according to communications from the two institutions on Friday for the presentation of their 2020 annual reports.
The Ombudsman Matthias Crone reported that it was increasingly about the proportionality of the restrictions.
This applies to the situation of people in nursing homes and the restrictions on freedom of movement.
The petitions committee mainly received criticism of the closings of schools and kindergartens as well as the entry ban to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, as the committee chairman Manfred Dachner explained.
But the effects of the lockdown on the economy, art and culture were also discussed.
