Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The Schwerin administrative court has criticized the regulations on the curfew in the Corona state ordinance Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The length of the curfew formulated there is too indefinite, the court said on Friday.
It had granted the urgent application of a man who wanted to have it determined that the curfew in the state ordinance does not apply to him (7 B 622/21 SN).
However, when asked by the German Press Agency, a court spokeswoman emphasized that the decision was not generally valid.
So the curfew has not been overturned.
Only the Higher Administrative Court could do something like that, said the spokeswoman.
The decision only affects the man who made the application.
A spokesman for the state chancellery in Schwerin said the state government would examine the decision.
The provision in the state ordinance, according to which the restriction should remain in force until the incidence value of 100 new infections has fallen below within seven days per 100,000 inhabitants on at least ten consecutive days, does not make it sufficiently clear how long the curfew will last, ruled the court.
It also remains unclear when and under what conditions the curfew will be lifted.
The municipalities can impose night curfews between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. in the event of high corona incidence rates and diffuse infection rates.
The property may then only be left with good reason.
Such curfews currently apply in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district and in parts of the Mecklenburg Lake District.

The man who had moved to the Schwerin administrative court wanted to have it determined that the curfew in the state ordinance does not apply to him because of the evening care of his daughter, who lives with her mother.
The court left this question open.
But there is much to be said for assuming a valid reason in this case, it said.
The decision is not yet final.
According to the court, those involved can appeal.
