Arnsberg / Lüdenscheid (dpa / lnw) - The Arnsberg Administrative Court still considers the justification for the nightly exit restrictions improved by the Märkischer Kreis to be inadequate.

According to the announcement, on Wednesday the judges granted a first urgent motion against the new version of the regulation.

Further procedures should still be decided.

As in eleven other districts and independent cities in North Rhine-Westphalia, people in the Märkisches Kreis are no longer allowed to go outside the door without a valid reason due to a persistently high number of new infections with the corona virus, according to a general decree.

In a series of urgent proceedings, the judges at the Arnsberg Administrative Court criticized the fact that the nocturnal exit restrictions in the corresponding general decrees of the districts and cities were not well enough justified as a last resort to contain the pandemic.

Although the district has now made a much more extensive justification, it still does not meet the strict requirements of the Infection Protection Act, the court announced on Wednesday.

Concrete findings for the current pandemic situation in the district were missing.

On the other hand, the district had not made plausible that other protective measures were no longer available to it.

Numerous outbreaks have taken place in private households, daycare centers and schools as well as in the professional environment.

The district did not explain why further measures were not taken as a matter of priority that could prevent infections there.

The judges had already ruled similarly in a large number of urgent motions.

The dispute is already pending at the Higher Administrative Court in Münster.
