Münster (dpa / lnw) - The Higher Administrative Court of Münster announced its first decision in urgent proceedings on night exit restrictions in the corona pandemic for this Thursday.

The decision is to be made on a complaint from the Siegen-Wittgenstein district against a decision of the first instance, according to which the judges objected to the curfew, which applied across the district between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. for people without a valid reason, as insufficiently justified.

In close coordination with the state, the Siegen-Wittgenstein district appealed against this assessment.

Other administrative courts of the first instance had recently come to a different assessment than their Arnsberg colleagues in similar urgent proceedings.

Regardless of the outstanding OVG decision on the district-wide regulation, which Siegen-Wittgenstein, like eleven other cities and districts in North Rhine-Westphalia, had obtained by general decree, the citizens of large parts of North Rhine-Westphalia will have to take action anyway when the new federal emergency brake comes into force Set exit restrictions: Where the number of reported new infections per 100,000 inhabitants is over 100 within seven days for three days in a row, people are generally no longer allowed to leave their own apartment or property after 10 p.m.

Walking and jogging alone are allowed until midnight.

With Münster and the districts of Coesfeld and Höxter, only a few places were below the seven-day incidence of 100 on Thursday.
