Bremen’s head of government wants the end of the corona restrictions – Bavarian court collects rule on recovered status

the controversial shortening of the convalescent status after a corona infection is according to one Bavarian administrative court in the current form not permitted. The court in Ansbach, Middle Franconia, granted the urgent applications of two convalescents. Accordingly, the old convalescent status of six months still applies to the plaintiffs. However, the court decision initially only applies to the two applicants (Az. AN 18 S 22.00234).

In Germany, the recovered status was reduced to a maximum of 90 days in mid-January based on new guidelines from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). Previously, those affected had the status for six months. The decision had triggered some strong criticism.

As a spokesman for the Ansbach court reported, the judges had doubts that the new regulation was constitutional. They object to the fact that the new regulation no longer specifies a specific period, but refers to the RKI website with regard to the period. “By referring to the website, the legislature does not make this essential regulation about the status of convalescents themselves, but leaves it to an official institution,” court spokesman Timm Waldmann explained the concerns of the chamber.

The court therefore already considered the new regulation to be inadmissible on the basis of the procedure. The judges therefore refrain from examining exactly whether the reduction of the convalescent status is unconstitutional overall. An appeal against the decision can now be lodged with the Bavarian Administrative Court in Munich.
