Violations of protective measures against coronavirus: What is the current situation in Hessen?
Strict controls are already taking place in Hesse to ensure compliance with corona protection measures. For example, the police are monitoring the nationwide ban on contact in parks, playgrounds, sports fields, and restaurants. However, there are currently no possibilities to actually punish offenses.
So far, the police are mainly relying on clarifying discussions and, if necessary, can issue reprimands. A fine for offenses is not yet due. After initial difficulties with exit restrictions and contact bans, the cities in Hesse are now hardly registering any major offenses.
„Anyone who continues to behave in such an unsolidary manner and arranges to play football in the park or secretly celebrates Corona parties is endangering the lives of his fellow human beings,“ the ministers announced. However, the vast majority of the population has so far complied with the necessary restrictions in everyday life. The state government wanted to publish the complete Corona fine catalogue under corona.hessen.de.
