Corona: controls in Nuremberg are a mammoth task – Nuremberg

Mask controls in Nuremberg: police take action

During the Christmas season, under normal circumstances, there is a lot going on at and in German train stations. In view of the continued high number of corona infections, the police and public transport operators are increasingly checking compliance with the mask requirement in the Free State on Monday. Compliance with the mask requirement was checked not only in Nuremberg, but also in Regensburg.

A violation that is also checked does not necessarily have to result in a fine. “In the area of ​​administrative offenses, the officials always act according to the principle of opportunity and according to due discretion,” said Bauer. According to the 2020 safety report, a total of 145,640 controls of the corona measures were carried out, 47,240 violations were found.

“As with other intervening situations, there are also understanding citizens as well as those who are unapologetic and may seek confrontation with the police,” says Bauer. Talking only helps to avoid escalating a situation.

One tries

It remains a mammoth task. Because the controls to comply with the corona measures are only part of the police’s area of ​​responsibility – even if infection protection seems to be the current determining issue. “The police are trying to cover this area professionally,” as Bauer emphasizes. So one agrees on the measures with the city of Nuremberg.
