What are the penalties for violating the Corona rules?

Meet with friends, go to bars or attend events. All this is no longer possible or only possible to a limited extent. The reason for this is the Corona Virus. But those who violate the rules and measures, however, must expect penalties. Fines can be up to 25.000€. But prison sentences are also an option. Therefore we want to point out again what you should pay attention to and which penalties you will receive.

In order to contain the spread of the Corona Virus, Germany has decided to impose a ban on contact throughout the country. This means that no more than two people may meet. You may only be alone or with another person who does not live in the same household. It is also allowed to stay with a person from the same household as, for example, the family. If you are in public places with more than two people who are not part of the family, you will be fined between 100€ and 1000€. The minimum distance of 1.5m must also be observed. Who does not do this, can be punished with fines of 100€. In addition, one can receive a fine of 1000€ if one does not follow the protective measures and hygiene regulations.

However, you must be aware that the measures can vary from state to state. You should therefore find out what rules apply in your state. Here you can find more information about the violations, sanctions and more.

In addition to the corona regulations of the federal states, there is also the infection protection law (IfSG). Who does not adhere to the infection protection law, even threatens a prison sentence. This includes non-compliance with the corona quarantine. This violation can be punished with a fine or imprisonment for up to five years. In addition, anyone who does not comply with the prohibitions on events and other gatherings may face imprisonment for up to two years or a fine. Administrative offences are punished with fines of up to €25,000. This also includes ignoring infection-protective measures.

It is very important to follow these rules and measures. You protect not only yourself but also your fellow men. Only together can this virus be fought. There is no curfew yet. Curfew can be even stricter. For example, you need a written explanation of where you are going. Or you have to be home at a certain time. In order not to let that happen, try to stay at home as much as you can now. Only leave the house for shopping or to visit the doctor. We know how hard it is not to be able to see your friends and family in such a difficult time. But the sooner we follow the measures, the sooner we can resume our daily routine.

We wish you continued good health and patience!
