In Thuringia, too, the Higher Administrative Court rejected an urgent application against the 2G regulation in retail.
The reason for this decision is the Thuringian Ordinance regulating infection protection measures to contain the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, the court announced on Thursday. The OVG also referred to the current infection situation in Thuringia, which is significantly different from other federal states such as Lower Saxony, where the competent court overturned the 2G rule in retail in December.
The urgent application was made by a nationwide retailer with several shops in Thuringia. According to the communication, the applicant referred to the unequal treatment in her lawsuit. Other retail areas such as bookstores, garden centers and grocery stores are exempt from the 2G regulation because they offer everyday products. However, the trade association Textile Shoes and Leather Goods is of the opinion that the regular purchase of textiles and clothing is also necessary and is now supporting traders in litigation with one Reasoning paper.
In addition to retailers in Thuringia, companies in Bremen and Saxony also failed with their applications last week.
