In Germany, a doctor has been sentenced to imprisonment and a ban for illegally issuing a mask exemption certificate during the global epidemic Corona.
According to foreign media, last Monday, the court of the city of Weinheim, Germany, sentenced a doctor to three years in prison for issuing mask exemption certificates to more than 4,000 people during the Corona epidemic. At the same time, he will have to face a three-year work ban.
The court also fined the doctor 29,550 US dollars for what he had collected from people while giving the certificate, while the court also fined the doctor’s assistant 2,700 euros.
During the trial, the doctor argued that wearing masks was harmful to people’s health. The doctor’s lawyers plan to appeal the decision.
Outside the court in Weinheim, many people in support of the doctor protested the verdict and the rules and regulations to deal with the epidemic.
It should be noted that last year, Germany abolished the requirement to wear masks in some indoor places, but it is still mandatory to wear masks during long journeys on trains, hospitals, nursing homes and public transport.
The convicted doctor issued mask exemption certificates to 4,000 people during the pandemic. Most of them are those who have not even been seen by a doctor and have not been examined.
