Information on dealing with operating restrictions and orders to close businesses

The measures for easing the corona shutdown adopted by the heads of the federal and state governments on 15 April 2020 raise a number of questions because of their partly strict demarcation of boundaries and the different implementation at state level:

- Are there further possibilities for opening up business and operations?
- When is a company systemically relevant?
- Are there claims for compensation and state liability?

We have compiled some initial indications and further information to answer the above questions.
