title: [Appropriate administrative measures in the case of infectious diseases in public facilities].
abstract: This contribution presents a survey of the obligatory measures to be taken according to German Law in the case of the outbreak of infectious diseases in public facilities. The analysis is based on a decision by the German Federal Administrative Court in the year 2012, BVerwGE 142, 205 ff. The author subjects the intepretation of the term suspicion of an infectious disease in the sense of § 2 Nr. 7 IfSG (law for protection against infection) to a critical appraisement. The article closes with a check-list on the legally appropriate measures to be taken in the case of an outbreak of infectious diseases in public facilities that is intended for practitioners in the health services.
