In June 2021 an investigation was opened after a psychiatrist allegedly issued a false medical exemption certificate to a patient who did not wish to follow a mask mandate.

During the course of the investigation, it was found that the patient in question had posted a series of videos on YouTube, urging followers not to wear a face covering, and challenging the government measures put in place to battle the pandemic.

On Thursday the court confirmed the dismissal of the case against the psychiatrist, saying the investigation had not proven that the medical exemption certificate had been falsified.
