Presently, there are only a couple of mandated places where you wear the Covid-mask in Germany: on buses, on trains, at a doctor's office, and while flying.
If you asked me about the in-stores business....I'd tell you that it ranges from 20-percent and 50-percent on people masked up....on their own....in grocery operations. The older the person....the more likely they will be masked up.
There's chatter from yesterday...that the Health Minister (Lauterbach) spoke to the necessity of mandating mask rules again by the fall.....expecting Covid to return.
Masks still being readily sold? If you walk into a pharmacy or grocery operation....there's always a box out with masks listed. No discounted price.....the stores aren't afraid of holding them for long periods. Covid test kits at the grocery stores? Almost never seen now.
I drove by the village Covid test center yesterday. It's still open but I doubt if the 'kid' running it.....has more than five customers per day. Free-testing was halted, and you have to pay 15 Euro for the test....out of your pocket. Closing anytime soon? I think the 'center' (private operation) will stick it out and wait for the fall to arrive, with massive Covid occurring....hoping the government's free test program starts back up.
As for the return of the mask 'period'? I expect the topic to be near the topic by mid-September. Course, we have that Monkey-pox thing to worry about now as well.
