That said government spokesman Hebestreit in Berlin. In buses and trains, where distances cannot be maintained, it has so far been issued for good reason. Transport Minister Wissing had called for the mask requirement to be ended on buses, trains and planes. Minister of Health Lauterbach rejected the initiative in the current situation. The co-governing Greens also objected. The head of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Gassen, advocated an end to the mask requirement in transport.
Die nationwide mask requirement in airplanes and long-distance trains is stipulated in the Infection Protection Act for the time being until the end of September. This also applies to local transport with buses and trains. Starting next Monday, the general recommendation to wear masks in airports and airplanes will be withdrawn. If masks are compulsory in traffic at the departure or destination, this should also continue to apply in the machines.-
