Medical masks will be mandatory from October in nursing homes, hospitals and primary care practices. In some nursing places, including nursing homes, a negative test result must also be shown.
Possible additional measures
Masks remain mandatory on trains that travel long distances, but no longer on planes.
Federal states can take additional measures. This gives them the authority to make face masks mandatory in local public transport, shops, restaurants, and other indoor locations.
Corona tests may become mandatory in schools and daycare centers. Schools can also switch to the mandatory mouth plug.
