“The principle remains that all people are encouraged to minimize physical-social contact with other people and to maintain a minimum distance of 1.50m,” said Berlin Mayor Michael Müller (SPD) at the start of the Senate press conference. On Tuesday, he also stressed that everything is still not clear for Corona. “We should not allow a relapse,” he said, and together with Klaus Lederer (left) and Ramona Pop (Greens) they introduced the following regulations to relax the exit restrictions that will apply in Berlin from now on.
► People in Berlin starting next week (April 27) by bus, S and U-Bahn Wear mouth and nose protection.. The Senate on Tuesday decided on a mandatory mask to curb the transmission of the coronavirus. Unlike several other federal states, it should not apply to retail. Such protection is “highly recommended” there, as well as in contact with people at risk. Not only simple surgical masks or self-stitched models count as a mouth-nose cover, but also a cloth or scarf. Distance rules and access restrictions, like in stores, cannot be strictly observed on public transport, which is why mouth protection must be introduced there, Müller says. “We will make sure that it offers free masks through decentralized issuing agencies for those who cannot afford them,” Müller continued.
There is currently no penalty for the obligation to wear a mask. “We believe this can also be done without a fine, but we will observe it,” said Michael Müller.
