The European country of Germany has made facemasks compulsory, as the country has brought in a new law related to that.

The new law is an attempt to reduce the spread of the coronavirus outbreak – which has brought the country to an unpleasant state.

The new law means no person in Germany shall be allowed to come out in public without wearing facemasks.

The law makes using facemasks in public transport and shops – as well as similar public gathering spots compulsory.

Each state has its own special model of implementation. Bavaria is the state where the law has been imposed in a very strict manner, while Berlin is the state where the law has been implemented in a relaxed manner.

Germany is not likely to remove its restrictions in one go. It is expected to withdraw the restrictions in a step-by-step manner. It remains unclear when exactly the restrictions will be completely withdrawn.

Meanwhile, the WHO contradicts Germany’s suggestion on facemasks, its advice suggests people should wear protective masks only if they are sick and showing symptoms, or if they are caring for people suspected to have Covid-19. As per the opinion of the WHO, masks are not recommended for the general public because they can be contaminated by coughs and sneezes, and might offer a false sense of security.
