Corona virus ticker: mandatory mouth protection at schools in Hamburg and NRW

NRW is introducing a mandatory mask at all secondary and vocational schools, which also applies to lessons. At primary schools, the obligation to wear a mask should not apply if the pupils sit in their fixed places in the classroom. The Ministry of Education announced on Monday in Düsseldorf.

The traffic expert of the SPD parliamentary group, Detlef Müller, has asked federal politics to include a mask requirement in the conditions of carriage for Deutsche Bahn. Müller told MDR AKTUELL that there is currently no legal means for train attendants. You could warn passengers without a mask. Usually that’s enough. But if a passenger refuses to wear a mask, only the police can take action.

According to Müller, adjusting the conditions of carriage can solve the problem. The Bavarian Prime Minister Söder had asked that Deutsche Bahn enforce the mask requirement on trains.
