End of the mask requirement? Intensive care physician warns: “It would be a mistake”
On March 20th, all corona measures are to be largely lifted. Intensive care physicians warn of an end to the mask requirement indoors.
“Wearing masks is a proven and simple protective measure. It would be a mistake to give up this means without need,” said DIVI President Gernot Marx to the newspapers of the Funke media group. Masks can be used to effectively protect yourself and others against infection. “The federal states should therefore in any case maintain the mask requirement in public interiors even after March 20.”
