The German Bundestag has approved the new Infection Protection Act. Many corona rules are no longer applicable. This also applies to shopping in the supermarket.
Berlin – Originally, a big “Freedom Day” was to be celebrated nationwide on March 20, 2022. Due to the infection process, which remains extreme because of omicron, this plan was rejected again. And yet a new infection protection law was passed, which also affects the corona rules in supermarkets.

In fact, there had been discussions between the federal and state governments due to the further Corona course until the very end. Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) dissects the new Infection Protection Act * according to all the rules of the art. After all: A basic corona protection remains in place, and the countries should also be able to decide independently whether the corona rules in hotspots* should not be tightened after all. This would then also have consequences for shopping in discounters and supermarkets such as Aldi, Edeka or Rewe, while experts fear buying hamsters in supermarkets*. * kreiszeitung.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
