The incidence in Germany continues to fall. This also eases the situation in the supermarkets. The Corona rules for July 1st at a glance.
Frankfurt – What did not have to close everything during the Corona * pandemic. Leisure facilities, hairdressers, shops, but one constant remained. The supermarkets were always open. In the meantime, however, the situation in Germany has eased, and the shops have resumed operations with strict measures and security concepts. The emergency brake has been in effect in Germany since April 23. It takes effect in regions with a 7-day incidence of over 100. However, it expired on June 30th.
It’s just as if the incidence in Germany is falling further *. According to the Robert Koch Institute, the nationwide incidence on Thursday (July 1st) was 5.1. And yet it is clear: if the corona numbers rise again, stricter measures will also take effect. But what then applies in the supermarkets of Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Edeka and Co. from July 1st?

Corona rules in the supermarket at Aldi, Rewe and Co.
The corona rules in supermarkets when the incidence rises to over 100:
- Supermarkets with a size of up to 800 square meters are only allowed to let in half of the usual number of customers
- A space of 20 square meters must be made available to each buyer
- For supermarkets with more than 800 square meters, it would be twice as much
The corona rules when shopping when the incidence rises to over 100:
- In DIY stores in particular, shopping is then only possible using the Click & Collect system
- Means: pre-order goods and collect them
- Supermarkets would of course still have opened normally
Rules for shopping: mask requirement and keeping your distance
However, since the incidence in Germany is currently very low, the rules are unlikely to apply in July. The long queues in front of supermarkets are also a thing of the past for the time being. These were warned in April as a result of the federal emergency brake.
As before, when shopping, the rule of wearing an FFP2 mask or a medical mask as well as keeping your distance applies. These rules should stay with us for a while in our everyday shopping. (nc) * fr.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
