It has been an integral part of our everyday life for almost two years: the mask. But that will be over in a few days, the mask requirement will fall in many places. However, retailers can still require their customers to wear mouth and nose protection. MediaMarkt and Saturn have a clear opinion on this.
Whether FFP2, medical mask or mouth covering: the obligation to wear mouth and nose protection has been part of our everyday life for around two years. The new Infection Protection Act now abolishes the mask requirement. After a transitional period that ends on April 2nd, many statutory and nationwide corona measures will expire.
Health Minister Lauterbach therefore recommends that retailers make use of their domiciliary rights and require their customers to wear a mask. However, MediaMarkt and Saturn are rejecting this .
MediaMarkt and Saturn are waiving the obligation to wear a mask
According to the BILD newspaper, from April 2 there will no longer be an obligation to wear a mask in the shops of the two electronics retailers. However, customers can still wear a mask voluntarily. The elimination of the mask requirement is therefore not a mask ban.
MediaMarkt and Saturn are not alone in this. Ikea, C&A, Woolworth, Douglas, Deichmann and many other retailers have also announced that they will no longer be forced to wear a mask . The textile discounter Kik, for example, is completely different. There, customers must continue to wear a mask when shopping.

Federal states can enact stricter rules according to state parliament resolutions
With the new Infection Protection Act, most of the corona restrictions of the past two years will expire. After April 2nd, masks are only compulsory in public transport or in medical facilities such as hospitals. However, federal states can make use of the hotspot rule and impose stricter rules in individual parts of the state according to the resolution of the state parliament . But there are high hurdles, such as an overburdened health system. It is controversial whether entire federal states can also declare themselves hotspots.
