8.04.2023, 14:59
Wearing a face mask is no longer obligatory for visitors to doctors' offices, hospitals and care facilities.
The provisions expired as set out in the country's Infection Protection Act.
Pandemic-related rules to protect vulnerable populations have been relaxed in several steps.
At the beginning of March, the obligation for visitors to hospitals and nursing homes to show proof of a negative coronavirus test was dropped.
Masking rules in shops, buses and trains have long since fallen away.
