Germany Mandates Medical-Grade Facemasks
|
[Business Media Georgia] Amid rising infections and hospitalizations associated with new, more contagious, variants of Covid-19 throughout Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that all individuals in the country would be required to wear medical-grade face masks, as opposed to merely cloth coverings, when in the workplace, on public transportation, and in shops.
Germans will be mandated to wear either single-use filtering facepiece respirator (FFP) surgical masks or FFP-2 masks, such as N95s.
I hope my Sonovia masks will qualify; they are made in Israel, but they do exceed N95 filtration.
Merkel said the threat of the U.K coronavirus variant, known as B.1.1.7., is the primary reason for the intensified regulations.
Germany is the first major European nation to require medical-grade protection, with Austria also set to introduce the same measures.
Over the past few days, France's government has acknowledged they are considering a similar mandate, with the nation's high council for public health declaring that many cloth masks do not guarantee protection against the new variants.
