Public life has changed considerably for most Germans as the wearing of masks becomes mandatory in many public spaces. But there is a patchwork of rules and penalties across the country, with fines ranging from about $16 to $5,400 (€15 to €5,000).
In an interior design store on the main shopping street of Potsdam, just outside of Berlin, all the customers were sticking to the new regulations.Store manager Carolin Hucke said the masks made both her and her patrons feel calmer."I can tell that people are more at ease," Hucke said while wiping shopping baskets with disinfectant, and adding,"they keep their distance and are more sensitive to the situation, but they are also less stressed and just watch out for each other.
But with masks in short supply globally, the German government is scrambling to beef up its inventory, not just for medical professionals but also for general use. The world's largest cargo plane, the Antonov AN-225 -- chartered by the German military -- arrived a shipment of 10 million masks from China at Leipzig airport on Monday. Two further flights are expected to deliver another 15 million protective masks in the coming days.
