In recent days, calls have been growing louder for Germany to drop more Covid restrictions – such as mandatory masks – for vaccinated people. But Health Minister Spahn said he believes wearing masks will remain compulsory in Germany in the coming autumn and winter – at least in indoor public spaces. “(Wearing) masks indoors, especially if there are several people in an indoor area in autumn and winter, they will be needed again, that is very clear,” the CDU politician told broadcaster ARD on Wednesday. “But I think that compared to all the restrictions, wearing a mask is still the most harmless,” Spahn continued. A recent poll found almost half of Germans want to continue wearing masks after the pandemic to protect against diseases.
