After criticism of the obligation to wear FFP2 masks in shops as well as in buses and trains, which will apply in Bavaria from Monday, Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has announced that he will waive penalties for the first few days.
There will be "a week of goodwill", said Söder on Wednesday in Munich.
After a week, sanctions and fines should be imposed for violations.
Söder also announced that children under the age of 15 will be exempt from the FFP2 mask requirement.
In addition, the Free State will provide two and a half million masks free of charge for people in need.
The agreements on this with the municipalities have already started.
Berlin daycare centers are well filled in the corona lockdown - although they are actually only supposed to offer emergency care for children in individual cases.
The Verdi union pointed this out on Wednesday.
According to her, the occupancy rate in the in-house daycare centers is 43 percent, and 63 percent utilization can be expected for the coming week.
