Because of the federal government's "emergency brake" to contain the corona pandemic, German retailers fear more queues in front of supermarkets and discounters.
With the tightening of the Infection Protection Act, the number of customers who can still be allowed into shops will halve in many regions with a seven-day incidence value of over 100 from Saturday, the German Trade Association (HDE) warned on Friday.
“Politicians risk queues in front of the shops.
And that in times when it is recognized that crowds of people should be avoided for reasons of infection protection, ”said HDE Managing Director Stefan Genth of the German Press Agency.
He appealed to the legislature to return to the old regulation as soon as possible.
One of the largest German grocery retailers, the Schwarz Group (Lidl, Kaufland), also warned that the tightening could lead to the formation of queues in front of the branches instead of equalizing customer flows.
