Dresden (dpa / sn) - The state government's Corona crisis team has sharpened the rules for supermarkets in Saxony.

Accordingly, in the future goods that are not part of daily needs must be separated from the rest of the offer.

They may then no longer be sold.

The Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance will be supplemented by the corresponding passage, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Economic Affairs on Friday upon request.

The “Freie Presse” published in Chemnitz had previously reported.

According to the ministry, it is sufficient if the goods are separated using barrier tape, for example. "It is not necessary to remove the goods from the sales area," it said. Things that are not part of everyday life include clothes, books and toys. Other federal states, such as Bavaria, have regulated sales in lockdown differently: there, supermarkets that sell more than 50 percent of everyday goods and groceries are also allowed to offer other goods. According to the "Free Press" there had been controls by public order offices in supermarkets.
