Berlin (AP) - Norbert Röttgen, candidate for the CDU party chairmanship, considers a nationwide obligation to wear FFP2 masks in retail and local transport to be premature.
You first have to explain to people why FFP2 masks are more effective and where the difference to normal mouth and nose protection lies, he said in the program “Frühstart” on RTL and ntv.
"That has to be said first, then you can talk about controls."
He is in favor of taking the population with us above all else and "that we do not assume that the population does not understand this and that is why there are duties, control and compulsion".
On Tuesday, the Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) announced that an FFP2 mask must be worn in shops and in local public transport in Bavaria from next week. Other federal states initially did not want to join this regulation.
