Potsdam (dpa / bb) - Since Saturday, everyday masks made of fabric are no longer enough everywhere in Brandenburg.
There is a stricter mask requirement.
In public transport, in shops and in offices, Brandenburg people have to put on better protective masks.
According to the state government, these include FFP2 masks, surgical masks and those with the designation N95, P2, DS2 or KN95 - but without an exhalation valve.
On buses and trains and in shops, people seem to stick to it.
"We have not yet had any complaints," said Nils Busch-Petersen, managing director of the Berlin-Brandenburg trade association, on Saturday.
"I think people have slowly got used to it."
Joachim Radünz, spokesman for the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association, said: "60 to 80 percent of the passengers had already used FFP2 masks when the obligation was still under discussion and did not even apply".
Violations are only rare.
«The control system has proven itself.
We only have very few outliers, ”says Radünz.
However, some forget that the mask requirement also applies at train stations and platforms.

According to the city, employees of the public order office in Potsdam checked compliance with the stricter mask requirement.
First of all, it is about informing people, said spokesman Jan Brunzlow.
There are no major controls with the police.
At the beginning of next week a balance should be drawn.
The police do not check compliance with the mask requirement, the public order offices are responsible for this.
However, joint patrols are always made.
However, according to the police headquarters in Potsdam, there was no such thing at the weekend.
Checks are carried out as part of the daily patrol, said spokesman Mario Heinemann.
According to the police, the data of those affected will then be transmitted to the health authorities.
