Potsdam (dpa / bb) - In Brandenburg there has been a tightened mask requirement since Saturday - in the shops, people seem to adhere to it.

"We have not had any complaints so far," said Nils Busch-Petersen, managing director of the Berlin-Brandenburg trade association, on Saturday afternoon.

Since Saturday, surgical masks, FFP2 masks and those with the designation N95, P2, DS2 or KN95 must be worn in local public transport, in shops and offices.

According to the Ministry of Health, masks with an exhalation valve are not permitted.

Everyday masks made of fabric are no longer enough.

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.
