BERLIN — Most of Germany will impose a minimum fine of 50 euros ($59 or roughly P3,000.00) for breaching mask-wearing rules as coronavirus infections rise again, Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday after a virtual meeting with the country’s state governors.
Officials also agreed to extend a ban on big events where social distancing and contact tracing can’t be ensured until the end of December.
In decentralized Germany, imposing and loosening virus-related restrictions is a matter for the 16 state governments, so a patchwork of rules has emerged in recent months. Some areas have imposed no punishment for people who don’t wear masks as required in public transport, shops and elsewhere while others have imposed high fines. (ABC News)
