On the platforms of Munich station, the FFP2 mask is on everyone's faces.
Faced with the English and South African variants of the coronavirus, this type of mask is now mandatory for Bavarians on public transport and in stores.
In Austria, the government has opted for the same regulation.
Indeed, the FFP2 mask would be more effective than the others in protecting the wearer from the latter, in addition to the environment from projections of large droplets, such as barrier and surgical masks.
In France, the regulations are not at the wearing of this type of mask.
Olivier Véran recommends for the time being to "be careful that the general public mask that one wears corresponds to industrial standards", with a filtering power of at least 90%, after new recommendations from the High Council of Health public.
"Most of the masks that we have distributed on the national territory" correspond to these standards, assures the Minister of Health.
However, a handful of Parisians have already come to terms with the FFP2 mask.
This is the case of Isabel, a young Parisian who went to a supermarket to replenish her stock.
"I wear this mask because I feel more secure there," she assures us.
For pharmacist Candice Breton, "wearing it daily is not necessarily interesting".
"But in public transport, like the metro which is crowded, it can be consistent."
