The new FFP2 mask requirement in retail is causing a lot of discussion.
There was a shit storm on Saturn's Facebook page due to an offer.
Munich - The people in
Bavaria
were able to get used to the idea that after the big
Corona summit
between
Angela Merkel
and her
Prime Minister
,
FFP2 masks are
now
mandatory nationwide
.
Those citizens who use local public transport will have to get such a
mouth and nose protection
- just like those who shop in retail outlets.
So now there are increasing numbers of online providers who have included
CE-certified masks
in their range.
So does the electronics
store chain Saturn
, which
advertised a corresponding offer
on
.
"From January 18th
In Bavaria, the new FFP2 mask requirement applies in retail and local public transport.
So now order the
FFP2 masks
for more protection for you and others! ”Wrote the“ Saturn Germany ”page with a link to the
online shop

FFP2 masks: "Mr. Söder should make them available free of charge"
The offer: ten “MEDISANA RM100” masks at a reduced price for 29.99 euros - far too expensive for some users.
“With my husband and four children, I'm at the limit for something like that at such prices.
If it comes from here, which I assume, then I am in permanent
quarantine
.
Just ridiculous, ”was one of the top comments.
Many users also make
Bavaria's Prime Minister
Markus Söder
responsible:
“If Mr. Söder wants it that way, he should make it available free of charge.
Otherwise you can keep the overpriced things. ”The comment was answered with over 640 likes.
Even with passionate gamers, the post does not go down well - after all, many are still waiting for their
Playstation 5
: “You can't watch that fast, the FFP's are in the range.
I hope the same will happen soon with the PS5. "
FFP2 masks at Saturn: monthly costs of 100 euros?
The main point of the criticism remains the price of the mask in most of the comment section.
Three euros each is too much, especially for users with families.
“If things are going badly and you have to wear the thing every day because you have to use public transport and / or go to the supermarket every day, you lose 100 euros a month.
How should that work for many people? "
The company has not yet responded to the Facebook criticism.
Since the prices of most providers with certified masks are roughly the same, the anger of the users is more likely to be directed against politics anyway: “Söder has at least shares in Saturn”, is an assumption - probably not meant very seriously.
Nevertheless, the CSU man wants to stick to his policy and maintain the tightening of the mask.
