Corona has been determining our lives for more than a year and a half. Since then, many rules have to be followed when shopping too. They will be put to the test in November.


Corona has been determining our lives for more than a year and a half.

Since then, many rules have to be followed when shopping too.

They will be put to the test in November.

Munich - The temperature is falling, the number of infections is increasing. In order to keep the corona virus in check as well as possible, a wide variety of rules, regulations and laws have been in effect in Germany for months - including when shopping in the supermarket. Mask requirement, distance lines at the checkout and sometimes access only with shopping carts or baskets have long been part of everyday life at Aldi, Edeka, Rewe and Co. The measures could be tightened towards November - because this is already the case in some federal states.

In Bavaria, the 3G rule currently applies in almost all districts, because the seven-day incidence there is over 35.

Many interior rooms are only allowed to enter the vaccinated, convalescent and tested.

This applies to restaurants, service providers such as hairdressers and numerous other facilities such as museums, cinemas and sports facilities.

Everyday retail trade - i.e. supermarkets, suppliers and discounters - are explicitly exempt from this rule in Bavaria.

The hygiene concepts of the respective supermarkets therefore continue to apply in November.

Whether it will stay that way for the entire winter cannot be conclusively answered at the moment - especially because two federal states recently even adopted a 2G rule for the entire retail sector.


Corona rules at Edeka, Kaufland and Co .: Is the 2G rule coming in the supermarket?


The governments in Lower Saxony and Hesse have given local retailers the legal option to establish a 2G rule in their branches. Unvaccinated people are therefore excluded in markets that implement the option model. A test (regardless of whether it is a PCR or rapid test) is not sufficient there. Other federal states could follow the example, especially since the German Retail Association (HDE) is in favor of a Germany-wide 2G option model in retail based on the Hessian example.

Whether unvaccinated people can continue to buy groceries in Bavaria therefore depends on Markus Söder, his state government, and above all on the retailers themselves, after all they are not forced to implement the 2G rule.

In the past few days, all of the major supermarket chains have positioned themselves.

The discounters Aldi, Lidl and Netto rejected the can rule for all of Germany, as did the Rewe Group stores (Rewe, Penny, Toom Baumarkt), the Kaufland, Edeka and Real chain - in Lower Saxony, Hesse, Bavaria and elsewhere .

Corona rules: In November, a decision will be made on the future of mask requirements in the supermarket


How it goes with the mask requirement when shopping will be decided in November.

In order to contain the infection rate in Germany, the “epidemic emergency” was proclaimed as the legal basis at the beginning of the pandemic and extended several times.

But it should end on November 25, 2021.

This was announced by the participants in the coalition negotiations about the possible future traffic light government on Wednesday (October 27).

A transitional solution should apply until March 22, 2022, as can be seen from a key issues paper.

The coming weeks and months will show whether this schedule will remain and whether this will mean an end to the supermarket mask requirement in spring.
