You can now see them at every shop, at hairdressers, doctor's surgeries, at the entrance to restaurants, to old people's homes, at sports fields, at schools, hospitals, in other words everywhere in public life - the new signs. They announce new regulations, rules, do's and don'ts in times of corona regulations.
County - Some things have got used to. When entering a shop, the mask or scarf is automatically strapped in front of the face, keeping the prescribed distance has become a matter of course.
In addition to the obligation to wear a mask, there are new regulations and calls
There are signs of all kinds about these new obligations. But in addition to the mask requirement and the distance regulation, there is an almost unmanageable number of new regulations or calls, some of which have grotesque, sometimes humorous features.
A veterinary practice wants only one person to accompany his animal and discourages conversations in the waiting room because of possible droplet scattering, although a mask is also required here. The dog sports club in Lichtenau, who also trains outside, has drawn up a long list of prohibitions and rules.

One reads, among other things, that “gas laps before training are only possible in exceptional cases” or “water bowls and water for the dogs are to be brought by every dog athlete themselves and may only be touched by them”. But you also learn that there are exceptions "In special cases, dog water can be provided by the trainer with disposable gloves."
Only touch what is bought
The anglers at Soiersee in Bad Bayersoien are no longer allowed to fish together. According to the regulation, no private boat may be launched into the water.
In some clothing stores and bookstores, a leisurely stroll is made more difficult by instructions such as "Do your shopping quickly" or, and this is almost even more remarkable: "Take only the goods in your hand that you actually want to buy". A guideline that makes a planned stress-free trousers purchase almost impossible.
There are also clues that are frightening, but are rather the exception. For example, the reference to a poster in front of a barber shop "Please understand that due to the Corona requirements, it is currently not possible for us to serve children under the age of twelve due to the infection routes and minimum distances".
Some also take it with humor
And there are funny, creative signs that cheer up a little in the dark corona time. An optician in Schongau has designed a funny poster that, among other things, offers to deliver the contact lenses and care products to your home "So you can continue to see sheep" is written under a beautifully painted sheep. And a pharmacist in Rott advises on his sign to sing “Happy Birthday” while washing his hands.
