Visitors to Berlin Christmas markets have to wear a protective mask due to the corona pandemic.
However, this does not apply to stores whose operators rely on the 2G rule, as the Senate decided on Tuesday.
In this case, only vaccinated and recovered people have access, as well as children under 12 for whom vaccinations have not yet been offered.
There are also people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons.
Berlin - as guests of these markets, for which there would also have to be access controls, none of you have to wear a mask.
At all Christmas markets where 2G does not apply, and most of them are due to the lack of access controls, everyone has access to begin with, as Finance Senator Matthias Kollatz (SPD) explained after the Senate meeting.
The 3G rule (vaccinated, recovered, tested) does not apply there, and unvaccinated people do not have to prove negative tests.
The situation is somewhat different in closed restaurants on the area of the Christmas markets. There, the operators can choose whether to use 2G or 3G.
Unvaccinated people would only come in in the case of 3G and would also have to prove a negative corona test.
Such tests have been chargeable for some time.
