From now on, residents in nursing homes can only be visited with an FFP2 mask.
Due to the increasingly dramatic corona situation, stricter rules now apply in hospitals and nursing homes in the southwest, as the Ministry of Health announced to the dpa on Wednesday.
Visitors now have to wear an FFP2 mask instead of just a medical mask during their entire stay in the facilities.
Stuttgart - A medical mask is sufficient for children up to 14.
Nursing staff who have contact with patients must now also wear FFP2 masks.
The mask may no longer be taken off in nursing homes in the rooms of vaccinated residents or even outdoors.
