Stricter rules for retail: exception for shops with daily needs
The federal and state governments decided in December that unvaccinated people only have access to shops for daily needs.
These include supermarkets, post offices, petrol stations, drugstores, kiosks, health food stores, bakeries, butchers, tailors, laundromats and dry cleaners, flower shops as well as opticians, hearing aid branches, pharmacies and medical supply stores.
In all other businesses, unvaccinated people have to stay outside.
So far, some retailers have even taken legal action against the 2G regulation in retail.
For example, the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court (OVG) overturned the 2G rule in Lower Saxony.
All of the larger chains there have now suspended the 2G regulation in retail.
