You can protect yourself and others by reducing your number of contacts and following the DHM+A rules (maintaining a Distance + proper Hygiene + wearing a Mask when there is little space + Airing): https://www.infektionsschutz.de/coronavirus/alltag-in- zeiten-von-corona.html Medical facemasks (also known as surgical masks) or FFP2 masks (including KN95 and N95) are more effective in terms of protection than community masks. That is why you must wear medical facemasks in public transport as well as in shops. It is generally rec- ommended that you use medical facemasks when in-doors. Please also note the rules regarding wearing facemasks that apply in your Federal Land: https://www.bundesre- gierung.de/breg-de/themen/coronavirus/corona-bundeslaender-1745198 If you have symptoms typical of an infection with the coronavirus (coughing, fever, runny nose, or loss of your sense of smell or taste), please call your general practitioner or the out-of-hours patient care services (www.116117.de / Tel. 116117). Proceed to a suitable accommodation, self-isolate and do not receive any visitors. Please use the Corona-Warn-App (https://www.coronawarn.app/de/). Comprehensive information on rules and recommendations to protect against COVID- 19 is also available in various languages from the Federal Government’s Integration Commissioner: https://www.integrationsbeauftragte.de/ib-de/amt-und-person/infor- mationen-zum-coronavirus. .
