To stop COVID-19 infection rates from rising again, we all must wear face masks in certain additional outdoor areas. The obligation to wear face masks applies regardless of the outdoor activity. This means that all people must wear face masks while walking, jogging or resting their feet in these areas; people exercising outdoors are advised to look for spaces less likely to get crowded.
Public areas concerned
The following is a detailed list as of 1 June 2021 of all the streets, squares and public areas in which all persons present must wear face masks.
Please note: in certain cases, the police may make wearing face masks obligatory in additional streets, squares and areas temporarily if this is necessary to prevent infection, especially if there are too many people failing or unable to meet the physical distancing requirements.
If in doubt, please remember that it won’t hurt to wear a face mask in public even if it is not explicitly ordered by the authorities. Also, you can try and avoid certain areas that can be expected to be crowded at certain times of the day.
