Of the pandemic put the worlds Holiday Plans on hold. If hello im terry martin welcome to the program in parts of asia that have been successful in controlling the coronavirus like south korea taiwan or vietnam wearing face masks is the norm now other parts of the world are slowly adopting the practice as a key measure to limit the spread of the infection from today all over germany mouth and nose coverings are mandatory in certain public spaces as hoped the rules will help prevent those who are infected but dont know who they are from passing on the virus. Political correspondent Thomas Sparrow is following this story good morning thomas tell us in what situations are people now required to wear masks here in germany. So in all German Federal states people will have to wear mosques on public transport and in most German Federal states people will also have to wear the mosques when they go into shops for example here in berlin that is an exception for people in berlin do not have to wear a mask when they go in to shop although authorities have said that they do recommend people to do so but in general terry you can say that those rules made by the German Federal states in particular so there are certain differences also when it comes to the inforcing of these rules so you can say that in all German Federal states as of this week people will have to wear masks on public transport of course or all sorts of ways to cover your mouth take a look at some basic types of sedentary masts. Not all mosques are created equal we can generally distinguish between 3 main types. Will turn face piece or f. F. T. Must fit snugly around the nose meth and chin and filter out the tiniest airborne particles the most effective type lets know viruses in arrives and thats the nation involved makes breathing easier creases the risk of viruses escaping someone unsolved f. P. Mask protects both the wearer and the person they encounter with a valve a sony reliably protects the wearer f. P. Masks are in short supply worldwide so they should be mainly reserved for medical personnel a mass that so often seen nowadays is this simple protective face piece for them as the nose known as a surgical mask consists of several layers of paper none woven fabric with a thin wire to make a fish over the nose when the wearer coughs or sneezes the mouse blocks the large droplets but an inhalation air also flows in over the sides that means that many protects others from infection rather than. The wearer once the mouse is west from breathing after a shower was wearing time at the most is has to be discarded in the covert 19 crisis professionally manufactured mass are in short supply leading to a flourishing Cottage Industry in d. I. Y. Mass. Whether using handkerchiefs t. Shirts or vacuum cleaner bags people all around the world are revving up their sewing machines. A cloth basket functions rather like a surgical mask helping to pluck the droplets from the wearers my eyes the nose droplets that can spread the coronavirus. Cloth must also be washed and reuse. The most important thing no matter which mask you wear its still essential to follow basic hygiene measures like there are hand washing and keeping a safe distance from others. So those are some basic mask types thomas what kind of bursts are people being advised to wear here in germany terry already mentioned the shortage of mosques so certified mosques should be as we saw in our report reserved for Health Care Professionals so the types of mosques that you mostly see in germany are the other 2 types that we saw in our report either textile d. I. Y. Mosques or surgical mosques those are the ones that you clearly see here in the streets in germany the key element stressed by authorities is that they should cover your mouth and your nose thats a sort of key element here but youre not required to use a sort of professional in mosques those i say should be kept for Health Care Workers in particular so whats being done then to assure that there are enough masks for everyone as everyone expected to make the room. There are different measures so on the one hand im an authority to have stressed that local companies should increase their production then a 2nd element is using already available supply chains that are available by German Companies to bring those mosques to germany and a 3rd element and this one is particularly important is the german army is also participating in bringing mosques to germany and in fact today a big container of 10000000 mosques from china will arrive in the german city of leipzig in fact the german minister of defense will be there to receive those mosques and that is one of 3 big shipments of mosques that will come from china to germany so theres a 3 elements 3 ways in which germany is trying to make sure that in of enough mosques are available here in the country tell us thank you very much tell us spare our political correspondent.
