Mandatory usage of face masks

Since Monday 27-04, in all German states the usage of face masks (or any cover) was made mandatory in public transport, except Schleswig-Holstein, which followed Wednesday 29-04. The same for shops in all states except Berlin, which followed 29-04. Some regions started earlier with it, the city-county of Jena on 06-04, county Nordhausen on 13-04, both in Thuringia, later the city of Hanau on 20-04, then the states of Saxony on 20-04, Saxony-Anhalt on 23-04 and (the rest of) Thuringia on 24-04. Please consider the development of infections IN AUSTRIA (see wikipedia article), where masks were made mandatory from 14-04, after Easter, daily rate of new infections was reduced BY FACTOR FIVE from average 2.5% before to 0.5% after!

I think you're misread something here, the chart looks fine to me, I don't see a repeat of 2020-02-25 (or 2021-02-25 for that matter). Volteer1 (talk) 09:21, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead section information

I have reduced the length of the lead section somewhat. I concede it is still a bit long. Should the tag for this issue be reinstated, I would propose moving the paragraph on containment/protection stages to the body of the article. Due to the breadth of topics covered, I feel that five lead section paragraphs are justified, even as the overall length of the article does not come close to its German counterpart at present.--CRau080 (talk) 21:43, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How many jabs of vaccine did Germany order on itself and how many through the EU vaccine procurement programm?--2A02:810A:11BF:E564:D4F8:D0BC:47C7:B9E9 (talk) 16:19, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
