Austria makes FFP2 masks compulsory

Copyright: AFPImage caption: Shoppers now have to wear high-grade masks in Austria In Austria people must now wear air-filtering FFP2 masks in shops and on public transport.
The high-grade masks are also required in workplaces where social distancing can’t be maintained, and for visits to doctors or to government offices.
The move comes amid concerns about the spread of more infectious strains of coronavirus. Unlike fabric and surgical masks, which chiefly protect other people from droplets, FFP2 masks also provide more protection for the wearer.
Initially, a number of supermarkets are handing them out for free. Over the long term, the masks will be sold at cost, with plans to price them at about 59 cents.
People who fail to wear an FFP2 mask face a €25 (£22) fine. Those who are unable to wear them for medical reasons will have to carry a doctor’s note. The masks have been obligatory in ski lifts since 24 December.
It comes as the required social distance in Austria has been doubled from one metre to two.
