+UPDATE+

As I flagged up here last week
Germany now moving to refine policy on Coronavirus:

1. Relax restrictions on shopping (esp small retail outlets)
2. Extend social distancing rules into summer
3. Block mass gatherings into autumn

This fits to German research conclusions.

There is some debate in German health authority/govt circles of going further and preparing population to make a quid-pro-quo..

...relaxing shopping / working restrictions..while recommending social distancing restrictions & mass gathering bans remain in force into 2021”.

Reasoning behind this is that mass use of masks would mitigate the additional risks of shops/workplaces being opened to an acceptable degree.

You’ll remember I flagged up earlier that the German govt no longer believes small scale shops are significant “virus transmitters”.
