Masks are compulsory again on the Chancellor’s plane

The Chancellery is taking action: On flights by Chancellor Olaf Scholz, masks are again compulsory in government aircraft.

"In view of the public debate of the past few days, the Federal Chancellery has decided to make it mandatory to wear masks during the entire flight in addition to a current PCR test," said a government spokesman on Monday on request. Scholz flies to Prague with a delegation today.

The test regulations have also been tightened. In addition to a PCR test no more than 24 hours before departure, all passengers also had to take a quick test before checking in. The Air Force relaxed the corona rules for government machines in July.

Since then, there has no longer been a general obligation to wear masks, only a recommendation. However, the Federal President, Chancellor or Minister have the option of ordering additional protective measures.

Scholz had refrained from traveling to Canada with Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens) last week. A video and photos from the outbound flight then caused massive public criticism.

Habeck and numerous journalists sitting close together without masks could be seen on it. So now all passengers have to wear FFP2 masks again. Masks are also compulsory on all scheduled flights to and from Germany.
