All of Germany's states have announced plans to make face masks compulsory to combat the spread of coronavirus.
Mask use will be compulsory on public transport throughout Germany and nearly all states will also make face coverings mandatory when shopping.
Chancellor Angela Merkel strongly recommended their use last week when she eased lockdown rules nationwide.
Different countries have issued different guidance on the use of face masks. Austria made them compulsory when shopping at the start of this month.
There are now 2.6 million cases of COVID-19 globally with 181, 235 deaths.
