A significant increase in new corona infections was recently recorded in New Delhi, India. For this reason, the government has ordered that the mask requirement be reintroduced for the time being. People who do not comply and are caught should be asked to pay the equivalent of six euros.

According to local media reports, the willingness to wear mouth and nose protection in India is said to be very low. In most regions this has been completely abolished. Since the number of new infections has recently risen again in New Delhi, the government is trying to enforce a renewed obligation to cover mouth and nose.

Masks should be worn again indoors such as shopping centers and markets. According to Indian media reports, little has changed in practice since the order came into force, as the vast majority are said to continue to refrain from covering their mouth and nose. According to the government regulation, penalties of six euros could be due.
