New draft law tightens rules on mouth-nose protection in ESWE transportation
A new version of the Federal Infection Protection Act has entered into force. The following rule applies from now on: If the seven-day incidence in Wiesbaden is over 100 for three days in a row, an FFP2 mask (or comparable, i.e. masks of type FFP3, KN95 or N95) must be worn starting the next day. This applies to buses and trains of public transport, in station buildings, on platforms and at bus stops. A medical face mask (op mask) is no longer enough.
As soon as the nationwide "emergency brake" is no longer in force, a medical face mask can be worn as mouth-nose cover in the areas mentioned in addition to the FFP2 or comparable face masks.
Anybody above the age of six must wear a mouth-nose cover. Only persons who cannot wear mouth-nose coverings for health reasons are excluded. A corresponding certificate is required. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people and their accompanying persons are also exempt from this obligation. Detailed information on the approved face masks can be found on the pages of the Federal Institute for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices. A daily overview of the mask obligation in Wiesbaden public transport can be found on https://www.eswe-verkehr.de/corona.
Timetable offer is maintained
Despite the "emergency brake" and associated restrictions in public life as well as the change to distance learning at Wiesbaden schools, ESWE Verkehr maintains the current timetable. ESWE Verkehr continues to use all available long buses, so that passengers can spread out inside the buses. Nevertheless, the mobility service provider asks all passengers who are able to, to avoid the rush hours on weekdays between 7 am and 8.30 am and between 4 pm and 6 pm, if possible.
