Around 27 million people in Germany were supposed to receive three FFP2-masks at the pharmacy for free, starting Tuesday, December 15th. Part of the risk group are people who are older than 60 years, women with a high-risk pregnancy and those with chronic and severe illnesses, such diabetes, cancer, asthma and cardiac insufficiency. This was decided in a decree by the Federal Ministry of Health. However, research conducted in Tübingen by tünews showed that pharmacies have not yet received the masks. They assume that they will probably be able to give out masks by December 18th. People can then pick them up until January 6th. Persons over the age of 60 receive three masks if they show their I.D. Chronically and severely ill people have to comprehensibly explain that they belong to a risk group.
