Merkel explained why no one saw her in a protective mask

German Chancellor Angela Merkel complies with the recommendations of medical specialists to preserve a safe distance and puts on a protective mask only when it is necessary, for example, to go to the store. The politician said this on June 30 at a press conference after a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in Meseberg Castle. When I keep a distance, then I do not need to wear a mask, but when I do not comply with it, for example, when I go shopping, we obviously do not meet, Merkel said in response to a question about why no one saw her in a protective mask. The German chancellor also added that otherwise journalists would meet her in a protective mask, but she does not tell them which places she visits for shopping. In addition, Merkel indicated that she complies with all the requirements of the Robert Koch Institute, which is part of the German Ministry of Health. Of course, there will be other opportunities when I can definitely be seen in the mask, the chancellor noted. Note, as reported by the news agency, earlier it became known that 498 new cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection were detected in Germany per day, and now their total number is 194,259.
