What has long been true in Berlin:

► 2G when shopping. Access to shops is restricted to vaccinated and convalescent people. Shops for daily needs, i.e. supermarkets, drugstores and pharmacies are excluded.

► 2G in theaters, cinemas and restaurants. Access only for vaccinated and convalescent people. In addition, tests could also be prescribed (2G-plus).
