A week into the end of mask mandates in Germany, mask-wearing in supermarkets and shopping malls in Berlin seems to have dropped to what appears to be an almost 50/50 split. Funny thing, separate polling numbers relased yesterday and the day before yesterday indicated that 77% (Infratest dimap) or 81% (Forschungsgruppe Wahlen) would continue wearing masks indoors voluntarily even after the end of mandates. They took the pollsters' phone calls and then they flat-out lied to them.
According to a new poll, 58% now say that they're still wearing masks in shops and so on. That seems from my observation far more accurate than the original 80% who said that they're gonna do that after the end of mask mandates in Germany.

Is the government still strongly recommending people to wear them, despite the mandates being gone? Just wondering, as 58% is still a very high number compared to here in Norway - I'd say close to 90% stopped wearing them within a week after the removal of the restrictions. (These days it's very rare to see anyone with masks.)
