Face masks have to be worn in all spaces where the mandatory 2m physical distance cannot be respected. This for instance includes supermarkets, other stores, and public transport.

For the time being, “alternative” face masks are also allowed. This includes homemade masks or scarves.

Luxembourg’s Ministry of the Interior and Syvicol, the trade union representing municipal authorities, are organising the distribution of actual face masks.

The Grand Ducal Fire and Resuce Corps (CGDIS) will deliver them to municipalities as soon as possible. The municipalities, in return, will start distributing the masks to residents next week. Each resident will be informed about this process in due time.
