it has only an advisory. influence at most on the other german federal states but i think they will certainly be looking at it because this cut off with the $800.00 square metres has been controversial also in other places including here in berlin but here's the bottom line what has been made very clear is that this relaxation of the shutdown restrictions depends on everybody starts businesses workplaces and individuals complying with social distancing and hygiene rules if they do that i think that in many places it will be determined that the size of the shop is less important than the policies and rules it has put into place and its ability to enforce them and what also varies from place to place here in germany at the moment is whether there's a fine on violations of behavior now you can be pretty sure that if major department stores don't comply with social distancing regulations and hygiene rules that they will be looking at fines and that they will have every incentive if they wish to open large spaces
