SINFAPORE, Oct 3 (The Straits Times/ANN): The bus stops in front of the city hall in Frankfurt, the final destination after an eight-day tour through Germany. Six tourists from Singapore alight and once on the open square, most of them remove their masks.

In Germany, masks are currently not compulsory in the open air, and there is no restriction on the size of a group, as long as social distancing - of 1.5m - is maintained.
