Corona: mask wearing expansion Germany 2020

According to a survey conducted by ARD-DeutschlandTRENDs Oktober in Germany, roughly 63 percent of respondents thought that an expansion of wearing masks, which would make it mandatory to also wear a mask on busy public streets and squares in addition to wearing them in stores and on public transportation, was going in the right direction in order to limit coronavirus (COVID-19) infections. 34 percent thought otherwise.

Is the expansion of the mask requirement to include mouth and nose covering for busy public streets and squares going in the right or wrong direction?
