The question of the "how to enforce" this inevitably lands on the table. There aren't enough cops to check every instance even if they dedicated their entire time to it. So, .gov will have to rely on the will of business owners for that, mostly. No doubt the big brands/supermarket will comply (until they start realizing it seriously hurts business, people might start to go mad at enforcers on a regular basis, troubling the necessary peace inside those consumerist temples)
And I've seen a couple of businesses not giving too much of a fuck about masks, they certainly aren't going to go out of their way to force you to wear one, to begin with
So yeah, there's THAT parameter, that we commonly call reality, which is often overlooked by the rulers

This is happening in china as you probably know, china which is the test bed for lots of shits
Well… It says vaccine passport for the French thing, but here in Germany, we have effectively the same thing.
Creepy testing site tents less than every hundred metres; to do anything (dunno about restaurants), you need a negative test, a vaxx or proof of recovery.
Health care workers were forced to vaccinate this winter already.
The French I know aren't really submissive… but this is concerning. Here, in their neighbouring country, everyone wears masks in every business. No exceptions. That's what I see with my own eyes. Me and my father defied last year for a while, but an old man called security and… we just laughed at him and went on. But later on they forced us to wear FFP2 masks and actual security staff was stationed at malls, you can see a female cop couple make the rounds around each store here daily and it's sickening. At our local store, I had a small chat with a disgruntled clerk. If only, one day, the government goofs up hard and everyone tosses their masks away… preferably before the elections…
We already managed to shut down a big business from building an outlet here to protect our local shops, I think we can do this.
When Amazon and co. drive out the competition, that is when we will live in the idiocracy.

Just to walk down the road or to enter a business or large venue? Can you go grocery shopping?

They’re doing that in certain states in the US along with police, fire and corrections officers.
Grocery shops are fine and this summer enforcement is relaxed; so in the streets there does seem to be some kind of mass deviance, apart from ~10% of weirdos.
The last time it was this relaxed in the streets, it was just before we were forced to wear medical masks and drop the fabric ones, around November.
Many users here predicted they'd relax things in summer, to keep people from snapping with football and olympics.
But this wouldn't be the first time things looked more normal and suddenly, the next day we get stopped when entering a grocery store with mere fabric masks or nothing/a scarf in the case of my little brother and told to wear more expensive FFP2 masks… Which worked before for half a year.
Apparently, Saxony is the first state to lift the mask requirement in every public building since March 2020, but the usual suspects seem to shut that down.
We turned on ZDF one day, one of our main state TV channels, and they with their experts did everything to convince that kids at school still need to wear masks at all times. A few weeks ago, they lifted the requirement at some schools (only in class rooms duh, and they still have to go all they way to open windows every 15 minutes) Now they apparently need to get force tested as well, I wonder if it's just suspicious students or everyone because that's like 500 tests daily per school… As the school year ends this month, many students just don't appear for class. Last year, everyone was able to pass to next school year, and we had "homeschooling" (digital zoom classes, some teachers want it with camera, that don't allow anyone else in the room of the student) this whole year at erratic times; some exams got cancelled this December just because muh third wave and were held for different topics months later. You know what that's doing with the students, many families are at a loss… Three out of twenty students in a class dominate the online lessons, the others can't even take school seriously anymore, yeah.
Here, "homeschooling" isn't really a thing. If you are some kind of celebrity, you may get expensive private teachers to instruct the kid, but usually you need to visit a school physically with no absence of more than ~2 months each year.
I have _never_ actually heard of anyone getting homeschooled in Germany.
tl;dr every business where you don't idle in doesn't require any of your data, others require address phone number, name and since businesses were opened after a period of december-march, coof status also needs to be confirmed
