  • An image shared on Twitter allegedly shows a supermarket in Germany using fencing to separate people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 from people who have not been vaccinated. Germany – the jabbed and unjabbed are separated with a fence in a supermarket pic.twitter.com/Igcw060AtV — chap (@G_P_L_M) November 28, 2021 Verdict: Misleading The photo actually shows a store in Romania. Fact Check: The Nov. 28 tweet claims to show a photo of a supermarket in Germany in which people stand on both sides of a fence in the middle of what looks like an indoor shopping space. The caption reads , Germany – the jabbed and unjabbed are separated with a fence in a supermarket. Similar claims about the photo have also been shared on Facebook. In reality, the photo was not taken in Germany. Digital creator Adrian Prisecaru included it in a Nov. 22 Romanian-language Facebook post about visiting a Kaufland hypermarket in Romania. He also posted two more photos the next day showing such fences at the entrance of a Romanian Kaufland location.

Kaufland is headquartered in Germany but has stores in Romania and several other countries as well, according to its website . The Romanian news outlets Ziua De Vest and R3Media reported on fences being put up in Kaufman stores in Romania and a Romanian nonprofit, Pro Consumers Association , criticizing the move. Romania currently requires a Digital Green Certificate/Green Pass to enter many nonessential public venues, including restaurants, shopping malls, museums and gyms, according to the U.S. Embassy in Romania’s website . Such passes are not required for essential stores such as grocery stores and directly-accessible pharmacies, per the U.S. Embassy’s website. As of Monday, about 39 percent of Romania’s population has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data published by The New York Times . (en)
