The fear of the corona mutants is great across Europe: Now a German neighbor is closing its borders in the coronavirus pandemic.
Is Germany following the example?
Coronavirus pandemic
:
Germany's
first neighbor
closes
its
borders
because of infectious
corona mutants
.
Vacation and leisure trips
from or to
Belgium
are
no longer allowed
until March 1st due to
Covid-19
.
The
borders
remain
open
for the
movement of goods
, and
business trips
are still possible.
Munich / Brussels - An example that
will soon
catch on
in the
coronavirus pandemic
?
Belgium
is
closing
its
borders
because of the spread of the
corona mutants in Europe
- with immediate effect.
Means:
Vacation and leisure trips
are
no longer allowed
until (for the time being) March 1st from and to
Belgium
.
The ban therefore applies to
road, air, ship and rail traffic.
Coronavirus mutants: Belgium closes its border with Germany
As far as the road and railways are concerned, this also
affects
a total of
204 kilometers of borders with Germany
in the
Aachen and Euskirchen area
(both North Rhine-Westphalia
and
North Rhine-Westphalia) and
Bitburg-Prüm
(Rhineland-Palatinate).
Belgium
reacts to the
Corona mutants
and closes its
borders until March 1st.
The ban applies to
road, air, ship and rail traffic.
The
movement of goods
as well as
business
trips and trips for study reasons are excluded.
Even the
visit of spouses and partners
, as well as funerals of relatives remains possible.
There are two exceptions:
Business trips
should remain allowed, and the
movement of goods
is
not affected
by the new
Corona
rule
.
In addition, visits to spouses or life partners as well as trips for study reasons and for relatives' funerals should be possible.
