The barriers between Austria and Bavaria have already been shut down.
Tyrol is cordoned off because of the Corona situation there.
Mittenwald / Leutasch
- Now the Austrians are sealing off the border - at least the small crossings towards Leutasch and Plansee.
This will plug the last loopholes that have recently been used regularly by locals.
Corona: State road to Tyrol closed
The state road between Mittenwald and Leutasch has been closed since Wednesday evening.
In this context, Klaus Kiechl from the responsible Innsbruck District Authority refers to the lack of human resources in the Federal Police.
A transfer to Tyrol - if there are sufficient reasons - is only possible in the Upper Isar Valley via the Scharnitz border point.
All of this is of course due to the corona situation.
As confirmed by Colonel Manfred Dummer, the spokesman for the Tyrolean Police Directorate.
His colleagues receive further support from forces in other Austrian federal states and from the armed forces.
"We are increasing massively," explains Dummer.
"The operational planning is in full swing, there is a lot going on."
Corona: Numerous veil investigators on the German side in action
State power is also showing its presence on the German side.
"Our veil investigators are everywhere," says Thomas Haberger, head of the Murnau border police inspection.
"Our aim is not to harass people, but to avoid corona chains of infection." How serious the situation is is shown by the presence of 25 officers from the Munich riot police who yesterday supported the veil investigators in the rear area of the state border.
The Murnau police officers keep fishing black sheep out of traffic - for example on Tuesday when a mobile home was stopped at the Griesen border crossing.
In it sat five Berliners, a couple from Munich and an Austrian.
This was the only one who had a valid reason for entry.
He had to go to the dentist in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The rest had a week of skiing holidays in Switzerland behind them.
The extent to which they have violated the Entry Quarantine Regulation is now being determined.
The health authorities responsible for the respective place of residence have since been informed by the Murnau Border Police Inspection.
The border between Bavaria and the Czech Republic is also becoming more impermeable.
More controls are to be carried out here as well.
