Berlin / Munich - According to Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU), the federal government is planning an extended mandatory test for entry into Germany from August 1st.

“The federal government assured us today that it will do so by August 1st. try everything with a standardized test not only for air travel but also, for example, for everything that comes on a normal car route or train route, ”said Söder in the ARD“ Tagesthemen ”. He thinks that is now more understandable, clearer and safer. The originally planned date for an entry regulation from September 11th would have been "a joke", said Söder, "the vacation is over even in the countries with late vacation."

The countries had put pressure on because they needed a reliable basis for entry, said Söder in the evening.

In the afternoon he was told that a legal basis would be created so that implementation would work on August 1st.

"The rule is relatively simple, everyone needs a test that arrives back, so to speak, whether they come by car, train or plane."

Currently, the test only applies to people who travel to Germany by plane.

Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer (CSU) had told the "Bild" newspaper that those who have been proven to be vaccinated or recovered do not have to prove a negative test result.

Seehofer and Söder said that the checks in individual traffic should be carried out on a point-by-point basis.

No one wants stationary border controls and no one does, said Söder.
