For the big Merkel-Premier-Presidents meeting next week....the chatter is that a serious idea will be put on the table....cutting flight activity, railway travel beyond the border, and autobahn entry.
So the idea is this....if you are designated as a serious Covid-19 country...that'll end up with a flight ban (no entering or flying out of Germany).
Affecting neighbors? Right now, the discussion is heading that way. The countries so far mentioned: UK, Portugal, South Africa, and Brazil. The next group after that....probably coming a week or two later? Netherlands and Denmark.
The odds that this will extend further in the month of February? It's anyone's humble guess.
You'd have to deploy either more police or German Army personnel to the border regions if you wanted to shut down roads/entry points. My best guess is that truckers would continue to have entry/exit permission.
Air Freight isn't mentioned much...it seems to be more toward cutting passenger traffic.
This ending in the spring? No one has any idea where this starts, or where this ends....that's the amusing part of the discussion.
