Over the past couple of days....the border with Tyrol and Czech has been tightened up to an extreme. If you were a trucker approaching the border, you get in line and anticipate a minimum of three hours of waiting before crossing the border. All due to Covid-19 worries in these two regions.
The fact that the border of Austria lies between Tyrol and Czech, and it's not that controlled? It's best not to bring up that subject.
Several logistical experts have come out over the weekend and talked about the slowdown. Various agricultural companies use the traffic situation through Germany to deliver beyond the German border (Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway).
No one is saying it's at some threat status yet, but the worry is that any day now....you might see ban rules expand again in Germany and suddenly a three-hour delay goes to a 12-hour or 24-hour delay. That starts to have a ripple effect across not only the German economy, but going across the EU itself.
So this is very much....a wait and see situation at the border.
