It demands that the German government declare Tyrol and the Czech Republic “areas of mutation”. In this case, border controls would be established for both countries, Söder said on Thursday in Munich. Only those who can present a negative corona test can enter. All others would be rejected.
Söder said he supported the Austrian government’s approach to Tyrol because of the particularly high number of crown mutations there. Söder added that it was “not entirely clear to him” whether this was being taken so seriously in Tyrol. Therefore, Bavaria shared concerns about developments in Tyrol, Söder said, warning: “We don’t want to experience a second Ischgl again.”
Until now, Great Britain, Portugal, Ireland, Brazil, and South Africa have been classified as mutation areas in Germany because variants of the mutated coronavirus are widespread in these countries.
“They are very insecure about Austria”
“We are very insecure with Austria,” Söder said Wednesday night on ZDF. “In Tirol, hey, nobody cares,” he commented on the quarantine measures decided by Turquesa-Verde for the state. “I am concerned that there is a risk of a second Ischgl,” said Söder, who recently brought the border to Austria to close it.
Söder pointed out that there would hardly be travel opportunities if the areas were defined as areas of mutation. Like many other countries in the world, Austria is currently a corona risk area for the German authorities. Much more stringent protective measures apply to a handful of states that are defined as “virus mutation areas.” These are, for example, Great Britain, Ireland, Portugal, Brazil or South Africa.
Söder also did not rule out closing the border with the Czech Republic. “If the Czech Republic cannot extend its emergency measures, then it must be clear that the Czech Republic is an area of mutation and then the closure of the border must be a problem,” he said Wednesday night in the ZDF “heute -journal “.
