That was Bavaria as a “lesson” from the “unpleasant situation” that followed the closure of the border last March as a “compromise,” Herrmann said. People in border areas should be able to live “as normally as possible” even in the pandemic, Edtstadler stressed. The task now is to build confidence in the Austrian, German and Bavarian pandemic control measures. The “small border traffic” must be possible. It is possible to fight the pandemic and, at the same time, make possible the economy, border traffic and tourism.
In Germany, a new quarantine entry regulation is expected in the next ten days, allowing people to cross the border within 24 hours of their return to make purchases, for example. “In anticipation” of this expected regulation, Bavaria will already handle border traffic “pragmatically,” Herrmann promised.
Possibility of regular border crossing
Regular border crossings should remain possible for travelers, school children and students. The prerequisite is the weekly submission of a negative Corona test result. Austrian citizens could also get tested for free in Bavaria, Herrmann said. The test certificates must be sent to the district offices in Bavaria. This practice, which began in the Cham district on the border with the Czech Republic, has had positive experiences.
“There are no restrictions” for German citizens entering Austria, Edtstadler stressed. He called for the coordination of border crossings in the EU to avoid problems such as the closing of borders in March. You yourself have experienced how “difficult” these consequences of the first shutdown would have been for citizens.
