In the northern border town of Schleswig-Holstein, according to Mayor Simone Lange (SPD), almost only corona infections are now found with the B.1.1.7 variant, which initially appeared in England, which is considered particularly contagious. .
Therefore, the Danish government has decided to intensify operations on the German-Danish border, announced the Ministry of Justice in Copenhagen. Specifically, the Danish police wanted to close a total of 13 border crossings on Saturday night. However, important transitions like Frøslev, Kruså and Padborg should remain open. The ministry said the controls there were “much more intensive.”
In Flensburg, the crown’s requirements have grown stricter since midnight. Night-out restrictions go into effect this Saturday between 9 pm and 5 am There are exceptions, for example, to go to work or to the doctor. Currently, private gatherings are prohibited.
Despite the lockdown, the number of infections in Flensburg has risen significantly since mid-January. The city on the Danish border is now one of Corona’s hot spots nationwide.
Virus variant B.1.1.7 was first detected on January 15 in Flensburg.
