German Government Federal Tourism Commissioner Thomas Bareiss is confident that if coronavirus infections in Germany remain under control, their citizens will be able to leave the country on vacation soon. In statements to the Der Tagesspiegel newspaper collected by the BBC, the German head of tourism has assured that his government is in talks with other countries to address the summer holidays.

However, he has assured that he himself has not yet planned his vacations given the "high uncertainty" in the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic . However, it does foresee that if the outbreak continues to be controlled, the population will be able to leave for other border countries with a similar drop in the number of those infected.

"I hope that, if the data is positive, we can relax the restrictions in the next four to eight weeks," he said, referring in particular to countries bordering German territory "that can be reached by car." like Austria , France , Poland , Belgium or the Netherlands .

"It would not include other European regions such as the Balearic Islands or the Greek islands," said Bareiss. German tourism is "essential" in the Balearic economy, President Francina Armengol told Europa Press, so the islands are working so that flights can resume "as soon as possible."

Germany will decide in principle on Wednesday to reopen all the country's shops and schools in May, starting next week, according to a draft agreement between the government and the regions to which Afp has had access. However, there are no plans to reopen the borders for the holidays.
