Ahlbeck / Linken (dpa / mv) - Hundreds of drivers were checked again on the second day during the Corona entry controls in Western Pomerania on the border with Poland.
As a police spokesman said in Anklam on Friday, significantly fewer drivers had to be made to turn back on Thursday.
Entrants and shopping tourists returning from a trip to Poland have to be in a ten-day quarantine in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
A total of around 900 drivers were stopped and made aware of the quarantine rules, 50 of whom then refrained from entering the country.
470 vehicles wanted to go shopping in Poland, among other things, of which 19 drivers preferred to turn back at the border.
The day before, the police checked 960 vehicles, almost 100 of which turned back.
On Thursday, the personal details of 18 incoming inmates were recorded and reported to the health authorities.
On the first day of the controls, on Wednesday, this number was 43 women and men whose data had been reported to the health authorities upon arrival.

The background to the controls is that the number of corona infections in Poland is said to be even higher than in northeast Germany.
As a border district with an incidence of around 100 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants per week, Vorpommern-Greifswald has long been one of the MV districts with high incidence rates.
Polish commuters who work on one side and live on the other are exempt from the quarantine.
