Linken / Ahlbeck (dpa / mv) - At the border controls to Poland because of the Corona quarantine regulation, the police again examined significantly more vehicles.

A few days before Christmas, outbound traffic in particular increased sharply compared to Sunday, as a police spokesman said on Tuesday.

However, every twelfth motorist would still prefer to turn back when he heard about the ten-day quarantine obligation in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

For example, women and men in 522 cars between Ahlbeck and Linken (Vorpommern-Greifswald) were advised of the obligation to quarantine due to the corona situation when leaving.

28 vehicles remained on the German side and did not make purchases in Poland.

With the controls, the police also want to control and prevent the importation of prohibited New Year's Eve crabs.

Upon entry, 242 vehicles were checked, 24 vehicles remained on the Polish side.

The only exempted from quarantine are those passing through Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania or commuters who live on one side and work on the other - including Polish doctors and nurses.

Due to a lack of permits, this time the police took the data of seven women and men upon entry and reported them to health authorities, which will decide on the quarantine.

Since the start of the controls, the data of more than 200 people entering the country have been reported to health authorities because of potential quarantine requirements.
