Munich (dpa) - At the borders with the Czech Republic and the Austrian state of Tyrol, stricter entry rules came into force at midnight.
For fear of the more contagious variants of the corona virus that are widespread there, strict controls are carried out at the corresponding border crossings in Bavaria and Saxony.
According to a regulation by the Federal Ministry of the Interior, only Germans and foreigners with a residence and residence permit in Germany are allowed to enter the affected areas.
There are exceptions for doctors, nurses and geriatric nurses as well as for truck drivers and seasonal agricultural workers.
Anyone who wants to go to the funeral of a parent, spouse or child is also allowed to enter, as can fathers for the birth of their child.
The following applies to all travelers: You have to show a negative corona test and first go into quarantine in Germany.
