No fake: Germany is closing down! In response to the corona pandemic, the borders to Austria, France and Switzerland are to be closed from Monday, March 16, 2020.

However, there should be exceptions for commuters and the movement of goods. Several media outlets are currently reporting this in agreement.

The German federal government appears to have coordinated the move with the Prime Ministers of Bavaria (Markus Söder), Baden-Württemberg (Winfried Kretschmann) and Saarland (Tobias Hans) as well as the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate Malu Dreyer. Details will be clarified during a telephone call this evening (March 15, 2020). The “Bild” newspaper first reported about it.

It is apparently still unclear when the border closure will come into force. This could possibly be the case as early as 8 a.m. on Monday.

Update March 15, 6:15 p.m

The border with Denmark will also be closed from Monday at 6 a.m., Merkur reports . Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) promised this to the Prime Minister of Schleswig Holstein Daniel Günther (CDU) in a telephone conversation.
