Polish-German border opens again

The Polish-German border reopened on Saturday (June 13) at midnight, allowing people living in the border towns of Frankfurt (Oder) and Slubice to freely cross the bridge over the river Oder, which separates the two countries.

In March Poland closed its borders to foreigners to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

However, it has been progressively loosening restictions on public life, with shopping centres, hotels and restaurants all reopening in May.

Germany will lift border controls with Switzerland, France, Austria and Denmark on June 15, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said on Wednesday (June 10), adding the government would reconsider if the coronavirus situation deteriorates.
