The fallout over Germany’s stricter border controls with Austria and the Czech Republic has continued after lorry drivers were forced to queue in sub-zero temperatures yesterday for covid tests.
According to reports in the Czech Republic, some drivers had to wait 3 hours for their tests. As we reported yesterday, some queues at the Czech Border stretched as long as 20km.
Moreover, on the E50/D5, which leads to the German city of Nuremberg, a queue of HGVs initially also spanned over 20km, according to the motorway administration office and radio traffic news.
