Several EU countries are moving to reinstate border checks and travel restrictions over a troubling surge in coronavirus variants.
Germany announced on Sunday that travellers from France s northeastern Moselle region will face additional restrictions because of the high rate of South African variant cases there.
The developments at the French-German border are only the latest in a long series of Schengen exceptions in several countries including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Hungary and Sweden.
The situation recalls the much-criticised first wave of the pandemic, when EU countries hastily closed their borders to each other in March 2020 without coordination.
So, will variants deal the final blow to the passport-free Schengen Area, a pillar of European integration?

The European Commission said Tuesday it has formally warned six EU countries that their virus-related border curbs could undermine free movement within the bloc.
Letters sent on Monday to Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary and Sweden, highlight a risk of “fragmentation and disruptions to free movement and to supply chains,” commission spokesman Christian Wigand told journalists.
The EU executive is worried the measures go beyond recommendations adopted four months ago seeking a “proportional” balance between slowing the spread of the coronavirus and maintaining movement.
It has given the countries until late next week to respond, failing which it could, theoretically, start proceedings for breach of EU laws.
