German-Czech Covid border checks spark complaints
By EUobserver
Queues of trucks stretched 20km on the Czech side of the border on Monday as Germany cited the risk of Covid-19 variants for implementing tougher border checks. Under the new rules, only a handful of people are permitted to cross the border, including lorry drivers. Carmakers warned that the restrictions could bring factories to a standstill, as Czech factories are a key part of the supply chain.
