Germany Closes Its Borders
[BBC] According to German media, the borders will grudgingly close at 08:00 (07:00 GMT) on Monday.
However, goods will continue to flow between the countries and commuters may still cross the borders.
The aim is to contain coronavirus but also reportedly to curb panic-buying by foreigners which has led to some supply problems in the border regions.
Germany has seen at least nine deaths with coronavirus and 4,585 cases of infection.
