Germany plans quarantine for air arrivals from outside EU-Funke media
Germany plans to insist that airline passengers arriving from non-EU countries go into quarantine for 14 days to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus, the Funke media group reported Wednesday. A decision could be taken by chancellor Angela Merkel's "crisis cabinet" as soon as Thursday and would affect the country's main airports such as Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin, the media group reported. Until now, people arriving from countries badly hit by the virus, including Iran, South Korea, Egypt, Italy, France and the US, have merely had to fill in a form, a situation that has triggered criticism. However, govt ministers now think that differentiating between countries makes little sense given the extent of the infection, Funke media reported, without citing sources. <br/>
