CZECH REPUBLIC
Negative Covid Test – Germany
In response to the German measures, the Czech Republic is demanding a negative COVID-19 test from truck drivers transiting through the Czech Republic to Germany. The negative Covid-19 test must not be older than 36 hours. Both PCR tests and rapid antigen tests are accepted, provided they are performed by an approved laboratory. The Czech Republic will introduce random border checks to verify compliance with this measure. The negative test can also be requested at roadside checks in the interior.

AUSTRIA
Negative Covid Test – Germany
In response to the German measures, Austria is introducing border controls to check the negative covid tests. The checks for freight traffic would take place at the Brenner Pass. This will probably be confirmed sometime in the course of today. Although this has not yet been officially confirmed, it is believed that access for freight and transit in Austria will only be allowed if it can be guaranteed that the driver will also be allowed back into Germany. With the Brenner pass it will be checked whether drivers have negative test results, otherwise access will be refused. Test possibilities along the Austrian motorway network are not possible due to the capacity reasons of the test stations but also because of parking areas.

SLOVAKIA
Negative Covid Test – Germany
It is not yet clear how Slovakia will respond to the German measures.

UNITED KINGDOM
New test locations
Three new locations are opened for Covid-19 testing for carriers and truck drivers traveling to the EU via Kent.
The locations will open later this week and are located at the following petrol stations:

• Birchanger: Old Dunmow Road, Bishops Stortford, CM23 5QZ
• Baldock: A1 (M), 10, Radwell, Baldock SG7 5TR
