Germany's new rules on its borders mean only German nationals or residents of Germany are allowed through. Essential workers in sectors such as health and transport can also enter, as well as those crossing for urgent humanitarian reasons, according to the German interior ministry. Everyone must be able to provide a recent negative coronavirus test. (Photo by JENS SCHLUETER / AFP) (Photo by JENS SCHLUETER/AFP via Getty Images)
