Coronavirus: German region eases Baltic coast travel ban

A regional court in eastern Germany has ruled that locals can go to the popular Baltic coast this Easter weekend, despite the coronavirus lockdown.

The Greifswald higher court said the regional government’s travel ban was “disproportionate” in curbing people’s local freedom. Germans from other regions remain banned from the coast.

The Mecklenburg-West Pomerania government has accepted the decision.

Temperatures on Germany’s Baltic coast are set to climb above 20C on Sunday and forecasters say it will be a sunny Easter weekend.
