Temporary entry restrictions for persons wishing to enter Germany and Denmark have been implemented. On March 12 Denmark closed its border to Germany and on March 16, Germany closed its border to Denmark. However, both countries agree that activities crucial to society must not be ground to a halt.

The entry restrictions are carried out in consideration of necessary chains of supply that must be upheld and in a way that does not – as far as it is possible – prevent companies from receiving goods from foreign countries or exporting goods to foreign countries.

With daily transportation of important goods like medicine and food between Scandinavia and continental Europe, Scandlines is part of this crucial infrastructure.

Scandlines still operates according the schedule on both routes.
