Why do you think there is a magical virus barrier at the border?
It does not matter if you travel to the next city or to the country nearby. Yes, there are clusters but at least in Europe we do not have vast empty areas between populated places. It is pretty much a continuum.
- user_501238901 6y agoTravel creates new unidentified clusters, the tourists also tend to leave the area rather quickly => very hard to find and trace who originally caused the cluster, and who were in contact. Tourists also tend to have much different riskier behaviour compared to the average native inhabitant of a city (eg nightclub hopping many days in a row)
- nicoburns 6y agoIf you're travelling a short distance over a mostly open land border then sure. If you're flying somewhere then it's a different story.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThere isn't a magical virus barrier at the border. But there's a jurisdictional barrier there. Contact tracing across the border is much more painful than doing it locally. Our civilization-level immune system is bureaucratic in nature, so you can say that national border is a barrier for its antibodies.
