Coronavirus: We will have summer tourist season, promises EU – BBC News
A gradual lifting of borders has been proposed by the EU’s executive in an attempt to kick-start a tourist industry hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Our message is we will have a tourist season this summer,” said economic affairs commissioner Paolo Gentiloni, “even if it’s with security measures and limitations.”
Borders closed across the EU, including the border-free Schengen zone.
But states are starting to reopen them.
Austria and Germany have become the latest EU countries to agree to remove travel restrictions.
From Friday there will be random checks at border crossings and then on 15 June free movement should resume. “We want to make people’s everyday lives easier and take another step towards more normality,” said Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
UK travellers have already been warned not to expect “lavish” international holidays, with plans for a 14-day quarantine on air arrivals. But travel without quarantine will be possible to France.

The funeral procession for Iran’s former Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has begun its journey through Tehran.
Thousands of people have gathered in the Iranian capital, with crowds seen waving flags and holding up pictures of the late ayatollah.
Khamenei, who ruled Iran for more than 35 years, was killed in US-Israeli air strikes in February – his funeral began on Friday, and events are planned over the coming week.
A fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran is currently holding while talks on a permanent peace deal continue – Axios quoted US President Donald Trump as saying that talks had been paused for events surrounding the funeral.

The US military has conducted strikes on Iranian targets after President Donald Trump accused Iran of a “foolish violation” of its truce following an attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command said it had struck missile and drone storage facilities and coastal radar positions on Friday, in response to a drone attack on a cargo ship on Thursday which halted a planned evacuation of sailors stuck in the region.
Tehran said the cargo ship was attacked because it was using an unauthorised route to transit through the Gulf waterway.
After the US strikes, Iran in turn accused the US of violating their interim deal and said it had struck targets linked to American forces.
