Secondly, wear a N95/K95 mask on the plane. Yes, medical masks are sufficient for flying, but they do not meet current German guidelines and you will have to purchase a qualifying FFP2 model soon after arrival in order to enter businesses. Since N95/K95 masks are considered equivalent to FFP2, you will be fully compliant upon landing if you are wearing one.

The punctuality of German trains has taken a nosedive this year, with just 62.7 percent of long-distance trains arriving within five minutes of the scheduled time.Just under 80 percent of ICE, EC and IC trains are delayed by less than 15 minutes - which means a whopping one in five trains leaves passengers waiting for more than a quarter of an hour. 

Speaking out about the issues with the rail network, Lutz said delays were increasing and that there was currently a record number of construction sites on stretches of the track. Many switches and signal boxes are outdated and prone to breakdowns, he said. Three criteria for renovation

In the future, rail bosses want to take three new criteria into account in the planned general renovation.First, regional construction work will be bundled together in order to keep sections of track free of construction sites for several years.

Secondly, equipment upgrades and other modernisations will be carried out at the same time as standard repairs in order to ensure that busy stretches of track have a "first-class standard of equipment". 

Thirdly, more emphasis will be placed on "customer-friendly" construction in the future. But they also cover individuals, even if you are just importing small amounts for your own personal use and even if - like the drivers in the video - you intend to consume the import imminently. 

The regulations also cover animal products sent by post - either ordered online or sent by individuals. Parcels containing prohibited items will be intercepted and destroyed at the border.What can you bring in?

The restrictions on food cover anything that has meat or dairy in it.So this covers products like ham, sausages and cheese, but also products that simply contain one of the above as part of their ingredients - which includes things like milk chocolate, fudge or fresh custard.
