stuff save their names we are sick and tired of this injustice in our system to all of us to stop. the outrages spreading as demonstrators confront the institutions that they say have worked against minorities for too long. a passenger who traveled on board a special flight from germany to china has tested positive for the coronavirus the chartered flight was carrying 180 passengers they received special commission permission to travel from the chinese authorities many are executives with german companies and the deal was brokered by the german chamber of commerce china has barred most non-citizens from entering the country to prevent the introduction of new infections. and someone who was on that flight was our correspondent mathias bellinger he joins me now from tangent where he's in quarantine materials hi tell

us more about the person who tested positive and what that means for you. it was 34 year old engineer from a small place in the south of germany of origin is how relate released quite a bit of data he entered the country without symptoms and with a body temperature of 36.3 degrees that is what we know so far he must have tested negative mainly in frankfurt because he was on the last flight and passengers were tested before the flight so now here we haven't heard anything but let's just have a look 1st at what the how this flight was organized and how the security measures were let's have a look. i am here in frankfurt airport usually one of europe's busiest airports it's eerie empty these days

a few people however are queuing up in front of a lounge in the basement. we still have 12 hours until the parsha but we've all been samone here for a test the virus test and of course if anybody turns out positive they cannot afford the flight. we are passengers on the 1st flight to china in months next to me in the queue is the enter family christian works for a major german company in beijing. this is quite a hassle but it makes me feel safe so i catch it on the flight. the virus test is just one of many security measures to prevent the infection from being imported back into china again this is not a scheduled flight but a charter flight organized by the german chambre of commerce and it's seen as a test for many countries who are eager to get their business executives back into the country temperatures screened at the gate and we get

a test result. not just happened upon arrival the family as everybody else will have to quarantine for 2 weeks in a hotel room companies are to obtain multiple commissions from the chinese authorities for the employees and all of us had to pick up a special visa had one of the consulates flight was even postponed a few days because not everybody was able to get the paperwork done in time finally we are on our way our temperature is checked several times throughout the night. upon arrival health authority offices board the flight to check the temperature again we have to fill in a questionnaire our data is registered with the health authority and we have to go for another round of testing. nose and mouth swaps for another virus test plus blood for an antibody test takes us directly from

the airfield to the hotel. after our luggage and sprayed with disinfectant we get assigned to our rooms which we will no longer be allowed to leave. so this is my home for the next 2 weeks we have to report our temperature twice a day food will be placed in front of our door lazed windows separating us from the country we were finally allowed back into. a terrace want to janni fascinating fascinating to say that schnauzer you'll finally back when he say things going from here in china well the question is at what pace can the country open up of course the economy is suffering from the lockdown as it is in many places we've seen all these measures we've been tested

price twice for the virus and once for them to antibiotics of temperature take it and still it seems if this is confirmed if this was not a false test which is also a possibility for the false test result which is also may be a possibility if this is called it shows that it will be very hard to get things back to normal. it is a virus that seems to be spreading easily and it will take a lot of time until it's under control in enough places to make traveling a safe option because fun and it is filling and he was on that flight from germany to china talking to us from quarantine in chanting thanks very much. after months of coronavirus restrictions germany has relaxed many rules on social interactions most restaurants have reopened people i'm meeting in public and then

there's camping as someone gets underway campus are returning to their beloved campsites to soak up some nights just like in the city i'll have to keep their distance. from. the world. for you to methe last for weeks the u.s. family have been waiting for this moment to be able to pitch their 10 times in nature once again. these are target today when the day we were allowed to camp here with our children yes it's just cool. happy campers after weeks of coronavirus restrictions all $250.00 spots have been taken at this camp site on the shores of lake constance it's a similar situation across the southern german stace of baton burton berg we're almost all 300 come sites have been booked i've. yes we're being overrun which is normal for a holiday weekend but it's even more than usual because of a special situation this year for stoked the biggest barrier to operating almost as

normal has been removed companies can use shared toilets and shower facilities meaning tents can be accommodated alongside become provide must some physical distancing measures are in place. if the guests in the toilet and shower blocks don't wear masks or ignore the physical distancing then the risk of a 2nd wave is very high and that would really be about it for everyone so we hope everyone sticks to the ruins of. the your spam really keep their masks within easy reach for when they get close to other visitors. for the rest of the time they enjoy their new found freedom. and here can be since everyone's careful i don't think we need to worry if everyone plays their part was that it will yes that's how it is and it's not just come prison join the fine weather run like constance perfect conditions to park quite surfing. the summer in the great

outdoors just getting started and about deserves a toast to some fun sunday so morning. well and now one other person who's outside enjoying the sunshine is my colleague aaron tilton hopefully not drinking yet so he's standing by at tempelhof field in the middle of berlin and it looks pretty lovely out there would you like to swap with me. and not on your life as you said in the middle of temple of a failed which is the one of berlin's most well rub some around sports hot spots you know since i've been here i've seen thousands and thousands of people out enjoying the sun the wind you can probably hear in the background and to be obscene honest there's not a lot of sign of social distancing going on you know i've seen people playing soccer playing contact sports playing cricket i've even seen latin dance group stands in science and but shot to cheek to cheek and you know it's hard to dance a latin music without a body contact and you know it's very very similar throughout the city last night i

was walking through berlin smitten district and even the bars are technically supposed to be closed dozens of them were open and it kind of felt like carnival there were hundreds of people out enjoying a drink dancing together spilling out in the street shoulder to shoulder not a mask in sight and very little sign of social distancing so if you actually ask berliners it seems like many of the corona prevention measures are actually a thing of the past well and on cheese day they're actually going to be lifting some of the restrictions i was going to ask you whether the country is ready but it sounds like many people are one step ahead well that does seem to be the case and if you ask the government at least it does seem that germany is ready to kind of get back to business as it were to life as normal i mean on paper were seen new infections each day dropping below 500 day for day and year for country 82000000 those aren't bad numbers and actually one of the key metrics that uncle americans always pointed to has been the doubling rate so the rate at which there are twice as many new infections compared to the previous period of time and she

said germany would be ready to open up if the doubling rate was around 14 days well the current numbers indicate that the rate is well over 30 days so at least on paper it seems like germany is ready to get back to life as normal. are until now for us at the tempelhof a f l thanks very much for the update thank you. and a reminder of the top story we're following for you this hour in the u.s. over a dozen cities have imposed nighttime curfew says protests over the death of george floyd the death of the 46 year old black man in custody earlier this week has triggered a wave of national outrage with demonstrations now in their 5th day. you're watching. i'll be back at the top of the hour with another update about until then you can stay up to date on our website at www dot com you can also follow us on
