correspondent he filmed his entire journey starting from the check in in frankfurt . i am here in frankfurt airport usually one of europe's busiest airports it's eerily 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 partial but we've all been samone here for a test the virus has and of course if anybody turns out positive they can not board 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. it's good to have it on paper on 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 their 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

7:10 pm
we asked him about how china is dealing with the situation. well the question is at what pace can the country open up of course the economy is suffering from the lock down that is in many places we've seen all these measures we've been tested price twice for the virus and once and for antibiotics are temperature has been taken and still it seems if this is confirmed if this was not of course test which is also a possibility for post test result which is also may be a possibility if this is confirmed it shows that it would 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 in a control in enough places to make traveling a safe option. our correspondent has been another who is in china

after being on a flight with an infected person feel after months of coronavirus restrictions germany has relaxed many rules on social interactions most restaurants have reopened people are meeting in public and then campaign some of gets underway campers are returning to their beloved campsites to soak up some but demands for camping spots exceed supply in many areas through casting and had more mileage out of luck this year they didn't get a spot for their camper uses. the souffle can take in the fact that it's fully booked this year means that when you leave you're afraid you won't find a spot when you get back at night. spontaneous getaways suddenly out of the question now many campgrounds require reservations people are flocking to camp sites all over germany. the sort of us who are definitely noticeable that more people prefer to stay in germany and set up occasioning abroad they are looking for something close by is only so you more. and camping makes it easier to practice

7:14 pm
a very cautious. well it seems like around the country that it's pretty much a mixed bag you know typically this long weekend is considered to be one of the peak travel periods in germany and we're not seeing nearly as many people take to the roads most of the highways are free same thing in the german train system and it's also being felt here in the german capital i mean hotels are even choosing to keep their doors closed because they don't have as many customers as they need. to economically keep their businesses up and running so it seems that germany as a whole is taking a more cautious approach. or 2 from temple of their fields in berlin thank you i'm enjoying the sun. thank you i will. 2 nasa astronauts from the space x. dragon capsule half board the international space station shortly after its docked dark curly and bob behnken aboard the 1st privately built an own spacecraft
