<strong> Traveling during corona is a very Kafkaesque affair: S. is driving to Germany with her dad today</strong>, there are supposedly no restrictions for her to enter since France is a 'green' list country. But<strong> to come back, she has to have a PCR test</strong> because she won't have been double vaccinated yet for 14 days (she only got the second dose a week ago). <strong> But the PCR test has to have been done within at least 72 hours before entering the country, and it can take up to 48 hours to get results</strong>: so instead of risking getting it done in Germany and then not getting the results back in time,<strong> she went to get tested here in France</strong> yesterday (actually did get the results already this morning, super quick), <strong> so now she's got a test done in France which allows her to reenter France</strong>, even though the whole point is her being a risk since she's coming from Germany.<strong> It will be interesting to hear how things go at the border</strong> and what is being controlled and if there are differences between the countries.
