Travelling abroad

Those businesses that are still working right now and that depend on import from or export to other countries are struggling due to the many travelling restrictions. Fortunately a number of ‘green lanes’ or ‘green access roads’ have been set up for the transport sector, allowing freight vehicles to cross borders relatively smoothly and limiting health screenings to a maximum of 15 minutes.
