Germany's health minister, JENS SPAHN has expressed concern about the potential spread of the coronavirus as more people travel in Europe during the summer holiday season.

SPAHN said there were important decisions to be made about which countries’ citizens should be allowed into Europe.

He highlighted the situation in the United States, where there are now more than 60,000 new cases of the virus every day.

The Minister also warned of a potential second wave of the virus - saying early regular testing would indicate if the wave was coming.
