Lettlands president Egils Levits hyllar de baltiska folkens disciplin
Estland Lettland och Litauen har bekämpat viruset och öppnat upp gränserna mot varandra. Lettlands president Egils Levits passar nu på att hylla de baltiska folkens samarbete och disciplin. Framgången har även berott på de baltiska regeringarnas beslutsamhet i att bekämpa smittan.
Jag tror att alla flashbackare är imponerade av baltländernas strategi och vi kan bara gratulera Estland Lettland och Lituaen till ett fantastiskt bra jobb!
De virusfria ländernas medborgare förtjänar en riktig skön semester i sommar efter alla uppofringar. Nu vill fler länder följa baltländerna genom att skapa gröna zoner.
Vad händer med Corona-Sverige då? Vi får kämpa vidare med vår flockimmunitet strategi hela sommaren.

During the spread of the coronavirus, the Baltic states have been united by the discipline of the people, along with their governments' skill in leading in the crisis, which has allowed the creation of a mini-Schengen area, sometimes dubbed the 'Baltic bubble', Latvian President Egils Levits told ERR.
Levits said that Estonians and Latvians have really shown throughout the crisis how they take care of their respective countries, with Lithuanians included in that estimate as well.
"The result is that Estonia and Latvia have fewer infected people than in the rest of Europe. This is thanks to the discipline of the people and the reasonable politics by the governments. I am referring Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. This gave us a chance to open the borders after two months of isolation, as the first countries in Europe to do so, and to create a mini-Schengen area," the Latvian president said.

Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia have formed Europe's first travel bubble, allowing their citizens unrestricted passage between the three Baltic states - giving their economies a much-needed rev-up.
Some are travelling to get cheaper groceries, with others even crossing border to get a new pet.
Estonia are already gauging their willingness to expand their bubble to welcome more countries from further afield.
Spain is another country beginning to consider easing restrictions, with proposed "green zones" allowing travel to areas with low infection rates.
Countries' green zones would theoretically be allowed to travel to and from others like them.
"What we are suggesting is that internationally countries should cooperate to allow travel to regions which are safe," says Spanish National Research Centre's Bary Pradelski.
"For example a Spanish island like Majorca, where the virus is under control, could connect with say Berlin, where the virus is also under control."
