Germany: Cancel Soccer but Keep the Borders Open

Just days after Italy's government put the entire country under quarantine, German chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that up to 70% of Germans could contract the Corona virus.

If they are canceling soccer matches or keeping the fans out, I figure it's just a matter of time before they close the borders to all those people coming from places like the Middle East, Africa, Afghanistan etc.

Oh wait! What's this?

"Health Minister Jens Spahn, who is leading the country’s response, has said that sealing its borders would not work and has rejected calls to follow neighbor Austria in denying entry to visitors from Italy."

The entire European continent is consumed with the Corona virus issue, and countries are going to extreme lengths to try and contain it, most notably Italy. It seems logical to me-just for this reason alone- that closing the borders to some million or so migrants would be logical.

No?
