During travel restrictions people applied aslyum at airport. In this group peopl telling not possible to travel without travel exemption.

The people must have met the travel restrictions to be able to claim asylum at the airport. The numbers are much lower after March when borders started closing or there were travel restrictions.

If you look at the table almost all the claims were done before April before travel restrictions.
