1:39 p.m .: The federal government removes Spain, Great Britain and the USA from the risk list
The federal government is removing almost 20 countries from the list of corona high-risk areas this Sunday, including Spain, the USA and Great Britain. This was announced by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). Tunisia, Morocco and India, among others, will also be removed from the list. It is easier for travelers coming from countries that are no longer classified as high-risk areas to return to Germany. This time, no country is newly classified as a high-risk area.
The countries removed from the high-risk list in detail: Spain, the French Overseas departments of French Guiana, Mayotte, St. Pierre, Miquelon; Ireland, Andorra, Great Britain, Afghanistan, Algeria, Fiji, India, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Laos, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, United Arab Emirates, USA.
Anyone entering the country from a high-risk area and not fully vaccinated – i.e. usually twice – or recovered, must be in quarantine for ten days and can free themselves from it at the earliest five days after entry with a negative test. For children who have not yet reached the age of six, the isolation ends automatically five days after entry.
Countries and regions with a particularly high risk of infection are classified as high-risk areas. However, it is not only the number of infections that is decisive for this. Other criteria are the speed at which the virus is spreading, the burden on the healthcare system and the lack of data on the corona situation.
