From the AA’s perspective, the federal government cannot relax the travel warning because of this compulsory treatment. The drug is not approved for the treatment of Covid 19 patients in Germany, and the effects of the treatment and the risks for the patients are unclear.
US authorities had temporarily granted special approval for Covid 19 sufferers to the malaria drug that President Donald Trump claims to have taken preventively.
Another AA argument to leave travel warnings behind is that the Robert Koch Institute classifies Turkey as a risk area. The reason for the classification is the still high number of infections, since on average more than 50 people per 100,000 inhabitants in Turkey tested positive for Sars-CoV-2.
