The Robert Koch Institute announced this yesterday. This is good news for the Austrian ski areas. Because Germans are required to register online when they return home from risk areas, and unvaccinated people must be in quarantine, and a free test is only allowed after five days at the earliest.
In view of the importance of German holidaymakers for domestic tourism, Tourism Minister Elisabeth Köstinger (VP) welcomed the decision: “With around 37 percent of all overnight stays in the winter season, Germany is one of the largest and most important market of origin. That we again classified as a high-risk area due to the high number of infections in November was therefore particularly bitter. ” Now Austria’s “successful security measures” and “tried and tested prevention concepts” have convinced the German neighbors.
Germany itself has tightened its entry rules a little. As of yesterday, all immigrants aged six and over must have proof that they have been vaccinated or recovered and that they have also been PCR-tested. Previously, this only applied to people aged twelve and over.
