Despite the increasing number of infections, many Germans spend their holidays abroad. One week before the old entry regulation expires, the federal government is extending the applicable rules – with a few changes.
The Corona rules for holiday returnees are extended until September 10th. This emerges from a cabinet resolution on the entry regulation that Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) presented in Berlin on Wednesday. The current rules for entering Germany under pandemic conditions would only have been valid until July 28th.
The change to the quarantine rules that has now been adopted provides that people who have been completely vaccinated and who come from so-called virus variant areas can end their quarantine prematurely if they can prove that their vaccination protection against the virus variant is effective in the area visited. So far, there has also been a strict quarantine requirement for people who have been completely vaccinated and who come from virus variant areas.
Spahn on the entry regulation: “Have learned that we have to be careful”
In addition, the cabinet decided on an innovation that should take effect if a virus variant area is downgraded to a high-incidence area while returnees are still in quarantine. Then the rules for high-incidence areas should apply in the future for the end of the quarantine – and consequently a shortening of the 14-day quarantine obligation should be possible.
The new rules come into force when the old regulation expires on July 28th. The situation makes it necessary to extend the existing regulations, said Spahn. “We learned from last summer that we have to be careful, also in and when traveling.”
