Germany has announced that from this Sunday it will remove

Catalonia, the Canary Islands, Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha and Valencia

from its list of high-risk areas

, but that it will keep the rest of Spain in this classification.


The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) of virology has communicated these changes by publishing

the weekly update of the list

of areas at risk from the pandemic, a classification that is developed together with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health and Interior.


These five autonomous communities

become simply risk areas, the least serious of the three categories

, behind the high-risk area and the risk area for dangerous variant.


The change means that travelers over 12 years old from these autonomous communities will no longer have to quarantine for ten days when arriving in Germany.


However,

the presentation of a negative test or a vaccination certificate is still a mandatory requirement

.

It is difficult to estimate the effect that the decision may have on German tourism, which has two of its main destinations in Spain in the Canary Islands and Catalonia.


Furthermore, summer holidays have ended or are about to end in more than half of the 16 German Länder.
