The federal government has again classified the Canary Islands, which are very popular with German holidaymakers, as a corona risk area.
The Robert Koch Institute announced on its website on Friday that all of Spain would be on the risk list again from Sunday - which also resulted in a travel warning from the Foreign Office.
The Canaries are one of the very few holiday destinations in other European countries for which no travel warning had previously applied.
On October 24th, it was canceled due to falling infection numbers.
For eight weeks, the Canary Islands were considered "risk-free".
For some time now, however, the numbers there have been rising again - especially on Tenerife.
There, the new infections per 100,000 inhabitants were last at 127 within a week. This increased this value for all seven Canary Islands together - which are otherwise below the limit value of 50, except for La Gomera - to an average of a good 70. From a value of 50, the classification takes place as a risk area and thus also the travel warning.

The travel warning does not mean a travel ban, but is intended to have the greatest possible deterrent effect on tourists.
The good thing for vacationers: You can cancel trips that have already been booked if their destination is declared a risk area.
However, returnees from the risk areas must be in quarantine for up to ten days, but can be exempted from this prematurely with a negative test from the fifth day after entry.
