USA and Spain - German government classifies 25 countries as "high-risk areas"

display

Because of the particularly high number of corona infections, the federal government has been classifying

25 countries

as high-risk areas for the

first time since Sunday

, for which even stricter entry rules apply than for the previous and still existing "risk areas".

As the Robert Koch Institute announced on its website on Friday, this includes the Czech Republic, the holiday countries Portugal, Spain and Egypt, Israel, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon and the USA.

Entry from these "high incidence areas" is only possible with a negative corona test.

The test may have been carried out at least 48 hours before entry.

In addition, as with the countries classified as "risk areas", those entering the country have to go into a ten-day quarantine.

The Greek region of Attica around the capital Athens, on the other hand, is one of the very few European regions no longer considered a risk area - if you travel from there to Germany, no quarantine is necessary.
