　　China News Agency, Berlin, September 9th (Reporter Peng Dawei) The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on its official website on the 9th that it will target other countries in the world except most EU member states, Schengen countries (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and the United Kingdom. The travel warnings in Japan and the region have been extended to September 30.

From October 1, the German government will resume issuing separate travel and safety reminders for different countries and regions around the world.

　　So far, the global new crown epidemic is still developing.

The epidemic in Germany has also rebounded since the end of July.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, as of 4 pm Central European Time on the 9th, the cumulative number of people diagnosed with the new crown virus worldwide has reached 27617194 and 898,456 deaths.

According to a report from Germany's "Times Online", as of 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Germany had a total of 254,595 confirmed diagnoses, 222,899 cured, and 9,502 deaths. In the past week (September 2-8), 8,954 newly diagnosed cases were newly diagnosed.

　　On August 26, the German Federal Government extended the validity period of travel warnings for the European Union, Schengen countries and other countries in the world outside the United Kingdom from August 31 to September 14.

This decision on the 9th of this month once again extended the validity period of the travel warning.

　　In the travel warning that day, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again called on the public to avoid going to the aforementioned non-European countries for non-emergency reasons or for tourism purposes.

The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs also reminded that the lifting of the travel warning from October 1 does not mean that people can travel to the above-mentioned countries without restrictions, because individual countries may continue to implement entry restrictions or impose compulsory isolation on incoming passengers.

　　The German Ministry of Foreign Affairs urges the public to be particularly vigilant when traveling and to obtain travel and safety reminders in the destination country in advance.

At the same time, he emphasized that, as always, the right to decide whether to travel and how to travel belongs to the traveler himself.
