Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - The federal police at the largest German airport in Frankfurt will intensify controls on flights from 32 high-risk areas of the corona pandemic from Sunday.
The necessary entry requirements are also consistently checked, the Federal Police Directorate announced on Saturday evening in Frankfurt.
Above all, the entry registrations and proof of a current, negative corona test should be checked.
According to information from “Spiegel”, the federal police are also mobilizing significantly more officers at Munich Airport in order to be able to check all landing passengers.
According to the Federal Police in Frankfurt, the checks take place before the actual border control - and directly on the aircraft.
On Sunday, 17 flights from five countries are expected to be affected.
All measures are therefore carried out in close coordination with the health authorities, the Hesse state police, the airport operator and the airlines concerned.
So-called high incidence areas are countries with significantly higher numbers of infections than in Germany.
The limit value is usually an incidence of 200. Many countries are already included in this category.
On Sunday, Estonia, Israel, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates will join them.
