Among them is an Arab country ... Germany tightens entry for those coming from 20 countries due to "Corona"
Since midnight on Saturday-Sunday, Germany began applying strict entry rules for arrivals from more than 20 countries that have been classified as high-risk infection areas with the Coronavirus, due to the large increase in the number of cases of "Covid-19" disease in these countries.
Neighboring Czechs, Portugal, Spain and Egypt, in addition to the United States, are among those countries from which those coming from must present a negative certificate for a Corona test before entering Germany (a BCR test, a laboratory test, or a rapid test of similar quality).
According to the data issued by the Ministry of the Interior, the tests will be systematically examined at airports and ports. As for the borders with other countries in the European Union where there are no border controls, the crossers will be examined randomly, regardless of the existence of reasons for suspicion.
Before the implementation of these new rules, the German government used to set only two classifications for dangerous Corona foci, the first related to areas in which the contagious Corona strains were located in particular, and the second related to “normal” risk points. With the application of the new rules, there were three classifications requiring three rules. For test and stone, namely:
The "normal" risk areas are countries or regions in which the rate of new infections per 100,000 people in seven days exceeds the limit of 50 cases, and this applies at the present time to almost all of Europe except for some areas in Greece, Finland, Norway, Austria and Denmark.
The second classification is related to regions with a high infection rate and includes countries where the number of injuries is significantly higher compared to Germany, including countries where the rate is more than 200 (in Germany it is 115). Other countries can be placed under this classification according to certain conditions.
The third classification relates to regions of the Coronavirus strains, which are the areas in which highly contagious strains of Coronavirus have appeared, and this classification so far includes Britain, Ireland, South Africa and Brazil.
Those coming from "normal" risk spots must undergo a test to detect corona within no more than 48 hours after their arrival, and they must enter a stone for ten days and can finish the stone after the fifth day, provided they present a second negative smear.
The difference between the previous regions, on the one hand, and the regions of the high infection rate, and the regions of the Corona virus strains, on the other hand, is represented in the necessity for those coming from the last two classifications countries to conduct a test to detect Corona within a period not exceeding 48 hours before entering German lands.
There are fewer exceptions in the quarantine rules for people coming from high risk areas, but these exceptions differ from state to state.
