The federal government classifies Turkey as a high incidence area from Sunday due to the high number of corona infections.
This classification entails special restrictions when entering Germany.
The Federal Foreign Office justified the decision on Friday by saying that the number of new corona infections in Turkey had exceeded the threshold of 200 cases per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days.
Also new on the list are Croatia, Armenia and Ukraine.
Israel, on the other hand, will no longer be considered a risk area in the future - the vaccination campaign there is well advanced.
Malta will not be a high incidence area in the future, but it will still be a risk area, and the same applies to Slovakia. The classifications are made after a joint analysis and decision by the Ministry of Health, the Foreign Office and the Ministry of the Interior.
