Coronavirus: Tyrol is no longer a virus variant area for Germany



[ad_1]

Since Sunday, Tyrol is no longer a virus variant area for Germany. After six weeks, the virological classification was completed at midnight, justifying a de facto entry ban by the neighboring country. Entry is therefore possible again, but previous regulation in the form of stricter registration and quarantine obligations continues to take effect. They apply to all people who have been in a virus variant area in the last ten days.

Thus, travelers from Tyrol will only be equal to those from other Austrian federal states in a week and a half. Until then, there is a mandatory 14-day quarantine without the possibility of free tests and the obligation to present a negative corona test at the border. When entering from other parts of Austria, you can also take the corona test after entering the country and take the free test within five days. It is not known how long it will remain, the classification of Austria as a high incidence area for coronavirus will likely be only a matter of days.

Due to the spread of the South African virus mutation, Germany introduced stationary border controls with Tyrol on February 14. Since then, only Germans and foreigners residing in Germany have been admitted. There were only a few exceptions, for example for truck drivers and travelers in systemically important professions, but these too had to submit a negative corona test. (apa)
