What vacationers need to know now
In many European countries, the number of new corona cases is critically increasing. Therefore, the Federal Government is now warning against travel to Vienna and other parts of France.
Due to the sharp increase in new corona infections, the federal government has declared other regions in several European countries to be risk areas in addition to the Austrian capital Vienna. An overview.
reThe Robert Koch Institute released an updated list of corona risk areas on Wednesday. The central criterion for classification as a risk area is in which states or regions there have been more than 50 new people infected per 100,000 inhabitants in the last seven days. The Foreign Ministry’s warning of “unnecessary tourist trips” generally follows after a short period of time.
For German vacationers, returning from a risk area means a mandatory crown test and, if necessary, quarantine until a negative result is available. A travel warning is not a ban, but is intended to have a significant deterrent effect. However, it also has a silver lining for consumers: it allows travelers to cancel package tour reservations free of charge.
