What comes out of the updated List from the Robert Koch Institute. The Foreign Ministry also issued a travel advisory for all these areas on Wednesday night.
Travelers returning from risk areas must undergo a corona test 48 hours before or after entering the country. The travel warning is not a ban, but it is intended to have a significant deterrent effect. However, it also has a silver lining for consumers: it allows travelers to cancel reservations for free.
Classification as a risk zone usually occurs if the number of new corona infections exceeds the mark of 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days. Until now, there may be other reasons for the travel warning, such as entry bans or lack of hygiene measures.
After the outbreak of the corona pandemic, the federal Foreign Office issued a world travel advisory for tourist travel for the first time on March 17. It was initially raised again in mid-June for more than 30 European countries. After a few weeks, the travel advisories for the first countries had to be reactivated due to the increasing number of infections. More than half of the EU countries are now affected.
Outside the EU, the UAE has also been (fully) classified as a corona risk area since Wednesday night.
Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Cuba, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles and Sri Lanka are no longer considered risk areas.
