The fall season is turning cloudy for many European holiday regions. Due to the dynamism of the virus, the Federal Foreign Office classifies a large number of travel destinations as corona risk areas. More than half of all EU countries are now affected.
The list of corona risk areas continues to grow. Since Wednesday night, the federal government has been warning against travel to more than half of all EU member states, either fully or partially. The background is the rapid rate of infection in the respective regions.

For the respective evaluation of the regions, the RKI refers to an evaluation in two stages on its part: Accordingly, the responsible bodies of the Chancellery, the Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Ministry of Health verify whether the incidence of seven days in the regions in question exceeds the upper limit of 50 cases. exceeds. Therefore, a region is potentially a risk area if 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants are registered in seven days.
This is followed by a second step in the evaluation, which provides for an analysis that is independent of the limit value. The RKI notes that countries and regions that fall below the limit value may also be considered for a travel warning if “there is nevertheless a risk of an increased risk of infection.” Experts look at things like testing capabilities and hygiene concepts.
Even if an official warning of “unnecessary tourist travel” in no way amounts to a ban, German vacationers should be discouraged from traveling to the affected regions. If you travel anyway, you must undergo a Covid-19 test 48 hours before or after your return to Germany and go into quarantine. So they are only allowed to drop them again after official approval.
