Starting today, all travelers who want to fly to Germany must undergo a corona test. So input is only possible with negative result. There should not yet be a blanket ban on travel abroad.
As of today, entry by plane to Germany is only possible with a negative corona test. A corresponding change to the coronavirus entry regulation went into effect at midnight. The new regulation applies regardless of the status of the crown in the country from which someone flies to Germany. The test must have a maximum of 48 hours at the time of entry. The measure is limited to May 12.
The test obligation was to be introduced initially on Friday, and later on last Sunday it was signed up. The cost of the tests will be borne by the travelers. If the corona test is positive, people cannot enter Germany and must go into quarantine according to the regulations of the country in which they are staying. But even a negative result does not automatically prevent quarantine in Germany: corresponding state-level regulations for returnees from corona risk areas continue to apply.
No more ban on traveling abroad
Therefore, holiday trips abroad are still possible in principle despite the corona pandemic. There will be no foreign travel ban, as discussed last week. This was confirmed again by a government spokesperson: “At this time there is no provision for legal regulation that goes beyond the applicable provisions.” However, the Federal Government will ask all citizens to refrain from traveling in and out of the country in light of the increasing number of infections.
The discussion broke out among tens of thousands of Easter travelers to Mallorca. The Balearic island was removed from the list of corona risk areas on March 14, so there was no quarantine requirement after the return trip. Chancellor Angela Merkel had said during her consultations with the prime minister that it could not be that one could not prevent people from flying to Mallorca, but that a movement radius of 15 kilometers could be imposed in Flensburg. But legal concerns and criticism even from coalition partner SPD had led to the project being abandoned.
