Whether in the Alps or the Baltic Sea – it becomes problematic for fall vacationers from Germany’s inner crown risk areas. Where you can go and spend the night, where the quarantine is applied, which varies in many places. An overview.
Holidays in Germany are also very pleasant, the Prime Ministers of the South and North and the Minister of Health said a few weeks ago with a view to the autumn holidays. On the other hand, travel abroad should be avoided, as Germany is practically surrounded by corona risk areas. Meanwhile, the situation has also drastically worsened within Germany. The number of new infections is increasing enormously, especially in the larger cities, but also after so-called super spread events, such as weddings or family celebrations.
Several federal states prefer not to have tourists from these hot spot regions with them; the bulky term for this is the accommodation ban. The result: autumn holidays on the Baltic Sea or in the Alps are now difficult, especially since there are no uniform rules at the national level. Where you can go and spend the night, where the quarantine is applied, differs in many places.
Most federal states decided Wednesday night that tourists within Germany from risk areas can only be accommodated if they can show a negative corona test that is no more than 48 hours old. This should work for travelers from areas with more than 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within seven days. According to the Robert Koch Institute, these currently include: the four Berlin districts of Mitte, Neukölln, Tempelhof-Schöneberg and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, as well as Bremen, the district of Vechta in Lower Saxony, Esslingen in Baden-Württemberg and the cities of Hamm, Hagen and Remscheid in North Rhine-Westphalia. Westphalia. According to the status report of the Senate Health Administration on Thursday afternoon, even the city of Berlin as a whole has exceeded the value. The city of Frankfurt am Main also reported that the alert level was exceeded.
In most federal states. Specifically: Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Hesse, Saarland, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein. Since then Lower Saxony has joined. Only a negative corona test that is not older than 48 hours can lift the ban. “If you come in with a negative test, you can enjoy a vacation,” Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder said. In exchange for this mandatory test, travelers do not have to go through the mandatory two-week quarantine in these federal states.
No. These “free trials” for travel should only be possible if there are sufficient trial possibilities. Tests to maintain the education system, for example, take priority.
Bremen, Berlin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and Thuringia presented protocol statements on the decision. The country Bremen, which even surpassed the 50 mark on Wednesday, still needs advice.
Thuringia does not support the ban on accommodation. According to the Infection Protection Act, the red-red-green state government initially sees the responsibility of the regional health authorities. They would order quarantine for infected people or people suspected of having a crown. You are not allowed to leave the region where there is a hotspot of infection. But for him it is incomprehensible why not all the people in that region should be accommodated, Prime Minister Bodo Ramelow told ZDF. When asked if what the majority of the prime ministers had decided was “nonsense”, the leftist politician replied: “Yes, that’s what I say.”
Also in North Rhine-Westphalia At the moment, there are no accommodation bans for vacationers from the Crown hot spots in the German interior. “There is no automatism,” said the head of the NRW State Chancellery, Nathanael Liminski. This instrument can be used if the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of Health identifies certain regions accordingly. In other words: NRW is not opposed in principle to the accommodation ban, but has not yet implemented it.
Sedan demanded to be treated “as an entire city and a unitary community” when assessing the infection rate. However, other federal states such as Schleswig-Holstein and Bavaria disagreed. They put residents of Berlin districts like Mitte and Neukölln with quarantine requirements or a lodging ban if they can’t show negative test.
Overall, though, Berlin doesn’t want to rule out a ban on lodging for travelers from Corona’s risk areas. That’s conceivable, but not yet, said government mayor Michael Müller.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania It wants to adhere to even stricter rules and, in addition to travel restrictions and accommodation prohibitions, comply with the quarantine obligation for visitors to risk areas. The Corona state ordinance states that tourists from risky areas can only enter “if there is a medical certificate confirming that there is no evidence of infection with the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus.” This certificate should not be older than 48 hours. However, there is an obligation to isolate yourself at home immediately for 14 days. The responsible health department may shorten the quarantine if another PCR test after 5 to 7 days is also negative.
The above regulations only apply to tourist trips. Family visits are expressly excluded, as is travel.
