But Vienna has also been added to the list of risk areas in Germany.

Coronavirus: the second wave

Half a year after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the spring, the second wave of the pandemic has arrived. The radical increase in the number of infected is forcing more and more countries to re-impose restrictions, despite the fact that the world economy has not even recovered from the effects of the spring outbreak. According to the posters, the second wave also reached Hungary. Follow our news!

In a statement, the German Robert Koch Institute announced changes in the travel possibilities of German citizens: the most interesting thing for us is that Budapest will continue to be considered a risk zone, which means that the Hungarian capital has been placed on the list quarantine.

The risk classification means that those arriving in Germany from such an area must go into home quarantine, notify the local health office and undergo a coronavirus test within 72 hours. In the event of a negative finding, the health office can order the quarantine to be lifted.

As of October 1, the quarantine can be lifted at the earliest after the fifth day in the event of a negative finding.

But it is not only when returning home from the Hungarian capital that home quarantine is mandatory in Germany: Vienna, for example, also falls into this category, according to the September 16 announcement, along with several Croatian and French territories.

Under German standards, areas with a higher registered population of more than 50 per 100,000 in the last seven days are included in the risk category, but diplomatic reports are also taken into account: for example, what measures has the government of the country in the recent past; or the number of tests.
