Berlin, 20 February. (Pad/EP) –

The German government has removed Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and about 20 other countries from its list of high-risk areas for the coronavirus, which will make it easier to travel to these countries.

Anyone entering Germany from a high-risk area who has not followed a full vaccination schedule – that is, usually two doses – or who has contracted the disease will have to undergo a ten-day quarantine , although he may be exempted if he tests negative earlier than five days after admission.

Following this change, travelers from Spain over the age of six must present a negative test, a vaccination certificate or a certificate that they have passed the disease. For children under the age of six, the separation ends automatically five days after arrival.

The French overseas departments of Guyana, Mayotte and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, as well as Tunisia, Morocco, India, Ireland, Andorra, Afghanistan, Algeria, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and United The Arab Emirates was also removed from the high-risk list.

The classification as a high-risk zone is linked to a travel warning issued by the Ministry of External Affairs for non-essential tourist travel. This makes it easy and free for tourists to cancel already booked trips, but does not result in travel restrictions.
