According to reports by the Funke media group, the classification should come into force on Sunday. Unvaccinated people then have to go into quarantine after they return.
Germany wants to put Austria on the list of high-risk areas again because of the increased number of infections. Berlin also declared the Czech Republic and Hungary to be high-risk areas, reported the Funke media group, according to Reuters. The classification should come into force on Sunday. Vaccinated and convalescent people do not have to go into quarantine after returning from these countries, unvaccinated people have to go into a ten-day quarantine after return.
The quarantine should end with a negative corona test after five days at the earliest.
So far only the EU countries Slovakia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia have been on the list of the Robert Koch Institute. The German Robert Koch Institute classifies countries and regions with a particularly high risk of infection as high-risk areas.
Until now, a 3-G certificate was sufficient for entry from Austria to Germany. In the future there will be a registration and quarantine obligation. There is no quarantine requirement for vaccinated and convalescent people. In future, you will have to complete a digital entry registration before entering the country and upload your vaccination or recovery certificate. The confirmation of registration must be carried with you upon entry.
Austria was only removed from the German risk list five months ago – in June. Last autumn, the Federal Republic put the Austrian federal states one after the other on the risk list and finally on November 1st declared all of Austria – with the exception of the Kleinwalsertal and Jungholz – a risk area.
