Germany is lifting a Covid-related travel ban on people from the UK and 4 other variant-hit countries. The restrictions, which also applied to people from Portugal, Russia, India, and Nepal, are relaxed from Wednesday. Visitors who are fully vaccinated also won’t be required to quarantine. Non-vaccinated people will however still be required to quarantine for up to 10 days, with the selection to end their quarantine early with a negative test on the fifth day. The five countries have hitherto been classified as “virus variant areas” thanks to the spread of the Delta and Delta Plus variants, which were first identified in India. Although German citizens and residents were exempt from the travel ban, they were required to quarantine for 14 days after visiting any of the five “virus variant” countries. The countries will now be reclassified as “high incidence areas”, the Koch Institute (RKI) said on Monday. On Friday, after talks with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Chancellor Angela Merkel said fully vaccinated Britons would soon be able to visit Germany without having to quarantine.
