Germany eases travel restrictions for the UK, India, and other countries

Germany is set to relax travel restrictions for the United Kingdom, India, and other countries

Visitors to such countries will have fewer needs as a result of the change. On their return or arrival, people who have received both vaccination doses or can show they have recovered from COVID-19 will not need to isolate.

People who have not been vaccinated will be required to self-isolate, but only for up to 10 days. They will also have the option to leave isolation early with a negative coronavirus test on the fifth day.

Jens Spahn, the Minister of Health, hinted last week that a policy reform could be on the way.
