The new Coronavirus Entry Regulation aims to minimise the entry of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections from areas with an increased or particularly high risk of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection.

The risk areas are divided into the following levels:

• Level 1: High-risk areas
• Level 2: High-risk areas with incidence >200
• Level 3: Risk areas with certain virus mutations

Risk area level 1: After a stay in a risk area, before entering the country, travellers must - as before - fill out a digital entry declaration. In principle, all guests require a negative Corona test result (antigen or PCR test) for their flight to Germany in accordance with official requirements of the Federal Republic of Germany, which must not be older than 48 hours at the time of entry into Germany. Proof is a medical certificate or a test result regarding the absence of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.

Risk area level 2 and 3: For persons entering from certain risk areas with a particularly high risk, increased requirements are imposed correlating to the qualified risk situation: This concerns persons who have stayed in a risk area for which a particularly high risk of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has been identified, because in this risk area there is either a particularly high incidence for the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (high-incidence area = level 2) or certain variants of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus have occurred there in a widespread manner (virus variant area = level 3). In principle, all guests require a negative Corona test result (antigen or PCR test) for their flight to Germany in accordance with official requirements of the Federal Republic of Germany, which must not be older than 48 hours at the time of entry into Germany.

Areas with a particularly high risk are areas in which there is a particular risk of entry due to the spread of mutations of the virus or particularly high incidences. These are published on the website of the Robert Koch Institute.
