Here’s a bit more detail on that report that Germany is relaxing its quarantine rules for arrivals from the Schengen passport-free zone, the rest of the EU and the UK.
Visitors will still be required to quarantine for 14 days if they are coming from a country with “elevated infections”, an interior ministry spokesperson said, according to Reuters.
Some areas of Germany, including North Rhine-Westphalia, have already eased their rules.
As of 9 April, visitors to Germany have been required to go directly to their accommodation and stay in isolation for 14 days. Exceptions include commuters, seasonal workers and police and health authorities.
The quarantine rules will still apply to visitors from countries outside Europe.
