Greece and the Netherlands are now also on the updated corona risk list of the RKI as risk areas.
The Robert Koch Institute and the Federal Foreign Office have updated their risk list. All countries that are considered to be a “simple risk area”, “high incidence area” or “virus variant area” due to the local corona situation are on it. The list is usually updated once a week.
Since the last change (on July 9th, 2021) there are no new virus variant areas on the risk list. In return, a lot has happened in the areas of high incidence and “simple risk areas”. The overview.

Corona risk list: Entry from risk area with strict rules
Anyone wishing to enter Germany from a country classified as a risk area, high incidence area or virus variant area must adhere to strict rules. This includes the obligation to register: Before entering the country, a digital entry registration must be completed, and the confirmation must be with you upon entry. Anyone who has stayed in a virus variant or high incidence area must also show a negative corona test (in the case of a high incidence area, proof of vaccination or recovery is sufficient). Anyone who has been in a low-risk area must have a negative test result, vaccination or health certificate no later than 48 hours after entry. Quarantine obligations also apply in each case. (tab)
