Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Which UK travellers won’t face 2 weeks in quarantine?

From Sunday 23 May, people travelling to Germany from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland may only enter the country if they are a German citizen or resident.

Spouses and children under 18 of a German citizen or resident can also enter, as long as the household are travelling together.

Those with an urgent humanitarian reason such as an immediate family bereavement are also able to enter.
But anyone entering the country from the UK will have to quarantine for two weeks, even if they test negative for the coronavirus.

People who are only transferring from one flight to another will still be allowed in, however they must remain in the airport transit area.

Appears the banning of UK Travellers is down to the fear of India Variant

Thanks, I did read that, hence my reply to foxholer.(y)
 
Germany must be worried about the Indian variant from the UK as on the face of it they are currently in a far far worse off situation than us at the moment despite things having got a lot better than they were a few weeks ago.
Thyey have had 5 times more cases than us in the past 7 days and over 30 times more deaths (still averaging nearly 200 per day).

In all fairness they have been worried about the Indian variant for a short while, UK travellers have simply been added to the list that already exists as we’ve seen a significant increase in cases here over the past few weeks.
 
Typical, you have a go at me again. Did I miss your rebuke to hobbit, to whom I was responding?

Also, you started the thread but you have no right to dictate what aspects people discuss.

You're absolutely right, I do not claim anything, it just looked to me like the thread was caught up in pseudo political bickering and òn the way to closure. Just IMO.

I suggest you stop contributing to that!
I believe there'll be debate (healthy or otherwise) about this topic until the pandemic is over!
Personally, I'd sooner believe the (generally) unbiased views of medical professionals than the likes of public servants and similar who have (or are required to have) specific (political?) attitudes on the subject!
