Germany added Turkey, USA and Israel to high-risk countries on Friday.
Unvaccinated passengers returning to Germany from these countries will be subject to a minimum 5-day quarantine.
Germany’s Robert Koch Institute also included Kenya, Montenegro, Vietnam, French Guiana and French Polynesia to high risk areas with yesterday’s update. Some regions of Portugal were excluded from the list.
The new rule will be valid for countries other than Turkey as of Sunday, August 15. Turkey will be in the list as of Tuesday August 17.
