Here's what Kosovo and Albania benefit from new COVIDD-19 entry into Germany

As for those who have not been vaccinated or passed Ovid-19 and who come from a danger zone, such as Albania and Kosovo, they can secure entry into Germany by testing, provided the test comes up with a negative outcome. So they can run an antigen test from which they should not have spent 48 hours entering Germany; or even a test. The PCR, so it hasn't been done earlier than 72 hours from entering Germany.

Both Albania and Kosovo benefit from the relief of the new regulation for the entry trips adopted today by the German government, but in different ways.

The greatest relief for quarantine with the new German entry regulation comes to classified states as danger zones.

Germany's leading health authority, the Robert Koch Institute, currently classifies Albania in risk areas. This classification came into force on April 25. Albania was formerly classified in the states as high risk zones.

Kosovo and North Macedonia, on the other hand, continue to be high-risk areas.

For Albania, such as a danger zone, quarantine (which still exists in principle for any person who enters from the outside world in Germany) is eliminated or finished prematurely when you present the testimony of the negative test, or that you have been healed by Covid-19 or that you have a vaccine of your vaccine to one of the licensed vaccines in the European Union. This data should be forwarded during the German entry recording.

Differences Between Risk Zones and High Danger Areas

For Kosovo and Northern Macedonia, such as high-risk areas, quarantine (which still exists in principle for any person entering from the outside world in Germany) may end up five days after entering Germany through a test.

When you enter Germany from high-risk areas such as Kosovo and Northern Macedonia, the new regulation predicts that you should also present to the entrance the testimony of the negative test or that you've passed and recovered from Ovid-19, or that you have a vaccine that you've been vaccinated with one of the licensed vaccines in the European Union.

However, important for citizens of both Albania and Kosovo and northern Macedonia is that these states are not classified by Germany as areas of virus variants. Because for regions of the virus's variants, quarantine in Germany cannot be eliminated or completed prematurely by a test of either new regulations.

And for families it will be easier to travel. Under the new regulation, vaccinated must be parents, children should not be vaccinated. The German federal government further approved a further 300m-euro fund today (12.05). /DW/
