Berlin: German authorities announced that from March 3 all nations under its high-risk list would be removed.
“As of Thursday, March 3, 2022, at 0:00 a.m., with the entry into force of the 'Third Amendment Ordinance to the Coronavirus Entry Ordinance', no states/regions will be considered high-risk areas,” the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) statement said.
The announcement opens doors for travellers irrespective of their country of origin to visit Germany.
RKI said the decision to remove all nations from its high-risk list is backed by the understanding that the Omicron variant does not lead to major health issues.
The German federal agency and research institute accountable for disease control and prevention said the high-risk classification would be applicable to only areas that register a huge number of coronavirus cases.
