The Foreign Ministry has lifted travel warnings for EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. Travel warnings for all states other than those mentioned remain valid until August 31st.

Some countries have blocked entry or special controls for certain groups of people or flights from certain regions. This also partially affects travelers from Germany. Travelers should therefore inform themselves at the embassy or consulate of their travel country in Germany before starting their trip.

Studies confirm protective effect of masks

A study on the simple mouth-nose masks suggests that they have a protective effect against the spread of the Corona Virus. The result of the study confirms that everyday masks inhibit the air flow when speaking and therefore reduce the transmission of infectious particles. In addition, in cities and local districts n which wearing a mask has been introduced, the spread of Covid-19 has slowed down. The protective function of the mouth-nose masks is also proven by a study from the Universities of Texas and California, according to which wearing a mouth-nose masks is said to have prevented more than 78,000 infections.
