While there is still hot debate in Germany as to whether people vaccinated against corona can travel without restrictions, other European countries have already taken action.

So far, corona-vaccinated people in Germany have not been exempted from the quarantine measures that apply to travelers returning from risk areas.

There is still too little information on whether people who have been vaccinated can actually no longer transmit the virus.

In addition, some politicians are reluctant to create a two-class society.

In other European countries, on the other hand, the situation is very different - here easing is planned or already in force.

Holiday 2021: First countries exempt corona vaccinated people from the obligation to quarantine

The

Republic of Moldova

has

lifted

its

entry ban on people who can prove they have been vaccinated against the coronavirus

.

The National Agency for Public Health maintains a list of countries that are affected by high infection rates and whose citizens - but also transit travelers - are not allowed to enter the republic.

Germany is currently not on this list.

Nevertheless, there are also exceptions for travelers from these areas - for example, if they are Moldovan citizens.

While they have to

go

into a

14-day quarantine

after entry

, this obligation does not apply to corona-vaccinated people.

This makes the Republic of Moldova one of the first European countries to lift travel restrictions for immunized people.

Nevertheless, a travel warning from the Federal Foreign Office still applies - you do not have to be in quarantine when entering the country, but certainly when you return.

Poland and Iceland also want to allow corona vaccinated people to enter the country

In

Poland, there

is now an exception for travelers who can provide proof of corona vaccination.

All other travelers must continue to be in a ten-day quarantine until January 31st.

According to the industry magazine

fvw,

exceptions to the test and quarantine obligation upon entry are also planned

in Iceland

, provided that the people concerned have been vaccinated against the corona virus.

How exactly these rules should look like has not yet been precisely defined.
