Vacation despite Corona: How are countries classified as risk areas?

The Federal Ministry of Health, the Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Home Affairs decide which countries are classified as risk areas.

The classification is based on a two-stage assessment: In the first step, the current infection numbers play an important role.

States and regions in which there were

automatically belong to the risk areas.

But even countries in which the numbers of infections are nominally lower are not immune from being classified as risk areas: Using qualitative criteria, an analysis is carried out to determine whether there is an increased risk of infection in countries where the number of infections is nominally below the limit value.

The decisive factors are:

• Infection numbers and the type of outbreak

• Test capacities and tests carried out per inhabitant

• measures taken to contain the infection

• Reliability of the information available for certain countries
