Those returning from a corona risk area had to be in quarantine so far.
This was especially true for travelers from abroad.
That should change now.
The media are reporting on an explosive paper from the Bundestag.
The Corona * case numbers are at a high level in Germany.
Changes are planned to
the
quarantine
.
Now an explosive note on the file has emerged.
Here you will find the news in Germany and a map with the
current number of cases
in Germany *.
Munich - It
is well known
that
something should change
in the
quarantine rules
.
Now the media are reporting something from a memo from the federal administration that could have enormous consequences for many Germans.
Anyone who
enters another federal state
from a
risk area in Germany
should therefore be in quarantine.
So far, only holidaymakers from a foreign corona risk area * had to expect these consequences.
Corona in Germany - quarantine for vacation trips also from risk areas in Germany?
RTL and ntv quote from the
memo
: In four countries (
Berlin
,
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
,
Rhineland-Palatinate
and
Schleswig-Holstein
), the infection protection regulations as of October 1, 2020 provide for an
obligation to quarantine at home
even if a person is from an inner-German country Risk area enters or returns from there to the respective country. "
The
quarantine
rule would therefore
apply
to citizens from a region with a
7-day incidence
of 50 or higher.
The definition of “risk area” for foreign countries would be applied to German corona hotspots.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), four regions in Germany crack the value of 50 - are currently “risk areas”.
However, the state of Berlin is currently not classified as a “risk area” in this sense.
For the
entire state of Berlin
, the RKI gives a 7-day incidence of 29.4.
In this respect, Berlin would not be a risk area, but the Mitte district would be.
The Berlin Senate has so far rejected an assessment of the individual districts.
That seems to be a sticking point, as can be read on RTL.
According to the memo, the classification is regulated differently in the federal states mentioned.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Rhineland-Palatinate would automatically use the 7-day incidence published by the RKI.
If this value is above 50, the region - including Berlin Mitte - would be considered a “risk area”.
In Schleswig-Holstein, however, the Ministry of Health must expressly consent.
Schleswig-Holstein expressly points out the risk area in Germany on its website.
The district of Rhön-Grabfeld, the city of Hamm, the city of Remscheid and the district of Berlin Mitte are currently considered risk areas - as of October 2.
The 14-day quarantine can be shortened if travelers present two negative corona tests to the health department.
Corona risk areas in Germany

(North Rhine-Westphalia) - 94.4
Berlin's
center
- 52.6
Röhn-Grabfeld
- 51.4
Remscheid
(North Rhine-Westphalia) - 50.5
Corona risk areas in Germany: Quarantine exceptions for members of the Bundestag
Schleswig-Holstein
expressly exempts members of the Bundestag from the strict quarantine rule.
When members of the Bundestag return from Berlin-Mitte, they are exempt from quarantine due to their work as representatives of the people.
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the responsible health authority or the official approval must be given to free a quarantine.
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is already the strictest on entry: Germans from risk areas are not even allowed to enter here (as of October 1).
