Popular German holiday destination is planning a mandatory corona test for tourists

Germans not only have to adhere to strict entry rules when traveling abroad.

The Sylt vacation could soon only be possible with a negative corona test.

Sylt is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Germans.

And especially in the corona pandemic, where many travelers shy away from vacationing abroad, there is likely to be a great deal of interest in a trip to the North Sea island.

An analysis by the HomeToGo portal has already shown that many Germans would not only like to spend their Easter holiday in their own country, but also on the North Sea, the Baltic Sea or on Sylt.

Sylt's mayor Nikolas Häckel is also expecting something similar.

In order to avoid a second island lockdown, he now wants to introduce strict corona measures for tourists, as reported by the

Lübecker Nachrichten

Sylt vacation only with a negative corona test?

Mayor plans entry restrictions

In the

future,

travelers should present

either a negative PCR test or a rapid test

for their

holiday on Sylt

.

According to Häckel's plans, the test results must be shown directly at check-in at the hotel or in the holiday apartment.

But according to the

Lübecker Nachrichten

,

he would think it would be even better

if the federal police would control the entry immediately.

In order to really put the plans into practice, the mayor is now calling on the state government of Schleswig-Holstein and the district of North Friesland

to create the

legal basis for entry controls on holidaymakers

.

Until then, the community should try to encourage tourists to abide by the rules with appeals and information.

On the island itself, an app will then track the contacts of the holidaymakers.

Corona pandemic: Easter holiday in Germany in 2021 possible?

Whether the

Easter holiday in 2021 can

even take place is still in the stars.

At the Prime Minister's Conference on March 3rd, the federal and state governments postponed a decision to open hotels to hotels again.

The topic of tourism will probably not be part of the debate again until March 22nd - which means that no vacation in Germany will be possible until shortly before Easter.

In addition, the federal government continues to warn against travel within Germany and abroad that is not absolutely necessary.
