Many Germans want to go on vacation again in June.
How good that some countries in Europe are now loosening a few corona rules.
Summer is just around the corner and many are thirsting for a relaxing beach holiday in the sun.
In order to make traveling even more attractive, many countries such as Italy, Spain or Austria are loosening their corona measures.
But it doesn't work completely without rules: In many places you still need a test certificate or entry forms.
You must also note that most European countries are still risk areas from the point of view of the Robert Koch Institute.
You can find out here which relaxations have been made and what needs to be considered when entering the country.
Italy vacation in June: These relaxations apply now
On June 1, the corona restrictions were eased enormously in three Italian regions. According to the Corona traffic light, which is used in Italy, the
regions Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Molise on the Andria and the island of Sardinia are again "white zones"
. This means that the 7-day incidence there has been below 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants for three weeks. Those who stay there only have to comply with the mask requirement and the rules of distance. The regions of Veneto, Liguria and Abbruzzo are to follow next week. If the number of infections continues to fall, the other regions of Italy should also become “white zones” by the end of the month.
Since June 1, restaurants have been able to welcome guests indoors again, and from June 7, the curfew will not apply until midnight.
From June 21st, the curfew could be lifted completely.
Entry rules
: If you want to travel to Italy, you must first complete an online registration and inform the responsible health department within 48 hours.
In addition, a negative PCR or antigen rapid test that is not older than 48 hours is required.
There is only an exception to the compulsory test for vaccinated and convalescent people when they travel to Sardinia.

Herd immunity in Malta: entry easing from June
Malta announced herd immunity in May and
reopened to holidaymakers on June 1st
. The mask requirement is no longer required on beaches and pools, and six people are to be allowed per table in restaurants again from June 7th. In addition, groups of up to six people can meet again in public. Bars and clubs are allowed to open under certain conditions. From July 7th, the mask requirement for fully vaccinated people will no longer apply if they are traveling alone or with other fully vaccinated people. Groups of more than two people still have to wear masks.
Entry rules
: Entry from
so-called "corridor countries"
to Malta is permitted - this includes Germany.
Upon entry, all travelers over five years of age must present a “Passenger Location Form” and a negative PCR test that is not older than 72 hours.
The test can also be carried out upon arrival at the airport - otherwise there is a 14-day quarantine obligation.
Instead of the negative PCR test, a Maltese vaccination certificate with a QR code can be presented, as the Federal Foreign Office informs.
A mask is required on arrival at the airport, and body temperature is measured.
In addition, a "Public Health Travel Declaration" must be carried with you upon entry.
Vacation despite Corona: Spain promises more freedom to travel from June 7th
Spain is planning more travel freedom from June 7th: From then on,
fully vaccinated and convalescent people
from all over the world
will be allowed to travel
without a corona test. The vaccinated must be immunized with a vaccine that is approved in the EU. Since Whit Monday, travelers from the EU are no longer required to test if the 14-day incidence in their country is below 25 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants. Germany is currently not one of them.
Entry rules
: Travelers from six years of age who come from a risk country must present a negative PCR test.
Germany is also currently one of the risk countries.
The test must not be older than 72 hours.
Air travelers must also fill out a form on the Spain Travel Health portal - this can also be done using the free SpTH app.
A QR code is generated from this, which must be presented on entry.

Holidays in Austria with more freedom
Austria had already made some easing on May 19. Since then, there has been
no quarantine requirement for people entering
from a country “with a low level of infection” - such as Germany. Many facilities can be visited with a negative test result, proof of vaccination or confirmation of a Covid 19 disease. From June 10th,
further smaller relaxations are to
follow: a maximum of eight adults per group of visitors will be allowed in the indoor area of restaurants and 16 adults in the outdoor area - children are not included, and there are no restrictions on the number of households. In addition, the minimum distance between groups of guests in accommodation is reduced to one meter.
Entry rules
: Entry into Austria is permitted with a negative PCR test that is not older than 72 hours or a rapid antigen test that is not older than 48 hours.
Alternatively, proof of vaccination for a first vaccination can be presented from the 22nd day after the first dose.
Proof of a previous infection in the past six months is also valid.
In addition, travelers must register electronically before entering Austria.
Vacation in June: Easier entry into Turkey
Since June 1, entry into Turkey has also been possible with a negative rapid antigen test that is not older than 48 hours.
However, a negative PCR test from a maximum of 72 hours ago can still be submitted.
Official proof of a complete vaccination at least 14 days ago or official documentation of recovery from a Covid 19 disease that was no more than six months ago are also valid.
Entry rules
: In addition to the test, vaccination or recovery certificate, travelers must fill out an electronic form from the Turkish Ministry of Health.
This is checked upon entry.
Travelers then receive an authorization code ("HES code") which must be shown during controls in the country.
