122 countries are currently considered to be corona risk areas.
Yet thousands are planning their vacations in countries like Spain, Portugal or Cyprus.
Berlin - Two thirds of Germans do not think it is justifiable to take a vacation in a region classified as a corona risk area by the federal government, such as Spain.
In a survey carried out by the YouGov opinion research institute on behalf of the German Press Agency, 67 percent rejected tourist trips to such areas.
Only 25 percent said they consider vacations in risk areas to be justifiable.
8 percent did not provide any information.
Many holiday regions risk areas
The federal government currently has 122 countries wholly or partially in one of the three corona risk categories.
Holiday regions such as Spain and Turkey are among the easy risk areas.
Portugal and Cyprus are even classified as high incidence areas with particularly high numbers of infections.
Returnees from these two countries who are not fully vaccinated or have recovered must be quarantined for 5 to 10 days.
Those who return from the eleven countries with a high spread of particularly dangerous virus variant areas outside of Europe even have to be in quarantine for 14 days.
This also applies to those who have been vaccinated and those who have recovered.
Majority for quarantine obligations
According to YouGov poll, a large majority of 73 percent support quarantine obligations.
39 are for keeping them as they are.
Another 34 percent are even in favor of tightening.
Only 22 percent are in favor of easing or abolishing the quarantine requirement.
The federal government has already relaxed the travel restrictions for vacationers and is already planning further simplifications.
The category of risk areas, in which 82 countries are currently classified, should possibly be dropped on August 1st with a new entry regulation.
Lauterbach warns unvaccinated people
SPD health politician Karl Lauterbach warned the unvaccinated against vacation travel. "Travel is a risk in these times, this definitely applies to the unvaccinated," he told the newspapers of the Funke media group. He understands when people want to go on vacation. “We will have significantly more cases in the fall. That would have happened, but it is accelerated somewhat by traveling. "Lauterbach reckons with a two-class situation in Herbt:" Here the vaccinated, they are relatively safe. There the unvaccinated, they will take a great risk. ”Dpa
