Corona in Munich: These are the framework conditions for the EM 2021 in times of the pandemic.

The corona pandemic in Germany has so far proceeded in three waves: spring 2020, autumn 2020 and spring 2021. The peak of the third wave was exceeded in Munich on April 17, 2021.
Since then, the number of cases in the state capital has decreased continuously.

There is also some relief when staying in the city itself: Tourist overnight stays are again permitted in Munich.
Anyone who checks into a hotel in the state capital during the EM 2021 only has to show a negative test at the beginning of their stay.
Compulsory tests are not required for those who have been completely vaccinated or recovered.
