(9 Sep 2020) Germany said Wednesday that its general travel warning for about 160 countries will be replaced by a more differentiated system in October.
The new system will introduce individual country-by-country assessments of the coronavirus situation, said the German foreign ministry.
Such assessments are already in place for most European countries and can change quickly according to the severity or dynamic of the pandemic.
Most countries will probably still be considered coronavirus risk zones for the time being, the foreign ministry said.
“We see an increasing incidence of infections worldwide; we also see in Germany how the numbers are developing and we must advise great caution,” said foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Adebahr.
In March, Germany had put in place a travel warning for 200 countries.
It lifted that warning in June for most European countries, in time for the summer travel season.
Since then, parts of Croatia, Spain and France have been flagged as risk zones because of the fast resurgence of the virus.
