If travelers develop symptoms associated with Covid-19 (coughing, a runny nose, sore throat, or fever) they should get in touch by phone with a doctor or contact the hotline 116 117. Often, travel guides or hotels can also help in such cases. Travelers should keep contact details of their home country’s embassy or consulate in Germany in case they need to contact them.

Travel bans are in place for countries with widespread occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 virus variants of concern (referred to as areas of variant of concern). Transport companies, e.g. air carriers and railway companies, may not transport any persons from these countries to Germany. There are only a few, strictly defined exceptions to this travel ban, namely for: German citizens and persons who are resident in Germany with a current right to reside in the country, as well as their spouses, partners living in the same household and minor children; persons catching a connecting flight who do not leave the transit zone of a passenger airport; and few other special cases.
