The testing and quarantine rules don’t apply to super-short tripsOK, the rules are a lot more uniform than they used to be, but it wouldn’t be Germany without some Sonderregelungen (special regulations). It’s also worth mentioning that if you only pass through a risk area without stopping there, you’re exempt from needing to quarantine. There are no ‘basic risk areas’ anymoreAnd then there were two: high-incidence areas and virus variant areas. From Sunday, the basic risk area category is being scrapped – so you can expect to see a slightly slimmer version of the Robert Koch Institute’s risk area list from August onwards. You’ll know if you do need to head there by checking to see if your holiday destination is on the Robert Koch Institute’s list of risk areas.
