Germany’s latest 2022 entry regulations plan to relax entry from June to August

Recently, entry restrictions in various countries around the world have been adjusted. Previously, they were issued by Germany. Starting from June 1, there is no need to present a 3G certificate when entering Germany. Now that the epidemic situation has improved, the German Health Minister expressed his hope that the regulations for entry into Germany will be relaxed from June to August. See below for details.

“We will suspend the ‘3G’ rules until the end of August,” Lauterbach told reporters. From June 1, travelers returning to Germany and other incoming travelers no longer need to prove whether they have been vaccinated, recovered or tested.

Germany’s current entry regulations will expire on May 31. Under this provision, all immigrants over the age of 12 are still required to provide a ‘3G’ certificate.

But for travelers from areas with mutated viruses, strict rules still apply: they must quarantine for 14 days after entry, even if they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or have recovered. Lauterbach said: "If these areas are defined, migrants must be quarantined." This rule will continue to apply in the coming months. "Even if the incidence rate is lower in summer, we must remain cautious amid the global epidemic." However, no country has yet been designated as a virus mutation area.

It is reported that the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Germany has declined steadily recently. However, experts worry that statistics may be skewed as health authorities are overstretched and not all infected people receive nucleic acid tests.

According to media reports, changes to the new coronavirus entry regulations will be passed by the federal cabinet on the 25th. It also stipulates that in future not only EU-approved vaccines, but also all vaccines approved by WHO will be recognized when entering Germany.
