BERLIN (Reuters) – The German government is looking into whether Britain should be classified as a virus variant area, said a Health Ministry spokesperson on Friday.
The government is expected to make a decision later on Friday, said the spokesperson.
Under German COVID rules, travellers returning from virus variant areas must quarantine for two weeks, even if they are vaccinated. Britain is currently experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases in part due to the more contagious Omicron coronavirus variant.
