Germany imposes mandatory testing for arrivals from high risk areas

Germany has rolled out compulsory coronavirus testing for all arrivals from high-risk areas as infection rates continued to climb across the country.

There have been more than 1,000 new infections reported for the past three days, the first time daily new infection numbers have reached four figures since May.

Mandatory testing booths were set up at airports across the country. While testing had been available at some larger airports across Germany previously, these were voluntary and did not depend on the country of departure.

On Saturday, Germany added Bulgaria and Romania to the list of high risk countries for which testing is now mandatory. Most EU countries have been excluded from the list, as well as former EU member Britain. However, parts of Spain and Belgium have been recently added as ‘high risk’ areas.
