Control Over German Citizens Traveling Within Germany

Most Germans are reaching a point of being surprised of the Corona ban business and limits of travel now being imposed.

So the RKI folks (the Robert Koch Institute) have a listing.  Once you as a community reach 50 new infections per 100,000 residents within a 7-day period....you (as the community) go onto a 'bad-boy' list, and noted as 'high-risk'.

My regional news (Wiesbaden Aktuell) noted this issue.

Here's the problem....until you come off that list, you as a member of that community are going to have trouble staying overnight in hotels outside of your German state.

Hessen has gone to agree with the forbidden side of this....saying hotels must preserve the safety of the general public.

Showing a test result that you are safe?  It's only good for a two-day period.  So if you were traveling around Germany for a couple of weeks, you'd have to continually test over and over, if you came from a district with issues.

Making summer travel near impossible?  Once your town or district falls on this list....you can figure all trips are near impossible, even if you don't have the virus.
