Another Covid Policy Under Discussion

 Currently, if you (as a German) leave the country and go to a Covid-19 high-risk country/region.....you are required (mandated) to go into quarantine in Germany upon return....with the exception that you go and get tested.

Well....this morning, the Bundestag admitted that they are reviewing the idea that if you go on holiday/vacation within Germany itself....to a region with high-risk (a German high risk area)....then you could be forced to quarantine under that circumstance.

Focus brought this up in the AM.

Right now today, there are four identified areas in Germany with the high-risk 'note'.

Infuriating a bunch of people?  I would suggest that half the population are not going to be happy about this national policy, and it'll be near impossible to get the sixteen states to go along with this idea.

On the one positive side, we are out of the summer vacation period.  But a fair number of folks...starting in December....would go on weekend trips for the holidays, and do ski-weekends.  If you throw this policy into the works.....with a dozen areas of the country identified as 'high-risk'.....it'll get pretty chaotic.

The fact that you might live in a high-risk noted area, and drive 15 kilometers over for work, in a non-risk area?  Well....that would be the obvious next step with stupid decision making and creating a second whole mess for people to get through the system.
