I watched N-TV this afternoon, and a new German idea is occurring on vacations outside of Germany, and the mandated Covid-19 test upon returning to Germany from a 'hot-zone'.
In the month since this decision was announced the mandated test idea was thrown into action.....what the authorities can mostly say is that it's awful complicated to ID each person who fits this profile, and force them to take the test (via the airport, their doctor, or at the autobahn point).
So the Federal Ministry of Health is talking about the new idea....the standard would be folks returning from risk areas would be told (directed) to take a 5-day quarantine upon arrival in Germany. The quarantine would ONLY end with a negative test result.
The big issue? They want all EU members to agree to this, and all sixteen German states to sign up to it.
The odds of reshaping the 'pain' of this test business? Marginal.
Maybe in their mind....if you had five days of extra time, you'd skip the airport testing and just drive home....to be tested by your local doctor the next day. As for autobahn entry into the country? Maybe there's the advantage where you just drive through, and head onto your home, with the test a day or two later.
