Well...starting Tuesday morning, the new rule is that you must have a certificate of negative-Covid, from the country you are flying out of.....to board the plane and fly into Germany....within 48 hours of the trip.
I should note....this is on your 'tab'....not the airlines or German government.
The quick cheap tests (sold at German pharmacies or grocery stores)? NO, they can't be used.....you have go to a full-up testing center. I should add....it (the slip) has to be in German, English or French.
Problems? So far....the only issue brought up are fairly remote/rural countries....like Cuba or Dominican Republic....don't have a lot of testing facilities around. I would take a humble guess that this might also be an issue in safari trips to central Africa. You might have to add an extra day at the end, and go into some major city....to find a clinic that does the test.
Adding hassle onto a trip? Yeah, it's probably an hour or two of stress added, plus the worry if you fail the test with a positive situation.
