“We are very concerned about a recently discovered viral mutation in India. In order not to jeopardize our vaccination campaign, travel to India should be significantly limited. Thus, the federal government will soon declare India a region with virus variants. As of Sunday evening, only Germans from India are allowed to enter, they must also be tested before leaving and immediately after entering a 14-day quarantine. “
On the other hand, Italy has suspended the entry of foreign travelers who have been in India for the past 14 days. In addition, Italians living in India will be allowed to return only with a negative test result before departure and after arrival. They will have to go to quarantine soon after entering Italy.
