Germany to abandon airport testing and reimpose quarantine
Germany is expected to announce this week that it will replace Covid-19 testing at airports for passengers from high-risk countries with a mandatory quarantine period of up to 14 days, prompting dismay from airline representatives. (www.flightglobal.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
this is destructive viral health policy, for it overlooks the accurate short term tests that allow passengers to travel for everyone's benefit. Make the test a bit difficult, not unavailable. What facts do the German health authorities supposibly have that make this a logical new position???
Another place Americans can't travel to because the pandemic was handled so poorly in this country. USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
Lol you saw how it was manage in your country? Please.
It's what happens when we act selfishly in a false cloak of "freedom." Leaders reinforce this when they act as if the virus not as a contagion that must be controlled through social behavior but rather as a plague whose cost in sickness and death IS WHAT IT IS. Just open schools and businesses, and too bad for the millions affected and hundreds of thousands that die. Sucks to be you. The plan: IT IS WHAT IT IS while we wait for a vaccine, a magic therapeutic, or a “just fades away” miracle.
I hope this is no longer in effect come next May. Will be traveling thru Frankfort with a 5 hour layover and was thinking of spending a couple hours in the Romer area.
Summary: from October 1 there is likely to be a mandatory 14-day quarantine for travelers from high risk countries, 5-day quarantine for those who test negative after arriving in Germany.
