The Federal Foreign Office has also issued travel warnings for Prague and Geneva. In addition, large parts of France are now considered risk areas.
The corona pandemic continues to circulate and the Federal Foreign Office is reacting again to the infection process in some European regions. The authority is now warning against unnecessary trips to the Czech capital Prague, the Swiss cantons of Geneva and Vaud and the Croatian areas of Dubrovnik-Neretva and Pozega-Slavonia. In France, too, more regions are considered to be risk areas: Occitanie, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes and the island of Corsica should therefore no longer be visited for the time being.
In Croatia, France and many other parts of Europe, including areas in Spain, partial travel warnings had been in effect for some time. The Federal Foreign Office's general travel warning for all countries outside Europe expires at the end of September. Subsequently, according to the decision of the Federal Cabinet, there will also be tailored assessments for these parts of the world that take into account the actual infection process.
Travel warning is not a travel ban
A travel warning is not a travel ban, but is intended to have a deterrent effect. In the case of package tours, however, vacationers have the option of canceling free of charge if such an official warning has been issued for their travel destination. When returning from these areas, a corona test or subsequent quarantine are mandatory. More information is available on the homepage of the Federal Ministry of Health.
