The German health minister has announced that the government will suspend a pandemic regulation demanding people to produce evidence of COVID-19 vaccination, a negative SARS-CoV-2 test result, or a recent recovery from the disease to enter the country in the summer.
The German health minister, Karl Lauterbach, told the Funke newspaper group that the restriction, which applies to everyone age 12 and above traveling from anywhere in the world, will be suspended from June 1 through August 31.
Since early March, Germany has not placed any nation or territory on its list of “high-risk areas” for COVID-19.
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has dropped dramatically in Germany in recent weeks, and the majority of regulations have been relaxed.
