BERLIN, 22nd May, 2021 (WAM) Germany is adjusting its classification of Britain to identify it as a virus variant area due to the spread of the coronavirus strain first identified in India, the Robert Koch institute (RKI) for disease control said. The move means significant restrictions on travel will come into force on Sunday. Airlines, rail and bus companies will only be able to bring German citizens or residents into the country. Arrivals in Germany will have to spend two weeks in quarantine, with no possible reduction even if they test negative for the virus.
