The Federal Republic of Germany no longer regards Austria - with the exception of Tyrol and Vorarlberg - as a risk area. At the same time, Uruguay was upgraded to virus variant area.

Lithuania, Sweden, Turkey and the Norwegian provinces of Troms og Finnmark and Trøndelag are no longer designated as high incidence but as risk areas. According to the Robert Koch Institute, the following states or regions are no longer a risk area: France - Corsica and the French overseas departments Mayotte, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna, French Polynesia and New Caledonia, Croatia - the Dubrovnik-Neretva counties, Istria, Karlovac, Krapina-Zagorje, Požega-Slavonia and Split-Dalmatia, Italy, Netherlands - the overseas parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands Curaçao, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, Switzerland - the cantons of Aargau, Basel-Stadt, Basel-Land, Graubünden, Solothurn, Ticino, Zug and Zurich, the Czech Republic and the Vatican.

The Robert Koch Institute no longer lists all of the Austrian federal states, with the exception of Tyrol and Vorarlberg, as risk areas. Austria landed on the “red list” in autumn of the previous year and only now is Germany gradually lifting the warnings. The Kleinwalsertal and Mittelberg exclaves have not been viewed as risk areas for a long time.
