In the future, the German Federal Minister of Health would like to have all people entering Germany from a risk area tested for the corona virus.

The legal basis required for this is to come into force next week and oblige travelers to undergo a medical examination after their vacation - free of charge.

This is intended to protect all citizens. "We have to prevent those returning from traveling unnoticed infecting others and thus triggering new chains of infection," said the CDU politician. Which countries will ultimately be classified as risk areas is still unclear how zeit.de reported. A corresponding list is to be presented in cooperation with the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
