The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has declared Estonia and Latvia to be new high-risk areas.
Lithuania has been on the RKI's high-risk list since last Sunday, and now Estonia and Latvia are joining them. In Latvia, the seven-day incidence is over 440 and not even half of the population is fully vaccinated. In Estonia the situation is similar, as reisevor9.de reports.
In addition to the Baltic countries, the RKI has identified Brunei Darussalam, Yemen and the Ukraine as high-risk areas. This status is accompanied by a travel warning from the Federal Foreign Office. Unvaccinated returnees from these countries must therefore be quarantined.
At the same time, some areas were excluded from the high risk list. For example, there has been the all-clear for Tahiti and its islands as well as the French Caribbean, including Guadeloupe, Martinique, St. Barthélemy and St. Martin. Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Colombia and the Norwegian provinces of Oslo and Viken also fell off the list.
