The German embassy has announced that its Covid travel ban will be lifted for those who are fully vaccinated or have an important reason for travelling.
British tourists will be allowed to visit Germany again from next Monday, January 3.
But those travellers will have to be fully vaccinated or have an important reason for travelling to be allowed to enter the country. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps labelled the move a ‘welcome development from our German colleagues’. Germany announced earlier this month that it was tightening rules on travel from the UK in an attempt to curb the spread of the Omicron variant.The move has since caused outrage and bafflement among experts and the tourism industry, since the Omicron variant is now all over the world and many other European countries are also recording sky-high case rates.
