Berlin:

Germany’s health agency said on Monday five so-called virus variant countries would be reclassified as “high incidence areas”, lifting a ban on entry for travellers from those nations who were not German residents or citizens.

The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) said India, Nepal, Russia, Portugal and Britain would be reclassified from Wednesday, meaning any traveller will be able to enter as long as they observe quarantine rules.
