Risk areas

Germany does not classify the Czech Republic as a high-risk area. Therefore no obligations or restrictions exist regarding the entry to Saxony.

Most of the regulations can be found in the Federal Coronavirus Entry Ordinance (CoronaEinreiseV, see link below), to which the following paragraphs refer.
