(ANSA) - BERLINO, 30 OTT - Germany has updated the list of
Covid risk areas: almost all of Italy and Austria are part of
it. In recent weeks, the Robert Koch Institut had reported 11
Italian regions as "red zone". The new list includes now 13
regions, with addition of Liguria and Campania, and the province
of Bolzano/Bozen. The Italian regions already reported on the 23
October were Valle D'Aosta, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia
Giulia, Lazio, Lombardy, Piedmont, Sardinia, Tuscany, Veneto,
and Umbria, and the province of Bolzano/Bozen. After today's
update, the list includes Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria
and Cyprus. Some regions of Greece and Latvia are also reported
for the first time, along with regions of Denmark, Portugal,
Sweden and Lithuania. Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican are red
zones, too. Foreign minister's "discouragement", following the
recommendation of the Robert Koch Institut, does not entail a
travel ban. However, those returning from all the above
mentioned countries will have to comply with a quarantine, or
undergo a test and wait for a negative result, before leaving
their homes. Even a large part of Germany, where a semi-lockdown
will take place from November 2, involving hotels with a ban on
overnight stays for tourist purposes, is now a risk area.
