Entering Germany during Pandemic

Information for entry into Germany during the Pandemic

Important information for travellers In order to contain the corona epidemic the Hessian state government has introduced regulations which include restrictions in various areas of life. These rules are binding for all persons residing in Hessen. Further information is available at www.hessen.de

The following regulations applicable from 09 January 2021 onwards concern all persons entering Hessen from a risk area:

  1. If you are entering Germany from a risk area you are obliged to undergo testing for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus no more than 48 hours before or immediately after entering the Federal Republic of Germany. You can take the test at the test centre in the AiRail – Check In at Frankfurt Airport. You must keep the test result on paper or in an electronic document in German, English or French for at least 10 days after entry in order to be able to comply with any verification check required by the responsible health authority. the basic test must meet the requirements of the Robert Koch Institute (https://www.rki.de/covid-19-tests).
  2. Furthermore, if you enter Hessen from abroad and have stayed in a risk area in the 10 days prior to your entry, you must immediately go home or to your accommodation by the most direct route. There you must go into quarantine for 10 days. This means that you are not allowed to leave your home / accommodation during this time. The same rule applies if you enter Hesse via another federal state. Risk areas are designated by the Robert Koch Institute: https://www.rki.de/covid-19-risikogebiete.
  3. If you enter the country from a risk area you are obliged to inform your responsible health authority immediately. You can do this by registering your entry online in advance at https://www.einreiseanmeldung.de. Carry the saved and/or printed confirmation with you so that you can present it to the carrier or the border authority. If digital registration is not possible, you must complete a written substitute registration in exceptional cases (sample: https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/InfAZ/N/Neuartiges_Coronavirus/Transport/Ersatzmitteilu ng_Covid_Tab.html) and hand it in to the carrier or the border authority or send it to the health authority immediately after your entry. You can find your responsible health authority on the Internet at https://tools.rki.de/plztool/.
  4. Your quarantine will end on the fifth day after entry at the earliest. For this you need a negative test result. The test must be taken no earlier than five days after entry. You are exempt from quarantine while taking the test. For testing, you can visit a private test centre or use another testing facility (test centres in Hesse: https://www.kvhessen.de/coronatests/) .
  5. You must remain in quarantine at home or in your accommodation until you receive the test result. The obligation for further quarantine does not apply if your test for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is negative and you do not show any typical symptoms of COVID-19 disease. If typical symptoms such as fever, dry cough or loss of smell or taste occur after entry you are obliged to inform your health authority immediately even if the test result is negative.

Violations of these regulations can be punished with a fine of up to €25,000.

The PDPA are pleased to announce our new partner for our ProTour Members: Mr Sion Thomas, official PDPA Sports Psychologist. Sion has been working as a sport psychologist for over 20 years, in numerous sports.In that time he has worked with elite athletes from across 40 different sports, ranging from dressage riders to cage fighters. As well as working as a full-time University lecturer, Sion is also attached to Kent County Cricket Club, Harlequins RFC and Crystal Palace FC.Last year, despite the peculiarities surrounding return to play during the COVID pandemic, he was part of a back room staff that won the Vitality t20 Blast (Cricket), Premiership Title (Rugby Union) and promotion to the Premier League 2 (U23’s, Football).He fully believes that the role of the sport psychologist is around performance enhancement; the elite athlete often has to contend with challenges both on and off the pitch, court and stage. A deeper understanding and awareness of these challenges leads to a positive and/or growth mindset.Sion’s work will enable players to learn to embrace situations as opposed to avoid; he firmly believes in the mantra that athletes have to “Be comfortable being uncomfortable”. There are so many variables that athletes spend far too much time focusing on (we sometimes refer to these as task-irrelevant cues).Much of Sion’s work revolves around developing interventions and strategies that therefore enable players to “Control the Controllable”. The PDPA will be sending all this information and contacts to our members.'We are delighted to have Sion on board for our members use. We take all of our members health very seriously. We already have sporting chance, thrive wellbeing APP, PDPA Health, Wealth and Wellbeing on board and our signatory for the Mental Health Charter for Recreation and Sport, this addition reflects our continued commitment to our members wellbeing.AWLCEOThe PDPA ...
