Germany to test travelers for virus on entry

Germany announced on Tuesday that it will begin testing visitors entering the country for the coronavirus in an effort to curb its spread.

According to Deutsche Welle, the country's Health Ministry said that all travelers, even those from low-risk areas, will undergo mandatory testing.

The ministry is reportedly seeking "an expansion of test requirements upon entry as quickly as possible," the outlet reported.

Air travelers entering Germany currently are required to provide a negative coronavirus test or proof of their vaccination against the virus only if they are coming from high-risk areas. The new move comes as Germany aims to crack down on the rise of delta variant infections.
