All information on the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)

In Hesse, all remaining coronavirus measures ended at the end of April 7, 2023.

Visitors to hospitals and care homes and patients in doctors' surgeries are not required to wear masks. Individual facilities can continue to use their domiciliary rights to impose regulations on the obligation to wear masks.

There are currently no tests, quarantine obligations or proof required for entry into Germany (as of 01.08.2023).

No country is currently classified as a virus variant area. Therefore, there are no quarantine obligations when entering Germany.
This may change at short notice; you can find out about travel and safety advice for all countries on the website of the Federal Foreign Office. If a country is classified as a virus variant area, stricter rules apply.

After a positive test result for an infection with the coronavirus, citizens no longer have to isolate themselves. There is no obligation to test.

However, people with symptoms of coronavirus infection are strongly advised to stay at home for 3 to 5 days until their symptoms improve significantly and to avoid contact and visits.

The Standing Committee on Vaccination recommends that people over the age of 18 and pregnant women without an underlying illness have basic immunity to protect against severe cases of COVID-19. It is important for basic immunity that the immune system has three contacts with components of the pathogen (vaccination) or the pathogen itself (infection). At least one of these contacts should be through the vaccination.
An annual booster vaccination is recommended for particularly vulnerable groups of people.

Vaccination offers are available from general practitioners and in some cases also from pharmacies.
It should be clarified in advance whether the doctor treating you offers a coronavirus vaccination; some practices do not vaccinate against coronavirus.
