Almost like before: Few rules when traveling at Easter

The 3-G rule and mandatory online registration via the EU Passenger Locator Digital Form apply when entering Italy. As of April 1, the 2-G requirement in hotels has been lifted, and proof of vaccination, recovery or testing is no longer required on local public transport or in stores. Neither the 2G nor 3G obligation applies to access to museums, archaeological parks, exhibitions, archives, libraries and other cultural sites.

From April 1st to April 30th, however, the 2-G requirement will continue to apply in cinemas, theaters and concerts. FFP2 masks are also required. In general, the mask requirement still applies indoors and outdoors when people gather. Additional easing is scheduled for May 1. Then the mask requirement in indoor areas could be abolished – more on this at tirol.ORF.at.

3-G from the age of twelve when entering Germany

To enter Germany, people aged 12 and over need a 3-G permit, including for German corner travel. In early April, most state CoV requirements were lifted in large parts of the country, and individual federal states are now responsible.

A Germany-wide mask requirement still applies to public transport, hospitals and care facilities. Regardless of government rules, companies, businesses and other institutions may also maintain stricter requirements.

No restrictions in Switzerland

There are no more restrictions to enter Switzerland. The latest national CoV measures were also lifted internally on April 1. However, different rules may apply in individual cantons.

Mask requirement indoors in Slovenia

There are no further requirements to enter Slovenia. CoV measurements were also widely surveyed in the country itself. The 3-G rule only applies to healthcare facilities and nursing homes. However, masks are still mandatory in public interiors and public transport. A CoV certificate is not required for restaurants, hotels, shopping malls or visits to institutions or cultural events.

There are practically no more rules in Hungary

Hungary lifted all special rules on March 7, including entry restrictions. Access to restaurants, hotels, leisure facilities and cultural events is possible without restrictions. Masks are also no longer mandatory on public transport. Only in the health and social care sector is the decision to use the mask again the decision-making authority of the respective institution.

Also Slovakia without 3-G

There are no restrictions on entry into Slovakia. 3G proof is also no longer required in the country, FFP2 masks remain mandatory on public transport, inside publicly accessible buildings and at mass outdoor events. In principle, an FFP2 mask should also be used outdoors if a distance of two meters from people outside the house cannot be guaranteed.

Entrance “as before” in the Czech Republic

There are no restrictions on entering the Czech Republic. Most restrictions have also been abolished in the country, and restaurants, hotels and shops can be visited without restrictions. Masks are mandatory only on public transport and in health facilities and nursing homes. However, Health Minister Vlastimil Valek also announced that the mask requirement on public transport will be abolished “from Easter”, and the decision on this is expected to be taken next week.

The respective entry regulations must be understood for entry from Austria. Some different rules apply when entering other countries or risk areas or variants.
