Germany has decided to lift coronavirus related travel ban on people arriving from the United Kingdom (UK) and four other variant-hit countries.
The restrictions, which also applied to visitors from Portugal, Russia, Nepal and India, will be relaxed from Wednesday.
Following the move, people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 will also not be required to quarantine.
Those who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 will have to quarantine for 10 days but will have the option to their quarantine early with a negative test on the fifth day.
The five countries have until now been classified as "virus variant areas" because of the spread of the new Delta and Delta Plus variants, which were first discovered in India.
Although German citizens and residents were exempted from the ban, they were required to quarantine for 14 days when they arrived in the country.
The move has come following announcement by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson that the country is expecting to lift all Covid-related rules from July 19.
