Berlin lifts almost all Covid rules: What you need to know

Religious events, gyms, hairdressers and similar services also don't need to have Covid restrictions in place.

People in Berlin will still need to buy a ticket ahead of time for a certain time slot to go swimming but the 3G Covid entry rule is no longer in place.

A number of Berlin cultural institutions, among others, have already said they will stick to the mask requirement.

Berlin says that the previous rules for isolating after a positive Covid test also still apply.

At least two states - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Hamburg - have declared themselves a Covid hotspot and the tougher rules will continue.

Covid tests are still mandatory three times a week in Berlin's schools for now.

In neighbouring Brandenburg, most Covid rules will be dropped as of Sunday, April 3rd. In addition to the mask requirement in schools, the mask requirement in retail outlets and 3G in restaurants, theatres and cinemas and 2G in clubs will be dropped.

Denmark Lifts Last of COVID Entry Restrictions

Earlier this week, Denmark lifted the last of its COVID-19-related travel restrictions.

Entry restrictions have been continuously relaxed and since March 29, the last restrictions have been removed removed.

Since March 1, the only remaining COVID-19 entry restriction has been a requirement for testing within 24 hours of entry into Denmark for persons who have not been vaccinated with a recognized vaccine or previously infected and who enter from countries outside the European Union and Schengen Area.

As a result, there are no longer COVID-19 restrictions on entry into Denmark.

According to the Ministry of Health of Denmark, the infection situation in both Denmark and abroad is still closely monitored, including in relation to new, worrying virus variants.

As part of this preparedness, a so-called "Emergency brake" can be activated if worrying virus variants arise.

Danish Health Minister Magnus Heunicke said in a statement, "Since May 2021, the Coronapas app has been a crucial tool that has helped to reduce the risk of infection in assemblies and situations where it could otherwise be large. The Corona Passport has been the prerequisite for us to be able to keep society as open as possible. The fact that we can now close the Danish part of the Coronapas app is a gift to everyone who has used it, and to the partners in business and culture who have helped to develop and refine the tool." Denmark is averaging 75 cases per day per 100,000 people, a decrease of 55 percent over the last 14 days, according to The New York Times.
