The German Robert Koch Institute does not currently have a state as a so-called virus variant area. Brazil and Uruguay have been downgraded. At the same time, some countries were declared as so-called high-risk areas. This classification is below the virus variant area.

According to the RKI, the following states and regions are now high-risk areas: Brazil, Dominica, Greece (only Crete and southern Aegean), Ireland (only Border and West regions), Kosovo and North Macedonia. Removed from the list: Andorra, Spain (the autonomous communities of Asturias, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, Valencia and the Canary Islands).

The situation in Austria is partly completely different

Austria currently classifies the following countries as so-called virus variant areas: Brazil, Eswatini, Lesotho. Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Uruguay. The following countries are shown on the "green list" (Annex 1 of the Entry Ordinance) as "with a low epidemiological risk":

  • Albania
  • Andorra
  • Armenia
  • Azerbaijan
  • Australia
  • Belgium
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Brunei
  • Bulgaria
  • Denmark
  • Germany
  • Estonia
  • Finland
  • France
  • Principality of Liechtenstein
  • Greece
  • Hong Kong
  • Ireland
  • Iceland
  • Israel
  • Italy
  • Japan
  • Jordan
  • Canada
  • Qatar
  • Kosovo
  • Croatia
  • Latvia
  • Lithuania
  • Luxembourg
  • Macau
  • Malta
  • Moldavia
  • Monaco
  • Montenegro
  • New Zealand
  • Netherlands
  • Northern Macedonia
  • Norway
  • Poland
  • Portugal
  • Romania
  • San Marino
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Sweden
  • Serbia
  • Singapore,
  • Slovakia
  • Slovenia
  • Spain
  • Switzerland
  • South Korea
  • Taiwan
  • Thailand
  • Czech Republic
  • Hungary
  • Vatican
  • United States of America
  • Vietnam
  • Cyprus

The direct comparison of the classifications in Austria and Germany shows that one proceeds differently. For example, the Federal Republic of Germany identifies states as high-risk areas, but the Alpine Republic considers them to be areas with low risk.
