EU countries are encouraged to impose travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic for citizens of six states, including the United States. About it сообщается on the website of the EU Council.
In addition to the United States, from the list of countries for whose residents the Council of the European Union considers it inappropriate entry restrictions, Israel, Kosovo, Lebanon, Montenegro and North Macedonia were excluded. This is due to the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in these territories.
Restrictions do not affect those vaccinated against coronavirus

Those entering Germany from such countries must spend from 5 to 10 days in quarantine, unless they provide a certificate of vaccination or a certificate of recovery. The White House also noted that the EU decision will not affect those vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.
