Germany is also introducing a mandatory corona test for travellers from China. Health Minister Karl Lauterbach announced this on Thursday.
Travellers from China will at least have to have a rapid antigen test before leaving for Germany, the SPD politician said.
Germany, like Belgium, therefore follows the recommendation of the European Union to introduce a mandatory corona test for travellers from China.
Previously, countries such as France, Italy and Spain had already decided only to allow travellers from China if they could present a negative corona test.
