German bordersShort trips by Luxembourgish citizens to be allowed nationwide

RTL Today
After Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate both agreed to not demand negative test results from Luxembourgish travellers for short-duration trips, the rest of Germany might follow suit.

Luxembourg residents will be allowed to enter the Rhineland-Palatinate for 24 hours at a time, without the need for a negative Covid-19 test, from Saturday on.

Malu Dreyer, minister-president of Rhineland-Palatinate, recently conveyed in an interview on German television that the country might adapt the new regulations nationwide. This would mean that a trip shorter than 24 hours would no longer require a negative test result prior to departure. The rule would apply to everyone, not only cross-border employees.

Dreyer further emphasised that Germany's border regions would only be plagued with problems each time the situation altered, and explained that there was an urgent necessity for universal measures.
