The German Government strongly recommends the use of face masks in public. Masks are mandatory in shops and on public transport. If you’re in Germany and choose to return home, we recommend you do so as soon as possible while commercial options are available. Check your route carefully with your airline or travel agent as a number of key transit hubs, including the UAE, Hong Kong and Singapore are suspending flights, including transits. If you can’t or don’t want to leave, follow the advice of local authorities and minimise your risk of exposure to COVID-19. Stay in touch with family and friends so they know you’re safe and well. If you need urgent consular assistance call +61 2 6261 3305. Follow the Australian Embassy in Berlin’s social media for updates on flight availability. See ‘Local contacts’ for links.
We advise you:
Do not travel to Germany.
