I got back from the UK on Sunday and have been staying at home since then. I'm not required to quarantine because I've been vaccinated, I just want to be on the safe side.

And my app also showed up with a red warning of an increased risk due to an encounter last Friday. Interesting because I was in the UK for most of the day where people don't have the German app, and I had Bluetooth switched off before take off on the plane. (I hope it wasn't the maskless arsehole next to me who tested positive!)

Might go for a walk after work today if it's not raining. Then tomorrow do a test before going to the store. I have a slight sore throat and foggy head, but I have that all the time so I'm not worried I might have covid.

Getting into the UK was lot easier than expected. They only checked my passenger locator form and vaccination certificate when I checked in my luggage, no checks at all upon entering the UK. A lot of people probably wouldn't even have check in luggage for a weekend away so they just breezed through.

On the way back, the airline didn't check anything at all. (Corona wise I mean. Obviously they did check boarding passes and passports )
Back in November when I traveled by train, the train company wouldn't even let people enter the terminal without showing them all the documents.

Getting back into Germany was more of a pain. The automatic passport gates were closed so everyone was being checked manually. One by one. Stood in line for ages. And they almost gave me a heart attack when the first sign I came across said ALL passengers from a high risk area MUST provide a negative test result. "What, how, I triple checked I didn't need a test? Oh god are they not going to let me in, am I going to be that idiot who didn't follow the rules?!" I was seriously starting to panic until I saw the smaller sign at the front "please keep your test result or vaccination certificate ready."
