In the below overview, modified or new parts are highlighted in colour.
The new German CoronaEinreiseVO’s rules for drivers of goods transports observing

into German territory:o Pre-registration:Noneo Duty to prove negative test result / vaccination / recovery from COVID-19 prior

o Duty to prove negative test result / vaccination / recovery from COVID-19 prior
to entry:
In all cases: Need for proof of a negative COVID-19 test (rapid tests: valid up to 24h, PCR tests: valid up to 72 h), acceptable in German, English,French, Italian or Spanish language, either in writing or digitally.

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination or proof of recovery will not besufficient in case of areas of variant of concern!
o Self-isolation:
In case of stays of more than 72 h: Mandatory self-isolation (noexemptions)Also, it has now been clarified that in case of changes in classification of risk areas, therelevant date for judging the necessary measures is the date of entry into German
territory. That’s to say, if a country has been re-classified in the RKI listings with entry into
force on a certain day, these changes will have immediate effect for drivers entering
Germany from this country as of this very day.
Example:Country A was classified “area of variant of concern” until 30.06., then is re-classified“high incidence are as of 01.07. According to the new definition in the regulation, adriver entering Germany on 01.07., after staying in country A during the 10 days prior
to entry, will have to observe “high incidence” rules, because it’s country A’s status at
the date of entry which is decisive now. According to the old wording, which is now
obsolete, the driver would have had to observe “area of variant of concern” rules up
to and including 10.07.
Finally, exemptions from pre-registration and self-isolation for persons that have
only transited a risk area have been extended to all three categories (”normal” risk area /high incidence area /area of variant of concern).
