Nov 16, 2020 at 16:35 comment added Tor-Einar Jarnbjo This is completely irrelevant for the question and for this discussion, but the form you are now linking to has never been used during the corona situation. For passengers arriving by air, there was a different corona-specific form in use, but now registration has to be done online. The paper forms are not used anymore. What triggers the quarantine requirements is also the actual act of crossing a state border and not the filling out of the form. Arriving e.g. by car, you were until about a week ago not required to report anything at all, but of course still subject to quarantine if applicable
Nov 16, 2020 at 15:40 comment added Mark Johnson @Tor-EinarJarnbjo The date of arrivel is based on (Field 4 Ankunftsdatum (date of arrival) of the Aussteigekarte, Anlage 1 (zu § 12 Absatz 1, Gesetz zur Durchführung der Internationalen Gesundheitsvorschriften (2005)) for the state Ordinances (Rechtsverordnungen).

Nov 16, 2020 at 14:29 comment added Tor-Einar Jarnbjo Landing at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport does in this case not trigger a quarantine requirement even if OP is coming from a risk are abroad, since the purpose of entering the State of Brandenburg is transit and OP is leaving the state on a direct route (Brandenburg regulation SARS-CoV-2-QuarV, § 2). He is therefore not subject to quarantine until he crosses the Brandenburg/Berlin state border.
Nov 16, 2020 at 14:23 comment added Tor-Einar Jarnbjo Quarantine regulations are state law and may differ from the federal recommendations. Both the text you have quoted from the information page (but again obviously not even nearly understood) and the regulation in effect in Berlin, clearly state that entering the State of Berlin triggers the quarantine period. The difference is at least relevant if you enter Germany on one date and for example don't reach Berlin until the next day, or also in this case, if you think (also without legal reasoning) believe that the exact time is relevant.
Nov 16, 2020 at 13:53 comment added Mark Johnson @Tor-EinarJarnbjo As you can see from the text from the Federal Ministry of Health that the term entry from abroad does not mean entering from another state inside the country as you believe.

Nov 16, 2020 at 13:27 comment added Mark Johnson Regulations for persons entering Germany in connection with coronavirus SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19: If you are entering the Federal Republic of Germany by land,sea or air and have spent time in a risk area within the 10 days prior to entry, you are required – bar the exceptions listed below –to proceed directly to your own home, or other suitable accommodation, immediately after arrival and remain there exclusively for a period of 10 days after entry into the country (quarantine).
Nov 16, 2020 at 13:06 comment added Tor-Einar Jarnbjo I did not despute the quarantine requirement. I was just pointing out that the quarantine period starts when entering the state of Berlin and not when entering Germany. That is even clearly and obviously stated in the sections you are quoting.
Nov 16, 2020 at 13:02 comment added Mark Johnson @Tor-EinarJarnbo Read the heading: Entry from abroad. Also § 8: this also applies to persons who first entered another state in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Nov 16, 2020 at 12:51 comment added Tor-Einar Jarnbjo This is simply wrong. The quarantine period starts when entering the state of Berlin and not when the plane stops at the airport gate in Germany. It is also an important part of the question if the quarantine requirement is for the following 10 days of for exactly 240 hours after the 'triggering' event. That is not considered at all in your answer.
