When travelling to Austria, do I need to prove that I haven't been in High-Risk Areas in the last 10 days and if yes – how?

Just checked this with the Austrian border policy section.
In case of doubt, you may be asked for proof of residence in Germany (not because residence in Germany is required, but to support your claim that you haven’t been to a high-risk country).
This can be a Meldebescheinigung (if having lived in Germany for less than 5 years) or a Bescheinigung des Daueraufenthalts (if having lived in Germany for 5 years or more)

I’ve traveled by car from Italy to Austria recently and here’s how their border control looks like:
- You roll up to the border officer
- They ask you where you’ve been and whether you have any COVID symptoms
- If you haven’t been to any high risk countries they let you in, zero documentation required
Quite frankly I’m not sure how you would even be able to produce such documentation given that EU citizens don’t get stamped at the border. So it’s effectively an honor system.
