To try to avoid a third wave of the corona pandemic, the Commission proposed that EU countries should advise against all non-essential travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new category for areas with extra high risk is being introduced, which will be given a dark red color in the EU's color scale, which previously went from green to yellow and red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The advice against non-essential travel is particularly strong from a dark red area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People coming from a dark red area in the EU should be tested for COVID-19 before traveling and quarantined upon arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People in border areas may be exempted from certain travel restrictions. If the epidemiological situation is the same on both sides of the border, no tests are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For travellers coming from non-EU countries, the Commission proposed mandatory testing before departure and quarantine upon arrival. EU countries should be particularly strict regarding travellers from countries with new virus variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201d"If it's not essential travel, the message is: Don't come!" said EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson at a press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should also be mandatory for passengers to fill out a form to be tracked upon entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Non-essential travel from outside the EU is prohibited for most countries. The selection is based on COVID-19 cases, spread of infection and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EU countries will have to decide on the Commission's proposal. Each EU country has the right to decide on restrictions on travel to and from its country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
