Скачать или смотреть New EU Travel Restrictions Country By Country As Covid 19 Rates Soar

As Covid-19 rates soar across the EU, countries are mostly united in deciding they need to restrict travel but they differ in the execution of rules. The outlook is changing on a weekly basis in regards to both getting into EU countries but also in how governments are controlling the movement of people inside. This country by country guide explains who is now allowed into each EU country and what they can do when they get there—some countries are under lockdown. The recommendation, based upon the European Centre for Disease Control’s ‘traffic light’ system (explained below) is that currently, only travelers arriving from Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay and China can enter the EU bloc. America, like every other country which is not on this list, remains banned at an EU level. It’s worth noting, however, that this isn’t legally binding and European countries can decide for themselves. Croatia, for instance, is allowing U. S. visitors to travel to the country providing they meet the screening requirements and possess a negative Covid-19 test. On 13 October, the EU adopted joint travel restrictions so that it would be easier to understand and regulate travel across member states during the Covid-19 pandemic. Crucially for the EU, these restrictions impinge upon the rights of Europeans to travel freely throughout the 27 member countries—a major step back for European regulation, which likes to protect free movement across the Schengen area (those countries which have signed up for free-movement of people across Europe). The idea is that there is a 'common map' across European countries that would provide an overview of the pandemic. This map considers three factors:Data is compiled and analyzed on behalf of all member countries by the European Center for Disease Control (ECDC). The Common Map works on a traffic light basis, where regions will be coloured ‘green’, ‘orange’, ‘red’ and ‘grey’ (if not enough information is available):This traffic light system is not enforceable by law and each member state must decide if they will implement it. Crucially though, whilst many countries are using the same numbers in order to work out if to restrict movement and how, the process has varied from country to country, both in the restriction of people coming into the country and of its residents–even amongst the U. K., for instance, each country has reacted differently:Cases are increasing, as elsewhere in Europe, but whilst residents were in lockdown in March and April, the government has firmly stated that it won’t put the country back into lockdown. Albania is currently open to all EU residents. Passengers arriving at airports are undergoing "body temperature measurements" and will be checked out by a doctor with a body temperature higher than 37.5°C.
