When returning from Greece, coronavirus testing will be required from Monday

On the contrary, Latvia will return to the orange zone with a medium level of risk after a week, when only long-term foreign workers have to submit a negative test for covid-19 when traveling to the Czech Republic.

Some areas, such as the Spanish Canary Islands or the Portuguese Azores and Madeira, will also move to orange.

Greens are in the traffic lights of countries that test well, with less than 25 new cases of covid-19 per 100,000 population in the last two weeks, and less than four percent of tests positive. Of the European countries, this only applies to the Vatican.

Countries with a medium risk of infection are above four percent and less than 250 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 population in the last two weeks.

When traveling to the Czech Republic from these countries, only long-term foreign workers must submit a negative test for covid-19, but not commuters. From Monday, Estonia, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Latvia and Ireland, the Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira will be included in this group.

Countries with a positive test rate of over four percent and more than 250 cases of coronavirus per 100,000 population in the last two weeks have a high risk of infection.

The “red” states are obliged to be tested on the way back to the Czech Republic, foreigners coming to the Czech Republic must also have tests. It is also necessary to fill in the form for the hygiene station. Exceptions are commuters or pupils and students when traveling regularly to a particular country.
