CONTEXT:

The list of safe countries increased significantly in the summer of 2021, but then began to decline again as morbidity rates increased in many parts of Europe due to the Covid-19 delta variant. According to the common European decision, the “green” list threshold in Latvia has also been increased from 50 to 75 diseases cases per 100 000 population. On the other hand, if a person who returns to Latvia is subject to the requirement to observe self-isolation, it may be terminated after seven days, by retesting Covid-19 and finding it negative.
