The EU has removed six countries from its list of safe travel countries
Romania’s National Emergency Committee has updated the list of countries at increased risk of KOVID-19 that require quarantine on arrival in Romania, Agence France-Presse reported.
According to the new list, Bulgaria, Norway, Lithuania, Slovenia and others are in the “red zone”.
Those arriving from the “red zone” countries are subject to a 14-day quarantine, with the exception of those vaccinated or who have received KOVID-19 within 180 days.
Unlike the countries in the “yellow zone”, in those of the “red” the negative test does not exempt from the quarantine requirement, notes Digi TV24.
Children under 6 years of age (without conditions) and children between 6 and 16 years of age are exempted from quarantine if they have a negative AKP test. No quarantine is required for transit passengers who will remain on the territory of Romania for up to 72 hours.
The updated list takes effect from 00.00 on 12 September.
The EU has removed 6 countries from its list of safe travel countries for coronavirus
The EU has removed Japan and five other countries from its list of safe travel destinations for coronavirus. This means that passengers from these countries will be subjected to strict restrictions, such as tests for coronavirus or quarantine, world agencies reported.
Apart from Japan and Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Brunei and Serbia are excluded from the list. Uruguay has been added to the list.
With these changes, the EU list now includes only 12 countries. These are Moldova, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Jordan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, South Korea and Uruguay.
The EU decision is non-binding and gives individual Member States the freedom to determine their own border policies in relation to the coronavirus pandemic. Germany, for example, added Albania, Serbia, Azerbaijan and Japan to its list of high-risk countries on Sunday, with stricter restrictions coming.
