Self-isolation will continue even after returning from Norway, Hungary and San Marino – Society and Politics – News

In turn, self-isolation will no longer be required when traveling from Cyprus.

From now on, 14 days of self-isolation in Latvia will have to be observed when returning or traveling in transit through a total of 27 European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) countries, as well as through Monaco, Andorra and San Marino, or a total of 30 countries.

These 27 EU or EEA countries include Slovenia, Italy, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Germany, Romania, Spain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Malta, Sweden, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Portugal, Iceland, France, Poland, Croatia, Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, Ireland, Greece, as well as Norway and Hungary.

For countries outside the EU and the EEA or the United Kingdom, self-isolation will henceforth be required when traveling from Canada. Meanwhile, Australia, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay are no longer subject to the self-isolation requirement.

The Cabinet of Ministers agreed on Wednesday to allow air travel to countries where the average 14-day cumulative morbidity rate in the EU has been exceeded twice, while stipulating that 14-day self-isolation will be mandatory upon return from these countries.

According to data published by the European SPC, the average 14-day cumulative morbidity rate in the EU is currently 55, rounding the threshold for the ban on transport from Monday to 110 per 100,000 inhabitants.

According to the Civil Aviation Agency, bans on international passenger traffic to and from Malta and Luxembourg have been lifted, according to the SPKC. On Monday, September 7, the ban will take effect for passenger transport to and from Spain, Andorra and Monaco.

Latvia still has the lowest incidence of Covid-19 among the EU and EEA countries where Covid-19 patients are registered. In Lithuania, the incidence of Covid-19 remained almost the same during the week – 15.7 cases per 100,000 population, while in Estonia a faster increase in the incidence was observed during this period. It has now reached 15.95 cases in the neighboring country.

The highest incidence of Covid-19 is still in Spain, where it has only risen in a week, currently reaching 235.6 cases per 100,000 population. Elsewhere in Europe, too, most morbidity rates are rising.

Self-isolation must be observed for people from countries where the 14-day cumulative number of Covid-19 cases per 100,000 population exceeds 16. When calculating the number of cases per 100,000 population, it is possible to objectively compare the figures of different countries, despite differences in the total population, experts say. .
