The list of countries from which there is no ban on entry into the EU due to the coronavirus pandemic has shrunk to eleven. The EU only recommends lifting travel restrictions for Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.
For China, the recommendation to abolish the EU entry ban also applies, but Beijing would first have to lift its existing entry ban for Europeans. The 27 EU countries agreed on the update of the list, as the EU Council announced in Brussels today.
This extends the entry restrictions introduced at the beginning of the pandemic due to the high number of infections to Algeria. Serbia and Montenegro were removed from the list in the middle of the month. The EU has slowly eased the entry ban since the beginning of July. Initially, entry from 14 countries was allowed again.
