After January 23, the Dutch airline KLM will only allow passengers who have been confirmed boarding with a PCR test of no more than 72 hours, but even that is not enough, until the antigen test at the airport until 4 hours before departure. This must be done and if this is also negative, the traveler can only travel to Amsterdam or move to the destination. The airline will not operate from January 23 to Amsterdam and to the United Kingdom, South Africa and South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Suriname, Panama, Guyana and French Guiana).
Fearing that the coronavirus is more contagious than before, France will only allow those coming from EU member states by sea or air to enter its territory, subject to a negative PCR test that does not exceed 72 hours. The measure, which went into effect on Sunday midnight, applies so far only to those outside the European Union.
At the Roissy and Orly stations, border guards are checking a PCR test for all arrivals as well as their identity documents. For those without such certification, Red Cross staff will perform a rapid antigen test on site, the results of which will be available within a quarter of an hour.
They are also stressing in Dubai. Dubai authorities will introduce several new security measures starting January 27 to protect residents and tourists from the Coronavirus. Tables for Dubai restaurants will be placed three meters away, increasing the previous two meters. Additionally, the number of people sitting at one table was limited to seven, compared to the previous ten. The café can only accommodate four people per table. Here, too, the distance between streams is increased to three meters. Local fitness centers and gyms should also be within 3 meters. The Dubai Tourism Bureau has temporarily suspended nightclubs. Entertainment on board ships or in floating restaurants is not permitted “until further notice”.
Poland: Quarantine can be avoided with a negative PCR test. Previous regulations were amended, whereby a quarantine was imposed on those entering by public transport for a period of ten days. In Poland, according to the latest amended regulations, there is no quarantine procedure in place if a person entering an organized manner (by plane, train or bus) shows a negative PCR coronavirus test within 48 hours before entry. Citizens of the European Union are free to enter the territory of Poland, but in light of the restrictions announced on December 17 and extended on January 11, previous rules required people entering the country in an orderly manner between December 28 and January 31 to undergo a 10-day quarantine. Retreat, this regulation has been softened by the new ruling.
Belgium bans non-essential travel. In Belgium, in order to curb the spread of the Coronavirus epidemic and viral mutations, travel not intended for essential purposes will be banned until March 1. Under these measures, from 27 January, only those entering and leaving Belgium will be permitted to cross the border for good reasons, such as family responsibilities or studies.
Like the first wave of lockdowns, enforcement of the rules varies widely from country to country, with Germany requiring residents only to stay at home, while Spain and France are subject to stricter police checks. Cyprus and Greece chose a more creative solution: the pace of shopping was greatly restricted by codes that could be requested via SMS.
Scandinavian countries have yet to impose significant restrictions. Norway, for example, continues to allow indoor gatherings of up to 200 people, but only if distance measures are observed and chairs are installed on the floor for added safety. (Szl, MTI, tourismAnd the Airportal.hu)
