Brussels-Sana
Today, European Union foreign ministers approved common standards to coordinate travel restrictions within the bloc countries and end the various measures taken at the national level to combat the emerging corona virus, which is recording a disturbing spread in the European continent.
According to France 24, “the ministers agreed, during a meeting held in Luxembourg today, on a non-binding recommendation to set common standards for defining high-risk areas within the European Union. It is clear to travelers ”.
The agreement imposes on travelers coming from an orange, red, or gray area a quarantine or a health examination upon their arrival, as for those coming from a green area, they are not subject to any procedure.
According to the agreement, these areas are determined, taking into account the criteria in the number of new infections reported per 100,000 people in the last 14 days and the rate of positive checks. There is a fourth gray color expected for areas where there is insufficient information or when the number of tests that are performed is considered to be one hundred thousand Nesma is very weak.
The agreement stipulates the commitment of member states to provide the necessary epidemiological data at the regional level, not only at the national level, with the European Center for Disease Prevention and Prevention publishing every week a map of the situation in all European Union countries.
It is decided that the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control will issue a map based on these data, and it will be updated weekly, but each country will have a choice of how to use these data.
