Emmanuel Macron indicated, Thursday evening, during a video conference of the Twenty-Seven devoted to the coronavirus, that France would, from Sunday midnight, request a PCR test of less than 72 hours from travelers from the countries of the EU.
“He announced the introduction of an obligation to present a PCR test carried out 72 hours before departure for all European travelers (excluding so-called essential trips). Frontier workers and land transport will in particular be exempt from this obligation, ”
said the Elysee after the virtual meeting.
This decision is part of the recommendation adopted by the Council on October 13, intended to "
adopt more restrictive health measures while ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market"
