Greece and Netherlands Lifting restrictions on travel to Japan, etc.July 2, 4:42
On the 1st, Greece and the Netherlands, which are members of the EU = European Union, lifted travel restrictions on Japan and other countries. However, it seems that it will still take some time to resume full-fledged traffic, as Japan still recommends stopping travel to Europe.
On the 30th, the EU released a list of 14 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Canada, to remove travel restrictions.
In response, Greece and the Netherlands resumed accepting travelers from these countries on the 1st.
France and Spain have also announced their policy of lifting restrictions.
Among them, in Greece, air services connecting with countries outside the EU have been almost suspended, but on the 1st, the operation of the airport was resumed at major tourist destinations such as Corfu Island in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Greek government says that it may carry out PCR tests for travelers at airports.
Also in France, the number of empty flights connecting countries outside the EU is limited, and a man who runs a souvenir shop near the Eiffel Tower, one of the landmark tourist attractions in Paris, said, " I want you to come. I don't know what to do if I don't come back."
On the other hand, Germany says that the restrictions on travel to Japan and South Korea will continue for the time being, as the entry of Germans is restricted.
In response to these movements, Japan, New Zealand, and other countries still recommend that the government stop traveling to Europe, and it seems that it will take some time before full-scale resumption of traffic.
