The EU = European Union has changed some of the current measures that basically prohibit travel from outside the region as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, and has joined to allow vaccinated people to travel for unnecessary and urgent purposes such as tourism. Proposed to each country.

As a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, EU countries basically prohibit travel from outside the EU to within the region for unnecessary and urgent purposes such as tourism.



On the 3rd, the European Commission, the EU's executive body, proposed to change some of the measures and to allow member countries to travel to the region if they were vaccinated with EU-approved vaccines.



In addition, even if you are not vaccinated, you are currently allowed to travel from countries where the number of newly infected people per 100,000 is 25 or less, but this standard can be relaxed to 100 or less per 100,000. I am proposing.



Currently, only seven countries, including Australia and South Korea, are allowed to travel within the region.



EU Chairman Von der Leyen said on Twitter, "It's time to revive tourism and cross-border friendships," saying he wants to be ready to accept tourists ahead of the summer vacation season.



The EU is aiming to introduce it from next month with the approval of member states within this month.
