"In France, we added tests in December with the Omicron wave. We will announce in the coming days the lifting of tests for vaccinated people," he said on the France 2 channel.
For the time being, any traveler entering French territory from a country outside the European area - including the United Kingdom - must present a negative PCR or antigen test within 48 hours, recalls the French Ministry of Health. Foreign Affairs on its website.
"There will undoubtedly be a new European practice this week so that vaccinated people who come from outside the European Union to the European Union will have lightened measures," added Clément Beaune.
The Twenty-Seven already agreed on January 25 to better coordinate the rules applicable to travel within the EU and to avoid imposing restrictions on holders of a European health certificate.
Several countries, including Italy or Denmark require travelers, even vaccinated against Covid-19, to present negative tests to enter their territory.
