The 27 EU governments on Monday agreed to tighten border restrictions for travellers entering the bloc, including requiring proof of negative COVID-19 tests not more than 72 hours before departure.
This also applies to travellers who came to the bloc on journeys deemed essential, such as for urgent family or professional reasons.
Non-essential travel is already largely banned, although exceptions apply to EU citizens or their family members. It is recommended that if tests prior to departure are not possible, travellers should be allowed to do the test on arriving in the bloc.
However, The recommendation, which still has to be adopted in writing, is non-binding. It is up to the member states to come up with their own regulations.
