After the weekly update of the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Flanders and Wallonia again turned orange on the European map due to an increase in the number of infections. Brussels is still orange. This color change can have tangible consequences for those traveling in Europe.
Spain, the Netherlands, Cyprus and Luxembourg are completely red, and Portugal is also red. In Greece, more areas are turning orange, and the metropolitan area of Athens is turning red, just like Crete. Three French regions are also turning orange again, and the rest of the country will remain green for now. The holiday country of Italy will remain completely green for now.
A change of color can have tangible consequences for those traveling in Europe, but this depends entirely on the rules that the country itself applies. In addition, color codes announced on Thursday will only be valid from Monday. However, if an area is red-coded, only the color code and associated metrics will apply as of Wednesday.
For those who travel, more countries can require a recent entry test. So check carefully before leaving What is expected of you. For those who return, only the red color code is appropriate. If you return from a red zone, in any case you should be isolated and tested, unless you have a vaccination certificate or a recovery certificate. Children under 12 years of age should not be tested.
Color codes explained
Country colors Green color If there have been fewer than 75 infections per 100,000 residents in the past two weeks and the test positivity rate is less than 1%. If up to 4 percent of tests are positive, but if the infection is less than 50, the country also turns green.
