What does the new proposal mean for travellers to the EU?
Under the new change, travellers who have received their last dose of the vaccine 14 days prior to their arrival will be approved for non-essential travel. A “Digital Green Certificate” issued to vaccinated travellers will be used as proof of vaccination. However, a low local infection rate is also part of the criteria. The EU will still bar tourists from countries like the United States which sees a daily average infection rate of almost 50,000 cases.
Apart from the above changes, the European Commission’s proposal also includes the addition of a safety measure: the “emergency brake”. The “emergency brake” allows member states to immediately defer travel from a non-EU country if the COVID-19 situation were to deteriorate.
