The European Commission recently adopted a proposal to ensure that Covid-19 measures taken by the 27-member states that restrict free movement are coordinated and communicated.<\/p>\n
The European Commission’s proposal<\/a> sets out four key areas where member states should work together.<\/p>\n First, common criteria and thresholds for member countries when deciding whether to introduce travel restrictions should be established. Second, there should be a mapping of common criteria using an agreed color code. Third, a common framework for measures applied to travelers from high-risk areas and lastly, for clear and timely information to the public about any restrictions.<\/p>\n Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Stella Kyriakides said:<\/p>\n \u201cToday we propose to our Member States a well-coordinated, predictable, and transparent approach to travel restrictions where these are needed, always placing the protection of public health first. We must avoid further disruption of already fragile economies and additional uncertainty for citizens who have made huge sacrifices. They expect this from us after so many months living with COVID-19.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
