(Bloomberg) European Union negotiators agreed on the introduction of mutually recognizable certificates that will allow quarantine-free travel within the bloc, offering the regionâs battered tourist industry a chance to salvage the summer season.
The EUâs Covid-19 certificates, which will be issued free of charge in digital or paper format, will offer proof their holders have been inoculated against the coronavirus, have recovered from the illness or have a recent negative test. All EU member states will accept visitors who hold the passes, without asking them to quarantine.
Gaining Momentum
While Europeâs vaccine effort has lagged behind the U.S. and the U.K., itâs starting to hit its stride, giving officials confidence even as they wrestle with how to prevent a highly transmissible Indian variant from derailing their recoveries.
The new rules will replace a blanket ban on non-essential travel from most countries outside the EU. Some member states, such as Greece, already permit tourists to visit without quarantine requirements if they have been inoculated.
Whoâs allowed into EU without quarantine:
EU residents with certificate proving vaccination, immunity through recovery or negative Covid-19 test
