FRANCE EASES ENTRY FOR VACCINATED INDIVIDUALS

Fully-vaccinated travelers from EU countries will be able to enter France without taking a COVID test from 9 June, in line with new rules published on Friday, according to Euronews report.

Fully vaccinated visitors from the United Kingdom and the United States will still be required to produce a negative test result. But they will no longer have to quarantine and non-essential travel will now be allowed.

Fully-vaccinated people are those who have received their doses at least 14 days prior to their journey, with the Pfizer, Moderna, or AstraZeneca vaccines. For the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the time-lag is four weeks.

France's Traffic Light System

The UK and the US are classed as orange under the traffic light travel system France is introducing. Non-vaccinated visitors will need to provide a vital reason for entry, a negative test, and they will have to quarantine for seven days.

Both vaccinated and non-vaccinated arrivals into France from orange countries will have to provide either a negative PCR test taken less than 72 hours before or an antigen test taken no more than 48 hours previously.

For Europeans, travel should be facilitated from 1 July by a health pass.
