Covid-19 European Travel and Containment Information Sheet
30.03.2020

Overall take: We are seeing almost every European country prolonging state of emergency and the
countries that have not implemented it yet are follow hour by hour. Travel in Europe is very restricted.

Attention: The EU Commission has enacted temporary restrictions on non-essential external travel to the
European Union for an initial 30 days. Citizens, long term residents, family members of EU nationals,
diplomats, healthcare workers, and transportation workers are exempt. These restrictions apply to all
Schengen Area participant countries. Implementation depends on individual member countries. This
policy applies to external EU borders only and internal EU border controls between member states are
not affected. Some EU countries have implemented their own internal border restrictions.

Europe. This is a work in progress and efforts are being made to improve the collection and centralization
of relevant inputs. Data collection was performed manually, and sources include national foreign ministries,
