EU countries have agreed upon a coordinated approach to the restriction of free movement in response to the coronavirus pandemic. A color code system for the classifications of regions – green, orange, yellow and grey – based on the epidemiological situation there has been implemented. EU countries have also agreed on common criteria that they should apply when deciding whether to introduce travel restrictions, a common approach for travelers from ‘red areas’ (testing and self-quarantine), as well as on providing more clear and timely information to the public.
