All travelers from China should exhibit negative test coronavirus up to 48 hours before their departure, is the strong recommendation reached by its member states The European Union.
So, in addition to the test, there is also a recommendation to use a mask when traveling, since the virus is on the rise in the Asian country.
It is noted that the decision of the 27 EU member states is coming after the meeting of the Crisis Response Mechanism in Brussels.
The situation in China
The reason for the EU’s decisions is both the outbreak of the virus in China and the management method chosen by Beijing, but also the fact that an increase in international travel is expected in the coming days, because the Chinese New Year is approaching.
In more detail, China may initially have claimed that it successfully dealt with the virus, but then followed a zero tolerance policywhich created dystopian images and caused huge reactions.
But then it withdrew the measures after social outcry and now applies almost no controls, resulting in deaths and cases are increasing rapidly daily.
