EU officially launches digital travel certificates
Starting from July 1st, the EU has officially launched its digital travel certificate. This will allow all EU residents to travel across the bloc without any quarantine. This was designed as an initiative to help boost travel over the summer. The certificate will allow Europeans who have proof of vaccination, a negative Covid-19 test, or proof of recovery from the virus, to travel to other member states. This is an app-based certificate that gives travelers a QR code to allow them to avoid quarantine in other member states.
Europeans still barred from visiting the United States
While Europe has largely lifted restrictions on vaccinated American tourists, most Europeans are still barred from visiting the United States even if they have been vaccinated against coronavirus. So KLM, one of the world’s largest airline companies, has urged the U.S government to ease travel restrictions because the trans-Atlantic is the most important long-haul market.
Portugal imposes night-time curfews
Portugal has imposed nighttime curfews in several municipalities. The 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew will also be imposed in its capital Lisbon and the city of Porto, as authorities scramble to bring under control a surge in COVID-19 infections.
