As the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic in France continues to worry health authorities, the French government announced this Thursday, March 11, 2021, a relaxation of entry and exit conditions for seven countries outside the European Union, including the UK, Israel and Japan. From Friday March 12, restrictions linked to the epidemic will be eased to and from these countries.

France decides toease health restrictions for travelers with seven countries. This Thursday, March 11, 2021, the French government has announced a relaxation of entry and exit requirements for certain countries outside theEuropean Union. From Friday March 12, health restrictions will be eased with the UK,Australia, South Korea, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and Singapore.

For several weeks now, the epidemic's markers have continued to worsen in France and around the world. So why has France decided to ease health restrictions at such a critical time? Quite simply because, in the eyes of the French health authorities, it is no longer necessary to halt the spread of the British variant in France, now that it has become the majority of new daily contaminations in Covid-19.

In concrete terms, the press release states that" travelersfrom or to Australia, South Korea, Japan, Israel, New Zealand and Singapore will no longer be required to demonstrate a compelling reason, due to the widespread distribution of the British variant in France and the specific health situation in these countries". The UK has announced that 20 million of its inhabitants have now received a dose of vaccine.

We would also like to remind you that since February 1, 2021, France has banned all entry to or exit from its territory to or from a country outside the European Union, except for compelling reasons. Moreover, any entry from a European Union country is also conditional on the presentation of a negative PCR test, with the exception of cross-border workers, as in the Meuse region.
