As of today Thursday 17 June, the travel advice of some European countries or areas will go from orange (only necessary trips) to yellow (note, safety risks). These are Cyprus, Croatia (with the exception of the Sjeverna Hrvatska region), Liechtenstein, the South Aegean Islands (in Greece) and Switzerland. In addition, the travel advice for Iceland, Poland and Romania changes from yellow to green. The adjustment of the travel advice to 'yellow' means that holiday trips are no longer recommended. Travelers no longer have to show a negative test on their return to the Netherlands and do not have to be quarantined. But beware, some countries that are on yellow or green impose entry restrictions. So look for the entire travel advice on the netherlands world wide website.
Travel remains a risk
The corona figures are falling in many European countries, making holiday trips to a number of countries possible again. The situation in a country can change quickly, as was previously the case in the South Aegean Islands. The figures there gave reason to change the travel advice from 'yellow' to 'orange' again on 30 May. Meanwhile, the situation on the South Aegean islands has improved, making holiday travel possible again. It remains important that travelers prepare well and that they also remain informed of developments during their stay and upon return.
Young people back from vacation
In recent days, RIVM has seen an increase in the number of travelers returning with a corona infection from countries with a yellow travel advice, such as Portugal and some Spanish islands. This mainly concerns groups of young people. That is why RIVM calls on everyone between the ages of 17 and 24 who has been to Portugal or the Spanish islands to take a precautionary test at the GGD after returning home, even if they have no complaints, according to the RIVM.
