Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries across the WHO European Region have imposed international travel restrictions. These have included entry bans, testing and quarantine measures which fluctuate weekly or biweekly based on a set of
risk-assessment criteria such as the status of the epidemiological situations in countries of departure and arrival and the emergence of variants of concern. How have travel policies affected the free movement of people across borders? How have they
changed in response to the vaccination rollout? What are the international recommendations for implementing travel restrictions? Join us in this webinar to find out!
