The EU Commission has advised EU countries against introducing additional travel restrictions for vaccinated, convalescent or newly tested people.

Anyone with a valid EU coronavirus certificate should in principle not be subjected to any additional restrictions such as tests or quarantine, regardless of their place of departure in the European Union. This evidence should be valid for nine months from the complete vaccination before a booster vaccination is necessary, according to the ORF. To this end, the Commission hopes for uniform rules within the EU. Meanwhile, the infection rate is increasing rapidly in the member states. Especially at the beginning of the pandemic in Europe there were many different rules with traffic jams that could be kilometers long due to border closings and the corresponding negative economic effects.
