Derek Uzzell Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The Schengen/COVID-19 position is summarised here https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/security/20200506STO78514/reopening-schengen-borders-after-covid-19-what-can-eu-do The webpage includes the statement EU interior ministers confirmed on 5 June that most member states will have lifted the controls at their internal borders and the related travel restrictions by 15 June, with others due to follow by the end of the month. Ministers agreed to continue to coordinate closely under the lead of the Commission. So 15 June is not a mandatory border-control relaxation date for EVERY member of the Schengen zone.

weldted Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The general rule: Voluntary quarantine (obligatory in case of symptoms) All people at risk of being infected, who arrive on French soil, are invited to quarantine themselves voluntarily for two weeks. Quarantine means staying inside and self-isolating for 14 days. This means not leaving the house for any reason, including to shop, unless in a health emergency. People must avoid contact with others as much as possible, even within the same household, and ask friends or neighbours to deliver food and other essentials without contact. This concerns "persons who have stayed, during the previous month, in an area where the infection is circulating, and who enter the country or who arrive in Corsica or one of the [French] overseas territories”. At the time of writing, all countries are being considered “virus zones” where the virus is circulating, as stated in a health ministry decree from May 22.

I think you'd need an Aire with aview to cope with 14 days inside the MH as the start of your holiday! (And the same again when you cross another border?)

stevejelf Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 NewsInfo Borders reopen in Europe ... a little, a lot, or not at all AFP source ,Updated on 06/15/20 11:39 Share on Facebook Twitter E-mail Borders reopen in Europe ... a little, a lot, or not at allAfter three months of isolation within their national borders, Europeans find on Monday the possibility of traveling more easily from one country to another, due to the decline of the pandemic of new coronavirus. But be careful before packing your bags: the return to free movement inside the Old Continent was done in dispersed order and the map of Europe presents a mosaic of green, orange and red lights, depending on the origin or the destination. - They are already accessible - Italy had given the signal on June 3 by reopening to all travelers ... even though most states maintained restrictions with this country which was one of the hotbeds of the pandemic in Europe. Another country in a hurry to save its tourist season, Croatia also anticipated the call and reopened its borders on Thursday, just like Poland, accessible for all European citizens since Saturday. AFP Going on vacation after confinement © AFP - Source AFP Many countries have chosen the "onion strategy", opening up in recent weeks to their neighbors first, before expanding the scope. Thus, it is already possible to circulate without control in central Europe or from one Baltic country to another. On a continent where each country had barricaded itself since mid-March, two states were an exception: Sweden remained in principle accessible to EU travelers, as did Luxembourg. Frontier workers essential to the economy have benefited from passes to go back and forth with the Grand Duchy. - They reopen on Monday - Belgium, France and Greece re-establish free movement on Monday morning with all the countries of the continent. Athens, whose economy is largely based on tourism, goes even further and invites travelers from several regions outside the EU - such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, China. To Germany and Austria, the arrival controls by road, rail or air will be lifted at midnight Monday. Among the countries to reopen their border, or having already done so, many of them (Hungary, Bulgaria, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia ...) however maintain restrictions for travelers from European destinations where the infection rate is still considered too high. Ritzau Scanpix The border between Germany and Denmark, near the city of Krusa in Denmark, June 15, 2020 © Ritzau Scanpix - Claus Fisker Norway will open its borders to all the Nordic countries on Monday by imposing conditions that exclude at this stage almost all of Sweden, where the epidemic of new coronavirus remains lively. Each country has composed its more or less long list of risk areas. Sweden and Great Britain are invariably included. Spain and Portugal are often added to this. Sometimes the Netherlands, Belgium, France. The lists are revised regularly. Either travel to or from these destinations is prohibited, or a negative Covid-19 screening test or 14-day isolation is required. France warns that it will apply "reciprocity" to countries imposing restrictions on its nationals. - They're still chilly - Romania will not reopen its borders on Monday for non-nationals and does not give a specific date. Initially set for July 1, the date of reopening of Spain to tourists was finally advanced to June 21, except at the land border with Portugal where controls will continue until July 1. By "reciprocity", France plans to continue in the immediate future its controls at the border with Spain. As part of a pilot project, the Balearics will however welcome nearly 11,000 Germans from June 15. NEWSLETTER News See an example Enter your e-mail Norway will reopen its borders on Monday only to the other Nordic countries, with the exception of Sweden. Denmark is just as selective, limiting at this stage its reception to people coming from Germany, Norway or Iceland https://www.linternaute.com/actualite/depeches/2498647-les-frontieres-rouvrent-en-europe-un-peu-beaucoup-ou-pas-du-tout/ PS Britain, which left the EU in January but remains closely aligned with the bloc until the end of this year, only last week imposed a 14-day quarantine requirement for most arrivals, horrifying its tourism and aviation industries. As a result, France is asking people coming from Britain to self-quarantine for two weeks and several other nations are not even letting British tourists come in during the first wave of reopening *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weldted Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 People try to be helpful but someone always has to be exact. I read the Connection today read this article so copied and posted it to try and assist others. Didn’t realise it was a school day. It is still the current advice or rule whichever way you want to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
