PARIS, July 17 — France said today it would require people not fully vaccinated and arriving from some European countries to show a negative Covid test taken within the previous 24 hours.
Arrivals from Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, the Netherlands and Greece have had to show tests taken within 72 hours. France will consider people fully vaccinated one week after they received they second dose of Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna and AstraZeneca, instead of 14 days previously, and 28 days after their Johnson & Johnson jab, Castex said.
Travel from red-list countries is only allowed on pressing grounds and even then vaccinated travellers must self-isolate for seven days. The new measures come as several European nations battle rising caseloads, blamed in part on the highly-transmissible Delta variant which has taken hold on the continent.
Around 35.5 million people — just over half of France’s population — have received at least one vaccine dose so far.
