The European Union after the opening of the external borders considering the possibility of a temporary refusal of entry for residents of the USA, Brazil and Russia because of the unfavorable situation with the pandemic coronavirus.

According to The New York Times, the leadership of the European Union there are two lists of “potential countries”, which can allow entry to EU countries. One of them included 47 countries, where the rate of infection is lower than the EU average, in the second there are 54 countries where the score was worse, but not more than 20. In both lists there are, for example, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Uruguay, and Uganda.

Lists compiled on the basis of the data about the cases COVID-19 in the last 14 days per 100 thousand people. In the EU, according to the newspaper, this figure is an average of 16 cases in Russia – 80, US – 107, and in Brazil – 190.

“President trump and his Brazilian and Russian counterparts, Vladimir Putin and Hair Bolsonaro, from the beginning, contemptuous of the crisis, slow to respond to scientific advice and as a result, faced with a sharp increase in the number of new cases, while other parts of the world, especially Europe and Asia, gradually managed to put the infection under control,” – says the publication.

The ban on the entry of the United States has also been associated with political reasons. In March this year, Donald trump has imposed a ban on entry into the United States from the European Union, and still have not removed it, although the spread of the epidemic in the European countries managed to put under control.

According to sources, The New York Times, the lists have not yet been approved, it may happen early next week. After approval of the documents provided by the institutions of the European Union as recommendations to the authorities and will be revised every fortnight to reflect changes in the situation with the spread of the virus. It is possible that the diplomats of the EU member States can check the data on the spread of infection that come from authorities in different countries.

Recall that the external borders of the European Union will gradually open from 1 July. Earlier it was reported that the EU decided to act in a coordinated manner, developing a common list of countries which will enter the state with a stable epidemiological situation. The list can include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Northern Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro. At this statement, the European Commission notes that if a citizen came from relatively safe countries, but is “a danger to the health of the population,” the country may be closed. Similarly, if the epidemiological situation in a third country is deteriorating, it can be re-introduced restrictions.

As reminds the edition, some EU countries are desperately trying to open its borders to visitors from abroad, to save the tourism sector and increase the revenues of the airlines. On the other hand, some European countries, including Denmark, are not ready to receive visitors from countries outside the EU, and is likely to continue this policy after July 1.

In may this year the European Commission has developed a guide that allows you to resume tourism in the coming months so that people could stay in hotels, eat in restaurants or to visit the beaches without putting themselves at risk of Contracting coronavirus. Then it became known that the European Commission plans to urge the EU to the target restrictions in the field of tourism, to replace their General ban on travel and a gradual abolition of internal border checks where the epidemiological situation has improved.

Similar steps have already been taken in the Czech Republic, whose citizens can travel abroad even on vacation, but when you return they will have to go to a two-week quarantine, or to provide a certificate about the absence of in their body COVID-19. And the Czech Minister of health Adam vojtěch proposed to allow Czechs to travel to countries with a low level of infection of the coronavirus, including Slovakia or Croatia.
