French Prime Minister, Jean Castex, announced this Friday, January 29, 2021, new restrictions in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, including the closure of the borders to the Hors-EU countries.
During an unexpected speaking at the end of a defense council around Emmanuel Macron, the head of government announced from the Elysée a series of restrictions.
Thus, from Sunday 12:00 am, France will close its borders to countries outside the European Union, “except imperative reason”.
The Prime Minister also specified that a negative PCR test would be requested for any entry into France from an EU country, “with the exception of cross -border workers”. This measure, already in force since last Sunday for maritime and air transport, must therefore be extended to land transport.
