Background of the recommendations
Every week, NIPH provides an assessment of the infection situation in the EU, EEA and Schengen countries. An evaluation will be made of the countries / regions where it is relevant to change from yellow to red and from red to yellow in even weeks and only an evaluation of the countries / regions where it is relevant to change from yellow to red in odd weeks.
It is the government that makes decisions about which countries are covered by the ten-day entry quarantine.
