On July 6, the Federal Office of Public Health published an initial list of countries subject to quarantine; It was updated on July 23, August 8, August 20, and September 7. (see map and list below). The list is updated approximately every two weeks, or sooner in the event of rapid epidemiological advances. It is not yet known when the next update will be made.

However, other factors also play a role. France was spared on the September 7 list, though the country reported 122 new infections per 100,000 residents in the past 14 days.
