That's further proof that Switzerland hasn't removed border restrictions then as was posted in the Wiki here.

IATA's website even still shows that the last update was on March 21st:

I believe France still requires a test for entry, so no, you won't be able to travel there if positive. Furthermore, I believe Czechia still has some requirements for isolation in case of a positive test.

What you suggested only works if neither origin nor destination country has an isolation requirement in case of a positive test and your destination country doesn't require a COVID certificate for entry. An example would be flight from Norway to England which would be perfectly legal even with a positive test. However, I'd still recommend staying at home (hotel) for ~5 days as advised in most countries and only going out for essential needs such as food, or some outdoor activities.

However, you may be eligible for a recovery certificate after two weeks (I'm not sure if Czechia can issue those to foreigners) which generally allows travel across the EU. Some member states will also accept a positive test older than 2 weeks for entry. This is usually valid for 6 months.

Croatia Airlines no longer require masks.
Slovenia have removed all internal restrictions.

Of course, I could have been mistaken but I had recall reading that a test is no longer a requirement for entry into France for those vaccinated (2 shots of the mRNAs) and boosted within 8 months? Naturally, I haven't read the directive or the language myself, and could have misunderstood what I had been reading.

Regardless, thanks for all of your insights and guidance, especially the sobering aspect of, "will be at the mercy of local authorities." Good Lord, this should leave SE Asia verboten for quite some time.

True, if you have a vax certificate, you don't need a test. But I presume that since France is asking for a covid documentation, it's not quite legal to go there if you know you're infected as their policy still appears to be to keep infected people out / quarantined.

Well, that formulation probably isn't the best. At least here in Europe those authorities will simply follow whatever the law is. Thus it's a good idea to go to countries with mild policies - either not requiring isolation at all, or only requiring it in a very mild form. These days most of Europe simply asks people to stay home for 5-7 days (sometimes even less) and then you're good to go and do whatever you want.

LOL...not only that, but I even have an official QR code on my iPhone issued by the great State of California clearly listing which vaccine, dates, and boosters. So, if during my trip, I end it in France before returning to the United States, I would have no reason to test, and run the risk of being at the whim and "mercy of local authorities." And, if I must be subjected to that dreaded possibility of a one way ticket to the modern version of the Bastille, it mind as well be in the French countryside!

This is helpful. I am comforted knowing that modern Europe will follow and stay within the confines of the law, even for us foreigners.

Apparently, Greece will abolish all entry requirements for the summer starting May 2nd. Not sure about restrictions once in country.

DaveS

Do you have a source for this? Internal restrictions are going but I have not seen anything official regarding entry rules.

stupidhead

Nothing official, but this is what I have.

I'm still waiting on something official before I decide RE: 3rd shot.

DaveS

I suspect that story is incorrect. What was actually said by the Greek health minister is reported below (in Greek). The entry restrictions are still under consideration.

Moldova removed all restrictions on 13th of April

I arrived at ATH a few hours ago. Before leaving USA, DL’s FlyReady said the app did not work at ATH.
However, on arrival immigration did not ask for any documentation including the Greek PLF. When I checked in the ATH Sofitel they wanted a QR code of my CDC card.

What are the odds that a mask will be required on a Lufthansa flight between the US and Germany in the beginning of June? Germany seems to be slower than others to roll back restrictions.

stupidhead

PLF has been optional for going on two months though and the vax card rollback takes place May 2nd apparently.

DL told me to complete the form.
