France decided to close borders on entry and exit from the European Union

France has decided to close its borders to enter and exit the European Union in connection with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This was stated by the Prime Minister of the country Jean Kasteks, reports TASS.

“All entries and exits across the French border outside the EU are prohibited, except in special circumstances,” Casteks said. The restrictions will come into effect on January 31st.

Traveling outside of France to the EU is possible, but only if there is a negative PCR test for coronavirus. This rule does not apply to workers living in border areas.

For all the time in France, 3.2 million cases of coronavirus were detected. Of these, 229.3 thousand patients recovered.
