Self-isolation in Latvia is no longer required after returning from Iceland / Diena

Currently, the self-isolation threshold in Latvia is set at 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. One week ago, only the Vatican was included in the figure, but this week the incidence rates in Iceland are also low enough.

Self-isolation in Latvia must still be observed when returning or traveling in transit through Luxembourg, which has the highest incidence in Europe, or 1237.2 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, as well as through Andorra. The risk to public health in these countries is assessed as very high. There, the 14-day cumulative figure is twice the European average of 537.75 cases per 100,000 population.

Self-isolation must also be observed when returning or transiting through the countries listed in the SPCC: Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Norway, Estonia, Cyprus, Greece, the Netherlands, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Belgium, Croatia, Monaco, Spain, France, Slovakia, San Marino, Poland, the United Kingdom. Austria, Italy, Portugal, Malta, Romania, Bulgaria, Ireland, Iceland, Finland, Lithuania, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.

In these countries, the 14-day cumulative prevalence of Covid-19 is below 1,075.5 cases, but the risk to public health is assessed as high.

For the United Kingdom and countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), self-isolation is not required for travel from Uruguay, Japan, South Korea, Rwanda, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Singapore. These countries are among those allowed to cross the EU’s external border.

As the average EU-EEA weekly prevalence of Covid-19 has dropped to 537.75, from Monday, 30 November, regular passenger services will not be allowed to countries with more than 1,075.5 cases per 100,000 population. According to the SPKC, regular passenger services to Andorra and Luxembourg will continue to be banned from Monday.
