Seven other countries around the world eased travel restrictions this week. The easing of Covid-19-related restrictions in these countries follows the trend of more and more global destinations getting rid of all their restrictions completely. In light of the improving situation around the world, it is set to make travel not only much easier for travelers, but also much more desirable than it was at the start of the pandemic.
The latest updates feature a wide range of restrictions that are set to either change them or remove them entirely, from countries all over the world. From recently dropped mask-wearing mandates to vaccine passports and the finally removal of quarantine requirements, here’s a closer look at which countries are among the latest to ease Covid-19-related travel restrictions, and what exactly has changed in those.
New Zealand
Traveling in and out of New Zealand is about to get a lot easier for travelers. Air New Zealand recently canceled its vaccination and testing requirements for domestic flights, while travelers on international flights bound for the country will benefit from the airline’s “no injection, no flight” policy removed from May 1. Speaking about the move, the airline’s chief customer and sales officer, Leanne Geraghty, said:
“This is the first step in welcoming international visitors to our shores and we couldn’t be more excited about both New Zealand and Air New Zealand.”
Austria
Austria is preparing to join the fast-growing list of countries that have removed mask mandates. The mandate will be rescinded from April 17, but the use of masks will remain essential indoor areas such as the health sector, supermarkets and public transport. Previously, those in the country were required to wear masks in all public indoor spaces, which makes the change a big win for travelers.
Scotland
Her mask mandate, which is Scotland, is also due to be lifted. The last country in the UK mandate is still in effect, the legal requirement to wear face coverings will be lifted in many indoor settings in the country From the 18th of April, come after long after being delayed twice before. The move will make travel across the UK much simpler, with standardized mask policies now in place across the country.
Cyprus
Cyprus is set to make several changes to its restrictions. From April 18, travelers will not have to obtain a Cyprus Air Card to enter the country, while vaccinated travelers will also be able to enter without a negative test result – making it much easier to visit the country. Just last week, Cyprus removed its external mask-wearing policies, as well as curtailing the use of vaccine passports in the country.
Australia
Currently, in order to be able to leave the country, unvaccinated Australians must apply for a travel waiver. However, from April 18, she has not been vaccinated Australians will no longer have to apply for permission to leave the country News that should be welcomed by both Australians themselves and the countries that will soon see an influx of travel-hungry Australian travelers.
South Korea
South Korea is set to remove many of its restrictions related to Covid-19 – a historic moment for a country that is usually strict. Social distancing requirements should be lifted, as should restrictions on public gatherings. While the mask mandates are set to stay for now, the country’s prime minister said the external mandate could be lifted in a few weeks.
United States of America (California)
Travelers planning to visit California this year have been boosted by the news that those who have tested positive for Covid-19 will not be required to isolate provided they remain asymptomatic. This rule change is bound to put California back on the map as the number one destination for domestic travel this summer, as travelers no longer have to worry about cutting their trip.
