The Dutch government has again imposed an entry ban for Serbia and Montenegro
As of 8 July 2020, the Netherlands has reintroduced the entry ban for Serbia and Montenegro. This decision was taken on the basis of a risk assessment with criteria that are as objective as possible about the health situation in those countries and the measures in force there.
The situation in Serbia and Montenegro has deteriorated to such an extent that the cabinet has decided to re-enforce the entry ban in order to protect public health in the Netherlands.
For this decision, the number of new infections was examined, among other things. That number must be close to or lower than the European average of 15 June last per 100.000 inhabitants over the past 14 days. Contact tracing and the number of corona tests taken are also being looked at. The Netherlands has also looked at possible consequences for the health situation in the Netherlands. Health organizations such as ECDC, WHO and RIVM provide the necessary information for this.
The lifting of the travel restriction, effective July 1, for travelers who reside permanently in the following countries: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay remains effective. For travelers from China, the entry ban will be lifted as soon as China itself also allows EU citizens.
