Austria testing and quarantine in place
Austria is only allowing entry across its borders to anyone other than Austrian nationals if they come from an EU or Schengen area country plus the agreed small list of safe countries allowed into the EU (Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the Vatican).
All arrivals must be in possession of a negative PCR or antigen test result taken no more than 72 hours before arrival into Austria. If they cannot provide a certificate, travelers must take one within 24 hours. Everyone must then go into a ten-day quarantine and can test out after 5 days with another negative test result.
Belgium countries now color coded for entry
Arrivals from EU, Schengen area and the EU’s safe list are technically allowed entry to Belgium but all countries have been color-coded and all of these are currently red, except for 8 countries which are labelled orange: Denmark (Zealand, Southern Denmark, Central Jutland, North Jutland), Spain (Galicia, Extremadura, Valencian Community, Baleares), Finland (North and East Finland, Aland), Ireland (Northern & Western Ireland, Southern Ireland), Iceland, Italy (Sardinia), Norway (Innlandet, Northern Norway, Adger and Southeastern Norway, Western Norway, Trondelag) and Portugal. The EU’s safe country list are currently labelled green–Australia, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.
Anyone traveling from a red country must take a PCR test before departure and it must be negative.
If people must travel, they must fill in a a "Public Health Passenger Locator Form" 48 hours before arrival. Based on their answers, visitors will receive a test message if they are high risk and need to quarantine for 10 days. If they do, they must take a Covid-19 test on days 1 and day 7. If visitors do not receive a text message, they do not need to quarantine. Answers are based on the ECDC’s traffic light system of risk.
