The COVID-19 pandemic situation across the world remains difficult and fluid. This is also due to the fact that a new variant of the virus, named Omicron, has emerged. In recent days, numerous countries have suspended flights from selected areas, shut down air traffic altogether, or have introduced additional restrictions in the daily functioning.

For this reason, the MFA’s call to avoid travel remains valid.

Please remember that the latest updates and restrictions are often released overnight and may also be changed during your stay abroad. If you are considering travelling abroad, remember that you may have problems returning home, e.g. cancelled flights, additional costs due to changes in the date and route of the return flight, and the requirement to undergo tests or quarantine.
