Slovenia eases travel restrictions but puts Budapest and Győr-Moson-Sopron in red zone

Several areas of Hungary and Austria have been classified as red zones by Slovenia. The country adjusts its travel restrictions during the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

The countries they have divided into green, orange and green zones are being rethought, based on the number of infections per 100,000 people bi-weekly. They adjust their travel restrictions for each country or region according to the number of cases, reported Pénzcentrum.

Australia, Cyprus, Finland, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, New Zealand, Poland, Serbia and Uruguay will be considered as green zones from Tuesday. At the same time, Italy has lost its green status and been put into the orange zone, along with several Croatian counties bordering Slovenia. Some Hungarian and Austrian regions have been classified as red zones.

Budapest and Győr-Moson-Sopron, along with Vienna, and the provinces of Tyrol and Vorarlberg are considered as red zones from Tuesday. However, Slovenia has eased a bit on their restrictions, as now those who travel to Slovenia from a red zone can avoid mandatory home quarantine if they have a negative PCR test, no older than two days. Countries in the green zones can travel freely, without any restrictions.
