Lithuania has banned arrivals from Bulgaria and Romania in its updated ‘safe travel’ list, the Health Ministry said on Friday.
The two countries were previously added to a travel blacklist of over 50 states most heavily affected by the coronavirus.
Arrivals from Sweden, Luxemburg and Portugal are still banned in the updated ‘safe travel’ list that took effect on Monday.
Lithuanian citizens returning from the five countries are subject to a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period, the ministry said.
Isolation is optional yet recommended for those returning or arriving from Croatia and the Czech Republic.
Foreigners from third countries may come to Lithuania only if they have a permission from Lithuania's competent authorities, such as the Foreign Ministry or the Social Security and Labour Ministry.
Lithuanian citizens can travel to Lithuania from anywhere in the world, but those arriving from countries with over 25 new cases per 100,000 people over the past 14 days must self-isolate for 14 days.
The so-called blacklist is updated weekly. More information can be found on the website of the Lithuanian Health Ministry.
