People arriving in Lithuania from EU countries will not need to take Covid-19 tests, irrespectively of their vaccination status, the government decided on Monday.
The changes will come into effect on Tuesday, February 15, and will also apply to travellers from Switzerland, the UK, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican.
Until now, EU travellers had to present evidence of immunity against Covid-19 or a negative test.
According to Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys, these restrictions no longer make sense, since travellers do not represent a higher risk of Covid-19 spread.
Meanwhile, travellers from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) will still need to present a negative test, unless they have been vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid-19.
Dulkys emphasised that the EU digital Covid certificate will still be valid in Lithuania, but for use in other areas than travel.
