Romania to send everybody arriving from Hungary in quarantine again
Change language:
From Monday on, everybody arriving in Romania from Hungary has to go into mandatory quarantine again because of the worsening coronavirus numbers. The new measure is valid not only for Hungary but also for 66 other countries which the Romanian authorities put into the epidemiological dangerous category. The only exceptions are those who were infected in the last three months or are fully inoculated.
According to index.hu, Romania enlists the countries where the number of new infections per capita was higher than in Romania in the previous two weeks in the yellow zone. In the case of Hungary, which Bucharest put on the yellow list on Friday, citizens
have to spend two weeks in mandatory quarantine from Monday.
A negative PCR test means an exemption only if the foreign citizen leaves Romania in 72 hours.

As we reported before, Serbia allows travel from Hungary without health checks. That means that
travellers from Hungary can enter Serbia without showing a negative coronavirus test or undergoing mandatory quarantine as of Thursday,
the Serbian government said. Serbia has inoculated 513,000 of its seven million inhabitants with the US Pfizer-BioNTech, the Russian Sputnik V, and the Chinese Sinopharm vaccines, it said in a statement.
The number of coronavirus infections in Serbia on Thursday was at 400,837, and the death toll was 4,071. Earlier, Serbia has lifted travel restrictions with Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
