Three countries were added to Estonia's quarantine list on Friday after their rate of coronavirus infection rose to over 15 new infections per 100,000 people.
Poland, Bulgaria and Romania were added to the list, joining the U.K., Sweden, and Portugal, data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shows.
