Four countries join Estonia's travel restrictions 'red' list from Monday

Rising coronavirus rates in four countries in the European Union/European Economic Area/Schengen Area have been moved to the foreign ministry's 'Red' list, meaning arrivals from these states must quarantine for 10 days on arrival in Estonia, if they have not been vaccinated.
Bulgaria, Norway, San Marino and Slovenia have all been moved to the "Red" list in fresh figures announced by the foreign ministry Friday. The new travel regime itself comes into effect on Monday, September 6.
No changes were made to the "Green" list (no restriction on movement), which still numbers six nations – the four Visegrad countries, plus Romania and the Vatican City State.
The "Red" list remains the longest of the three, and includes Ireland and the U.K.

The revised lists and their accompanying restrictions are valid Monday, September 6. The three-tier system is coded red, yellow and green.

Arrivals from Red-list states must quarantine for 10 days on arrival in Estonia if they have not been vaccinated.
Passing negative on a coronavirus test on arrival, followed by a second test six or more days later – which must return negative also – will shorten the quarantine period. Proof of vaccination will remove the quarantine requirement.
The current regime, in place until midnight Sunday, September 5, is here.
More information is available on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' website.
The data is compiled by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. The list is updated every Friday and takes effect from the following Monday.
