Estonia's Covid travel restrictions on arrivals starting Monday, November 8

Estonia's 'Green' list of European countries, whose arrivals enjoy no restriction on movement, is down to three states, one of which is the Vatican, from Monday, November 8, the Ministry of Foreign affairs says.
Italy has moved down to the 'Yellow' list, while six countries – Cyprus, Germany, Noway, Poland, San Marino and Switzerland have now moved down to the 'Red' list, meaning unvaccinated arrivals from those countries must now quarantine for 10 days after entering Estonia.
No countries have moved upwards on Estonia's traffic-light system of travel restrictions, over the past week, and practically all countries (Romania is one exception) have reported rising 14-day rates.
Arrivals should fill in an online passenger declaration form before arrival.
The revised lists, which cover the EU, the EEA and equivalent, including the U.K. and Switzerland, and the Schengen Area, as announced Friday, November 5, and in force from Monday, November 8, together with each country's 14-day coronavirus rate per 100,000 as reported by the Estonian foreign ministry, are as follows.
Green list - No restriction on movement
States with a 14-day coronavirus rate of 75 per 100,000 inhabitants and below.
- Holy See 0*
- Malta 36.73
- Spain 44.31
*In practice, arrivals coming from the Vatican are likely to have had to pass through Italian territory anyway, meaning they would be subject to Italy's coronavirus travel status.
