The National Committee for Emergency Situations (CNSU) has published the new list of countries with epidemiological risk, by color codes – red, yellow and green, depending on the incidence of COVID-19 cases. Turkey, the USA and Montenegro enter the red zone, while the Netherlands and Malta enter the yellow zone. Greece remains on the red list.
Main changes following the updating of the list of countries / territories with a high epidemiological risk:
- the red zone included: Turkey, Montenegro, the United States, Israel, Morocco, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica and Sint Maarten;

If the country of origin is on the yellow list, the person is not quarantined if vaccinated or has a PCR test, not older than 72 hours.
If it is in the red zone, either the person is vaccinated or quarantined. The test no longer exempts from quarantine.
