The National Committee for Emergency Situations (CNSU) updated on August 19 the list of countries with epidemiological risk. The countries/areas are rated as green, yellow or red, according to their COVID-19 incidence rate. The new red list includes a total of 45 states/regions. Turkey and Greece, two popular summer destinations for Romanians, are still rated as red countries. Meanwhile, Maldive, Bahamas, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein are among the countries moved to the yellow list. At the same time, Indonesia and Columbia joined the green list.

If they come from the red zone, the test no longer exempts them from quarantine, but the vaccination does, according to Digi24. Children are also exempt from quarantine under certain conditions depending on their age.
