The European Union is proposing allowing vaccinated overseas travellers to enter its borders as early as June as part of its COVID-19 reopening scheme.

 

The plan would require travellers to have received their second dose of an EU-approved vaccine two weeks prior to their trip and would only be open to people from countries with low infection rates.

 

The announcement is one of the most significant steps out of COVID-19 border restrictions so far, after nearly a year of hard closures to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
