NIPH submits an assessment of the infection situation in the EU, EEA and Schengen countries every two weeks. Updates may occur more frequently if a country, or a region in a Nordic country, has an infection situation that is becoming worse. The Government makes the decision about which countries and regions require entry quarantine.
