EU to open boarders to fully-vaccinated tourists

The European Union has approved opening boarders to fully vaccinated tourists from outside the bloc.

People who have been fully vaccinated with shots approved by the World Health Organization or the EU’s medicines regulator will be allowed in. That includes the three vaccines being used in the U.S.—those made by Pfizer Inc., Moderna Inc. and Johnson & Johnson—as well as ones manufactured by AstraZeneca PLC and Sinopharm, a Chinese state-owned company.

The decision still to be formally approved by national leaders.

Zimbabwe has largely used the Sinopharm vaccine, which means they could be allowed into Europe if fully vaccinated.

It is still a bit complicated.

A list of countries will be published that will allow non-essential travel. Individual countries will have their own restrictions, and decide what documentation one must carry in order to be admitted.
