Today, due to the increase in the number of coronavirus patients in China, France called on the countries of the European Union (EU) to introduce a protective measure of a mandatory negative test for travelers coming from that country.
Out of a total of 27 EU countries, for now, Italy and Spain are looking for negative tests for the coronavirus.
EU officials, however, failed to agree on the introduction of a common protective measure last week, Reuters reports, adding that talks on this topic will continue this week.
"France will advocate for the application of this methodology in the EU", said the Minister of Health Francois Bron while checking the new procedures with the Minister of Transport Clement Bonn at the Paris airport "Charles de Gaulle", reports Tanjug.
In China, earlier agencies reported, the number of people suffering from the coronavirus increased, after the official Beijing stopped applying the strategy of zero tolerance, which also includes restrictions on travel.
