ALGERIA
The European Union has proposed to reintroduce travel restrictions with Algeria due to an increase in Covid-19 contamination in that country. The decision is due to be endorsed by member states on Thursday. The update of the list created in mid-June to coordinate the reopening of the EU’s external borders was submitted for validation by written procedure after a meeting of the ambassadors of the 27 member states.
Non-essential » travel to Europe has been banned since 17 March in order to combat the spread of the pandemic. However, the adopted recommendation is not binding: each Member State remains responsible for the travellers it allows to enter its territory.

MIDDLE EAST
Governments in the Middle East should unify health measures, provide free testing for the new coronavirus and end quarantines to facilitate the resumption of air travel, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) recommended.
