Europe has taken a big step toward new normality as many countries open borders to fellow Europeans after three months of lockdowns since June 15th. The summer vacation season can’t avoid people going out for traveling. 

Tourists from the U.S., Asia, Latin America and the Middle East will just have to wait for now. Europe is expected to start opening up to some visitors from elsewhere next month, but details remain unclear. 

 Many countries are allowing travel from the EU, Britain and the rest of Europe’s usually passport-free Schengen travel area, which includes non-EU countries like Switzerland. 

“You should open up as soon as possible,” said Johansson when asked about internal borders, explaining that the European Centre for Disease Control had said internal borders was “not an effective way of dealing with pandemic now.” The European Commission is asking member states to agree on a list of non-EU countries where travelers could enter countries starting from July.
