This measure concerns the French always abroad who wish to return home and is put in place "to protect themselves and their loved ones."

On the progressive reopening of the borders in Europe, he explained : "What the world needs now, is to have a good coordination between all european countries so that gradually they can lead to the removal of controls, even if there will be controls in depth to continue in the long term." The European Commission has presented a set of guidelines and recommendations aimed at helping member States to gradually remove restrictions on travel. Concerning the lifting of restrictions at the borders, the Commission proposes "a phased approach and coordinated, starting with the lifting of controls between regions or member States with an epidemiological situation similar enough" and stress the non-discriminatory in nature : "where a member State decides to allow the travel on its territory, or to regions or specific areas of it, it should do so in a non-discriminatory manner, by allowing movements from all regions and areas or all countries within the EU who have knowledge of the epidemiological conditions are similar".

In early may, the president of the Republic has announced the limitation "of international travel". "He had said on this subject : "We will remain among Europeans.

To boost tourism, the Italian government will re-open its borders to european citizens as of the 3rd June. It also nullifies the mandatory quarantine for foreign visitors in the peninsula. Austria and Germany have already made plans to recover from the 15 June to the free movement across the common border. This flexibility will allow the business trips and family visits. Spain should keep its borders closed until July to avoid a resurgence of the epidemic
