The Schengen border are closed to non-Europeans and the access to the French territory is subject to restrictions. "Those are closed and will remain closed. [...] A country outside Europe may not return".

the announcement of the possible lifting of the border closure comes after several decisions of other european countries such as Spain. The first summer destination of the French was announced this weekend that it reopened its borders to tourists this summer. Pedro Sanchez, the Spanish Prime minister, has said in this meaning : "I announce to you that from the month of July, the entry of foreign tourists in Spain will be resumed safely. The foreign tourists can therefore plan now for their vacation in our country. We will ensure that tourists are not at risk and that they do not risk to our country". To boost tourism, the Italian government will also 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. The United Kingdom has announced for its part, the establishment of a quatorzaine required for travelers arriving from overseas from 8 June. This measure, which will be reviewed "every three weeks", must accompany the déconfinement progressive in the United kingdom. Travellers in quarantine, at their home or hotel, will be subject to random checks, and violators risk a fine of £ 1,000 according to the british press. In Greece, tourism will resume before a widespread opening for all european countries from 1 July 2020.
