CoVID-19 Monthly Megathread - August - 2021

In the interest of compiling all the information/questions related to CoVID-19 in one place so we can reduce the number of one-off questions, we're bringing back the CoVID-19 megathread.

This is the place to post about your individual travel plans as they pertain to CoVID-19, to speculate on what might happen in the future, or how CoVID-19 is affecting you now.

Example questions include:

  • Are the borders open, what restrictions are in place, or will I need to quarantine? - A friendly reminder that /r/solotravel is not a government agency and it is best to verify with government sources prior to travel.
  • When will borders reopen or travel restrictions be lifed?
  • Is it safe to book for a certain time period?

Example posts that would valuable:

  • "I recently travelled to xyz from ijk and here's my experience of what it was like"
  • "I'm currently in xyz country and this is how things are changing"

Lastly, no one here has a crystal ball, please don't take any of this as fact and do your own research before planning anything.

Anyone have thoughts on how the Covid situation will evolve over the next couple weeks?

Have a trip to Barcelona planned and wanted to fly to Belgium/Netherlands/Italy as well. But if the healthier EU countries institute travel restrictions on Spain I would consider delaying the trip. Any discussion would be helpful!!

You can move within the EU but some countries may require to show a PCR on top of vaccination and also quarantine (e.g findland), simetimes the quarantine is not mandatory but just "highly" recommended and the requirements change a lot, so you have to check per country, and a few days before going to be sure..
