The United Arab Emirates is one of seven additional countries that have been added to France’s mandatory quarantine list, impacting Monegasque travellers passing through the French Riviera airport.
From 8th May, the French government extended its quarantine list to include Turkey, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, United Arab Emirates and Qatar in the wake of rising Covid-19 infections.
The list already included Brazil, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, India and Guyana.
According to the French government website, people arriving from one of these 12 countries can only enter France if they have “pressing grounds” for travel.
