On Monday, May 11, in an online discussion among the Health Ministers from the Baltic States, conditions on travel across Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia were determined, regarding both inhabitants of the Baltic States and outside.
"For inhabitants of the Baltic States, travel across the three countries will be possible without quarantine. On the other hand, those who enter the states from other countries will have to comply with 14-day quarantine," said the Health Minister.
"It is allowed to travel to our neighboring states as of May 15; however, people must ask themselves whether it really is necessary."
Ministers also agreed that upon entering the Baltic States, travelers will receive information from mobile operators on conditions to be met.
Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs confirmed May 12 that a Memorandum of Understanding on the new "Baltic bubble" travel zone will be signed in Rīga on May 15.
