The European Union's executive on Monday proposed a 30-day ban on incoming
travel for foreigners to the bloc to battle the spread of coronavirus.

"The less travel, the more we can contain the virus. Therefore ... I propose
to the heads of state and government to introduce temporary restriction on
non-essential travel to the EU," said European Commission chief

Asked if the ban would apply to the UK, Ms von der Leyen said that it would
not.

She said: "UK citizens are European citizens so of course there are no
restrictions on the UK citizens to travel to the continent."

Ursula von der Leyen added: "These travel restrictions should be in place for
an initial period of 30 days, but can be prolonged as necessary."

She said exemptions included long-term EU residents, family members of EU
nationals, diplomats, doctors and researchers working on containing the
health crisis.

Von der Leyen informed leaders of the Group of Seven advanced industrial
economies about the ban during a conference call on Monday. The restrictions,
which are subject to approval by EU leaders, can be prolonged “as necessary”
 after the initial 30-day period, she said on Twitter.

The proposal by the commission, the EU’s executive arm, comes as increasing
numbers of member states across the 27-nation bloc take steps to ban travel
to and from affected regions as they seek to stem the outbreak at home.
Travel between the EU and the U.K will be allowed under the plan, which will
be finalized Tuesday, von der Leyen said.

會允許EU 和 UK 之間的交通。初步訂30天如必要有可能延長。預計星期二定案。
