Case numbers are being continuously monitored, and regions are following a traffic light-style system with varying restrictions dependent on hospital capacity and infection rates.New restrictions on entry have been brought in, including testing requirements for EU arrivals for the first time.&nbsp;Entry is largely limited to residents of the European Union, plus a select list of non-EU countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom. The entry regulations differ depending on a traveler&#8217;s vaccination status and whether they&#8217;ve recently recovered from Covid.Since December 6, a tightening of rules means it is now difficult for unvaccinated people to carry out day-to-day activities. Masks must be worn at all times inside and on public transport.From March 1, entry restrictions are set to be eased.
