Abstract
To limit the spread of COVID-19, the governments advise avoiding all non-essential travel outside until further notice. Aim: This review study aimed to find out the precautionary measures taken by governments to reduce transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Such countries have either suspended visas or do not allow visitors from infected countries to enter. Many airlines are suspending flights. Many airports are closing, preventing flights from leaving. Exit bans are becoming more frequent. The instructions that the European Union followed when the restriction should be lifted from countries that adhere to the standards set by member states together, including health status, ability to apply containment measures while traveling, and reciprocity considerations, keeping in mind the relevant data emanating from ECDC and WHO.
