Who is required to restrict their freedom of movement?
• All symptomatic Estonian citizens and residents arriving in Estonia.
• Passengers arriving from countries of the European Union, the European Economic Area and the Schengen area who began their trip from a country belonging to this region or transited a country of this region, based on the infection rate:
o the mandatory self-isolation does not apply to passengers arriving in Estonia from a country with an infection rate below 25 per 100 000 inhabitants.
o If the infection rate of the country is between 25 and 50, the need to self-isolate depends on whether the infection rate is below or above the rate of Estonia times 1.1. If the infection rate is below that of Estonia, the person is not required to self-isolate; if it is higher than the infection rate of Estonia, a 10 day mandatory self-isolation applies.
All persons arriving in Estonia who started their journey from or transited through countries for which there is no data or which are outside the European Union, the European Economic Area and the Schengen Area. An exception applies to residents of countries listed in Annex 1 of the recommendation of the Council of the European Union on the condition that the infection rate in the country is below 16.
