COVID-19 - when can we travel to / from a country ?
« on: June 13, 2020, 12:44:52 AM »
13th June:

Does anyone know of a site that shows what nation is open for certain nationalities ?

Failing that, I thought it might be helpful to post 'good news' re travel  to from FSU nations ...

Example the Baltic States.. I chose Estonia, today

http://vm.ee/en/information-countries-and-quarantine-requirements-passengers

They base your 'welcome' based on your nations infection rate.

BAD news nations... Russia: no-one'welcome' unless you have residency  or you're a relation of a diplomat ((

Cyprus is normally a good place to meet Russians - visa is online and takes minutes ..

CLOSED to N.Americans, Brits, Russians..

I feel sorry for you Mobe I really do but unfortunately the only flight you're likely to be taking anytime soon is one of fancy.

There will likely be an uptick in cases and the few nations that open their borders will close again pretty quickly. I reckon it will only be the very rich and famous that will likely be allowed to travel in the future, sadly not a category either of us are in :(

Ilona told me yesterday Russia is shut down until sometime this autumn. This is what her friends told her.


Georgia is supposed to open July 1st. But if there is a surge of covid cases they will shut the borders.

Indeed, I would be surprised if there is any let up from Russia. Ukraine however seems to be about to open it's border, for how long who knows:

http://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/ukraine-to-reopen-its-borders-three-months-after-shutdown.html

I can only imagine if any flights resume they will likely quickly be booked up by sex tourists. Little hope for those with other motives I would guess.

Sorry, this is very Euro centric but involves mention of Ukraine and Russia

http://www.euronews.com/2020/06/15/which-european-countries-have-opened-their-borders-ahead-of-the-summer-holiday-season


Given, I know someone who has travelled from the UK to Luxembourg by ferry and road via NL and B ( via a car ferry from the UK to NL ) and NO questions asked ( before the UK imposed a 14 day quaratine for arrivals on June 8th ) , makes one wonder as to the accuracy of such articles ?

All seems pretty accurate from what I see/hear Moby.

Great to see things here get to our 'new normal'.  Still a couple of hundred new cases daily, mostly in Lombardia(Milan/Bergamo area) hoping that will go down further.  Active testing, tracking and tracing going on to catch all possible.  An app is up and running being used by quite a few already.

Ukraine is now open to tourists, but one must produce insurance in case of hospitalization with Covid-19.  So, it's just a matter of finding and buying the right insurance.

The difficulty may be getting a flight in or out of Ukraine.  UIA is flying a skeleton schedule until the end of the month.  Officially, they won't book other flights until August 1st, but that could change.

I would assume that this winter there will be another shutdown in Russia/Ukraine....
those of you who haven't already received your allotment of women from the FSU are "sh%t out of luck" as far as the future goes...
sorry!

can't wait for my son in law's Party with the BEST Russian strippers you can ever imagine, OMG!!!
so much pooty-tang there!!!
after this tumultuous year, my wife has given me (actually gave it to myself, got her to agree) my sexual freedom with temporary liaisons d'amour
which will be convenient for my travels throughout Russia
and whatever opportunities may come my way
which is ALWAYS an abundance!!

my wife doesn't think the Vektor Vaccine will work, and that I'm going to end up getting Covid in Russia and dying there
maybe...
maybe not...
I'll see...
but I march to a beat of a different drummer
while the rest of ya'll can just stay at home and feel safe
I will be deciding between life and death with every step, every deal I make
keeps me sharp and on my toes, play my best A+ game
and feel no fear

Wife reports that Ukraine is now reporting record numbers of new cases on a daily basis.
Not surprising since they restarted cramming into Metro some days back.
Only idiots would not understand what was going to happen.

Can't believe anyone would want to be going there now.

And, to repeat for Nth time . . . many nations are or have been reporting much lower numbers than USA . . . which simply indicates they are not reporting true numbers.

Some people have business or personal reasons for traveling.

I am convinced that I had this in December and caught it on a flight before all of the publicity.  I am sure that I am immune now, and not worried. 

Unless I am seeing "ghost flights" online, Turkish airlines is flying to Kiev, with connections to the U.S., but not UIA.  That is strange.

get tested and find out if you have anti-bodies
everyone who has been to Russia and has gotten sick, thinks it might be Covid, including me...
but I got tested, and I had no anti-bodies, so it wan't covid
in September my daughter's and I are getting the Vecktor Vaccine
next year, almost everyone in Russia will have this vaccine
meanwhile other vaccines will becoming available
this is the ONLY way out of this situation
if it doesn't work, then game over, for the WHOLE WORLD
and welcome to "The Walking Dead" series without zombies
just your run-of-the-mill post-plague apocalypse
buckle up, it's gonna get bouncy!!!

There are lots of people on the internet all over the world that got sick last year and are convinced it was COVID-19. It's all guess work. Even if you truly did get infected by the coronavirus and beat it, immunity is not guaranteed. 4 monkeys were infected and beat the virus with their own antibodies. Elevated antibodies are believed to provide immunity. The monkeys were introduced to the virus a second time and two out of the 4 monkeys got sick again.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

Yeah, I read about some U.S. navy sailors who tested positive for Covid-19 after having had it before.  Of all of the diseases that sailors get reinfected with in port, this is the least embarassing to tell mom about...

I also read that T cells are important in fighting off Covid-19, which explains why most young children seem to be immune from it.  It may not be about anti-bodies so much.

Turkish Airlines had flight 458 KBP to IST and flight 5 IST to ORD working--but it seems Ukraine has closed the borders again.

Ukraine opened the borders on 15 June, but closed them on 17 June.

Do you have a source for this?

AFAIK, Ukraine has opened for international flights.  There are a select few repatriation flights scheduled.  The problem appears to be that UIA lacks reciprocal agreements with other major air hubs, except for Turkey.  Therefore, UIA won't book any more flights until Aug. 1st.  Understand that if the airline transports a sick person, or someone who is denied a visa, it is responsible for the situation, and it can cause a lot of inconvenience for both the passenger and the airline. 

Ukraine is not in the EU, so it is not part of the club for most of Europe.  It might be a good time to see Istanbul, and then cross the border into Bulgaria to get inside the EU if needed.  There is still a ferry from Karasu, Turkey near Istanbull to Chernomorsk, near Odessa.  I assume that is still running and the sea port is open.

Well, it says here that Ukraine extended the quarantine rules yesterday, but it says nothing about closing the borders or the air and sea ports:

And what about 'inconvenience' to other passengers subjected to the sick passenger ?

Cases of Coronavirus in Ukraine look like they will be going to 1000 per day in Ukraine this weekend. Possibly the figure may be way higher than that depending on reporting of serious cases, etc.

Whether this will end up with people from countries that are recovering from Coronavirus being able to travel to a country where cases are starting to go up fast is still to be seen. They might do or one or another country may shut it down. We've got around 1200 cases per day in the UK at the moment down from several thousand cases a day around a month ago. So potentially we're heading downwards in cases as Ukraine heads upwards in cases.
