BRUSSELS, Jan 25 (Xinhua) -- The European Commission proposed on Monday an amendment to the coronavirus-related travel restrictions currently in force in the European Union (EU), taking into account the new variants of the virus.
Following an announcement by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last Thursday, the executive arm of the EU proposes changes in two areas to the member states -- updating the agreed color code for the mapping of risk areas, and applying stricter measures to travelers from higher-risk areas.
