"Most countries have travel restrictions in place in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19.

The latest big changes include:

The Netherlands has a strict lockdown in place until 14th January.

Germany is banning UK tourists as of midnight on Sunday 19th December. Only German citizens and residents and their families will be allowed in.

Most UK travellers are banned from France.

Austria's lockdown has ended so tourism has restarted, but there are restrictions on non-vaccinated travellers.

Italy now requires pre-departure tests from all EU travellers.

Switzerland has changed its testing requirements for all arrivals.

UK arrivals into Poland will have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival.

Only fully-vaccinated UK travellers are currently allowed into Spain."

1. I'm supposed to be transiting through Schiphol and on to the South of France

on January 14th but being realistic, I'd say that the trip will have to be cancelled. The French government have already reduced capacity of sports stadia to 5,000, and they had 200,000 cases yesterday..

2. I checked the Carnival in Nice website

and it seems that is still on schedule for the beginning of Feb. I wonder if that will change.

3. 232,000 just today would suggest it's going to get an awful lot worse

over the next few weeks in France.

4. Maybe the powers that be are waiting

to see if this wave of Covid will pass quickly, as it has in S. Africa. Tourism and money drives a lot of decisions.

5. Agreed, but I think the hospital numbers will be worth watching over the next week. If that starts

getting out of hand, the pressure for further restrictions will become too much. The Six Nations rugby starts in 4 weeks, and we may see that played behind closed doors. We're checking out if we can cancel our flights and get a voucher instead, and make our decision based on that, although that may be taken out of our hands.
