Lithuania, lifting its last travel restriction to people arriving in the Baltic country from other EU states, has removed the requirement to take a Covid-19 test, Lithuanian public broadcaster LRT reports.
According to a government decision on Monday, February 14, the changes have come into effect on Tuesday, February 15, and will also apply to travellers from Switzerland, the UK, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican.

Earlier Lithuania required EU travellers to present evidence of immunity against Covid-19 or a negative test. Lithuanian Health Minister Arūnas Dulkys noted that these restrictions no longer make sense, since travellers do not represent a higher risk of Covid-19 spread.
People arriving from outside the European Economic Area, however, will still need to present a negative test, unless they have been vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid-19.
