Baltic countries opened borders

The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have opened up their borders to one another.

Henceforth, citizens and residents in the aforesaid countries can move freely between the three EU nations.

As per the regulation announced by these countries, anybody arriving from outside the zone must face a 14 day quarantine.

This is the first travel deregulation in Europe since nations began shutting their borders earlier this year in response to the Covid-19 outbreak.

The measure may help these countries to make a huge advancement on its economic front.

At present, the EU is encouraging countries to dilute the restrictions that has been imposed to curb the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak.

The initiative taken by the Baltic countries is being keenly observed by the rest of the countries in the continent of Europe.

The economic impact of the outbreak on the Baltic region is not small. It is expected to witness a shrink of at least 8 per cent this year.
