After being in lockdown since mid-March, the government of Lithuania is easing restrictions and has approved for travellers from outside European countries to enter the Republic without having to quarantine for 14 days upon their arrival.
Similar to the current policies in Estonia, Lithuania is permitting arrivals from these countries contingent on the rule that they possess less than 15 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last two weeks.
