- Travel restrictions. Although wide-ranging entry restrictions have been steadily decreasing, most countries still have partial bans for some foreign nationals (sometimes excluding residents of the destination country) based on particular outbreaks.
- Quarantine requirements. There are still many varied upon-entry quarantine requirements across the world. In some countries, proof of negative COVID-19 test results, vaccination and/or health certificate rules have started to replace strict quarantine requirements.
