REUTERS/Wolfgang RattayBRUSSELS: The European Union is set to exclude Algeria from its safe list of countries from which the bloc allows non-essential travel after a meeting of EU ambassadors on Wednesday .
China has also been provisionally approved, although travel would only open up if Chinese authorities also allowed in EU visitors. The EU list is unlikely to be revised again during August, when EU institutions typically take a break, although countries might be removed if there is a sharp increase of coronavirus infections.The list serves as a guideline rather than a rule for the EU's 27 members and is aimed at supporting the EU travel industry and tourist destinations, particularly countries in southern Europe hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most of the countries on the safe list also either ban almost all foreign visitors or require them to quarantine for 14 days.
