France to US and Israel "Get COVID Under Control or Your Not Welcome"

France has placed Israel and the US on its "orange list" for travel as of Sept. 12, meaning arrivals from those countries who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 will have to demonstrate they are traveling for essential reasons and also quarantine for seven days.
The passengers from those points of origin must also test for COVID-19 before departure and, possibly, after arrival.
The move follows an Aug. 30 recommendation by the European Council to remove several countries, including Israel and the US, from the "safe travel" list of countries from which all travel—essential and non-essential—is allowed, regardless of vaccination status.
Europe’s airlines have said the European Council recommendation, if widely adopted by member countries, would harm transatlantic air travel demand.
