France Imposes Mandatory COVID Tests for Non-EU Arrivals at Airports

"From November 7, we will implement a mandatory screening test for passengers arriving from all countries in the world, with the exception of European countries," said Barbara Pompili, Minister of Ecological Transition, during a press conference.

"Travelers will be tested upon arrival and will have their results a few tens of minutes later, unless they have a PCR test of less than 72 hours prior to their departure," she specified.

For a few weeks now, France has been facing a resurgence of the coronavirus, which has led to the re-confinement of the country.
