The end of the summer season seems to bring back some travel restrictions between European destinations including summer hotspots like the Balearic Islands, Spain and Croatia. After Germany has introduced stricter regulations for travellers coming in from the Balearic Islands a week ago, Switzerland is following with the latest communication announcing obligatory quarantine will apply from August 20 for people coming in from Albania, Belgium, Malta, Monaco and Luxembourg.
