Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have agreed to create a free travel zone between them from 15 May.
The Latvian Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins tweeted that the “successful containment” of coronavirus in the Baltic states meant their borders could be open to one another. Citizens travelling between countries will have to self-isolate for two weeks.
Considering the successful containment of #COVID19 across Baltics, in call with @ratasjuri and @Skvernelis_S agreed on opening of internal Baltic borders from May 15 and free movement of our citizens. The citizens arriving from other countries have to obey 14 day self-isolation.
