Catchin' the Coronavirus? Nah, thanks!

Almaty, Kazakhstan, under the watchful eye of Almaty Akim Baktijan Sagintayev, is working hard to keep the city virus-free. A team from the Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control, along with other responsible structures, is on the guard at Almaty Airport, where they're vigilantly monitoring folks arriving from abroad.

Recently, from October 27 to November 3, a total of 51 international flights touched down in Almaty, carrying 7682 passengers. There were 258 careless travelers without COVID-19 PCR test results. To prevent any further spread, these 258 individuals were promptly ushered to quarantine facilities for a testing party. Out of the 258 tests, 219 results were negative, with the remaining 39 still being processed.

Given the worsening global health situation, Almaty Akimat urges city-dwellers to think twice before embarking on international adventures, and to, of course, continue wearing masks, keeping a safe distance, and staying home, especially if you're over 65.

Now, let's take a quick look at the friendliness index of some popular European destinations. While there are no stringent COVID-19 travel restrictions in place for Paris, France, or Germany, it's vital to stay informed about the ever-changing travel advisories and entry requirements for these countries. For instance, the U.S. emergency passport isn't a valid visa substitute for France[1].

Speaking of France, even though they don't have specific COVID-19 travel restrictions, the CDC recommends that all international visitors should be fully vaccinated against measles, and that travel health and medical evacuation insurance is a smart investment[4]. Germany, on the other hand, follows the Schengen Area rules, allowing U.S. citizens to stay for up to 90 days without a visa[1].

It's crucial to keep tabs on the latest news from the German Embassy or Consulate for any updates. Oh, and Paris locals might want to reschedule their travel plans, as there are scheduled disruptions to the public transport system from June 2 to 8, 2025, including metro and tramway closures[5].

Remember, health and safety are paramount, and both France and Germany have general advisories in place to ensure your travels are as safe as possible. In France, there are concerns about terrorism and civil unrest[3]. Stay informed about local conditions and follow health guidelines to make the most of your trips!

For the most accurate, up-to-the-minute information, consult official government websites or travel advisories for France and Germany. Happy travels, stay safe, and keep washing those hands!
