Due to the growing number of coronavirus infections, Belgium's Foreign Affairs Department has banned travel to several additional regions in Spain and France, in the latest update of its website.
Several new regions in Spain and France are now considered "red zones," meaning that Belgians are not allowed to go there.
All travellers returning from abroad have to complete the Passenger Locator Form, but those returning from a red zone also need to get tested and quarantined for two weeks.
