Eventually, the rules for traveling abroad were simplified, so transportation without quarantine or entry testing became accessible again for those who can't wait to go abroad. If until recently very few countries allowed entry without testing or quarantine, the list of countries you can enter without these obligations grows longer every day. Here are some countries where you can travel freely and safely despite the corona virus.
