France

From midday 17 March, all travel to the EU and Schengen Area is banned for 30 days. If you're in France and wish to leave, be aware commercial flights are increasingly limited. If you decide to return to Australia, we recommend you do so by commercial means as soon as possible. Also from midday 17 March, all non-essential movement outdoors is prohibited for 15 days across France. Visits to the supermarket, to seek medical assistance, commutes to and from work and other essential movement are excluded, but you're strongly urged to keep these to a minimum. Non-essential public venues, including restaurants, cafes, cinemas and discos are closed indefinitely. Travel to certain areas within France is limited and large events are banned. Australians in France requiring emergency medical assistance should dial 15 for COVID-19-related assistance. Follow the advice of local authorities.
