France will require travellers from China to provide a negative COVID-19 test result less than 48 hours before departure, the health and transport ministries said on Friday.
The test will be required on all flights from China, including flights with stopovers. Travellers on airplanes arriving from China will also have to wear masks.
France did not set a start date for the measures but will publish a government decree and notify European Union member states, the ministries said.
