Crossing borders - Biketourparticipants2021

3 Jul 2021


      Hi people,
I tried to compile here all relevant informations about COVID measures issued by each country that will be crossed during this year's biketour.
I won't include the information regarding the EU Digital COVID certificate, as requirements seem to be the same.
Let's hope that no other pandemics will follow soon because this is a real mess.
