Italy's "Chinatown" report: Yesterday, the editor has listed the entry rules for some European countries in the current epidemic situation. Careful street friends in need will find that there are still many popular countries that have not listed, because, regarding epidemic prevention regulations, each country in Europe has its own rules. Today, we will continue yesterday's topic and understand the rules for epidemic prevention in each country before departure, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the journey. The editor of China Street also strives to provide the necessary travel instructions to the streets in a complete manner.
