- COVID-19 measures adopted today in Europe fall short of what is needed to boost demand, according to groups representing airlines and airports.
- The IATA says the biggest complaint is that the measures fail to propose the replacement of quarantine requirements with coronavirus tests and won't stop states refusing entry from other EU countries.
- "We were expecting the European Council at least to be open to replacing quarantines by testing," stated IATA Director General Alexandre de Juniac.
