In Denmark, no changes have been made to entry restrictions or quarantine requirements. In Finland, restrictions and requirements are established for two regions, both of which turn from green to orange – Central Ostrobothnia and Eastern Savonia. Länsi-Pohja remains green as the only region in Finland.
At the same time, Latvia and Germany are turning from green to orange. Madeira and Portugal remain in orange, while the Canary Islands, Sardinia and Sicily remain in red. Crete, Crosica, the Ionian Islands and the Balearic Islands remain dark red with requirements for quarantine hotels.

All changes are effective from midnight, night until Monday 23 August.
