The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that national authorities continue to apply a risk-based approach when implementing measures related to COVID-19 and international travel while respecting the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of travellers. WHO’s Policy considerations for implementing a risk-based approach to international travel in the context of COVID-19, 2 July 2021 is an update to the original (now outdated) interim guidance document published on 16 December 2020, Considerations for implementing a risk-based approach to international travel in the context of COVID-19. This guidance document summarizes the Organization’s policy considerations for national authorities to continue the adjustment of international travel in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It should be read in conjunction with its annex, the Technical considerations for implementing a risk-based approach to international travel in the context of COVID-19, 2 July 2021. This guidance can support countries in implementing and calibrating their international travel-related measures, adapted to their specific epidemiological, health system and socioeconomic context, to ensure they are proportionate to the public health risk. The key updates are additional considerations to include SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern (VOC) and Variants of Interest (VOI) in the risk assessment, and COVID-19 vaccination in the risk management framework, as well as updated evidence on the effectiveness and impact of several risk mitigation measures.
