Ever since Covid-19 started spreading, we’ve seen economies feel the impact head on. Along with the public health crisis, governments around the world have placed a myriad of restrictions on movement of people. As frequent travelers, we’ve seen our world stall in front of our eyes as global travel restrictions have become the norm.
As we wait for the situation to improve, we’re all looking for that small ray of hope. However, we’re now seeing a few countries relax restrictions, while others have already signaled intent to open travel soon.

This interactive map published by the IATA serves as a handy tool to track global travel restrictions. The map classifies countries into four categories, each coded by a different color shade:

- Partially Restrictive
- No regulations related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) implemented
