For the **March 2020 restriction** you quoted, consult the **[WHO COVID-19 situation reports](https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/situation-reports/situation-reports-archive)**. WHO published these daily at the time.

Open the report for the relevant date and look at **Table 2**, specifically the **“Transmission classification”** column. Countries marked **“Local transmission”** are the list you are looking for. For example, [Situation Report 53, dated 13 March 2020](https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200313-sitrep-53-covid-19.pdf), has that table starting on page 4.

These are historical reports. The quoted restriction was subsequently superseded by a broader restriction on foreign arrivals effective **22 March 2020**, with exceptions, so that country list should not be used to determine present-day entry eligibility.
