The COVID-19 Dynamic European Restriction Map

Reading Time: < 1 minute
COVID-19 rules, restrictions and regulations are dynamic and changing much like drone rules. In Europe before you fly you should visit the local flight rule maps, to see where current restrictions are.

Information ranges from “You need third party insurance with coverage for up to two million in damages” or “In a town you are allowed up to this altitude, outside of a town, to that altitude, and in these regions you have a military flight corridor, thus a flying ban.

COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving situation so it would make sense to keep a Google Maps layer up to date with current information.

This information could be

prevalence of the virus

whether the number of cases is rising or declining

whether there are barriers or restrictions to entry

What are the curfew hours

What establishments are authorised to open

Where are the closest COVID-19 testing locations

Where are the closest Vaccination points

What is the hospital bed situation for COVID-19 situation

Google, Apple, Facebook, and maybe even Amazon, should work on creating such a service.
